What do you fear?

[constant escape]

Yeah, it sucks.

 

[boxedjoy]

What if the real vacuum is the friends we didn't make along the way

 

[woops]

aren't we all just vacuums, vacuuming away, not being able to hear the screams of our lonely, trapped-in souls

absorbing unwanted fluff, howling a relentless horror, internal filter clogging with crap until the point of uselessness

 

[version]

Has anyone actually read the initial post? I struggle to believe being afraid of frogs or ghosts informs your politics.

 

[boxedjoy]

Frogs are evil wee bastards though

Fearful that Britain will be unable to provide reliable electricity, water, basic security for the majority of its population. And then wolves proliferate as ice descends from the pole, as far as Finchley.

I've actually seen this.

I hope wolves proliferate. Also bears, wolverines anything really.

This is straight out of early Prynne

The ice, caused by decades of devastating global cooling due to the proliferation of electric cars, inexorably covers Britain once again. The British people have been hunted almost to extinction by the twin threats of Biden's Boygirls - an elite cadre of nonbinary BLM street warriors answering only to the Chairman of the Soviet Republic of America - and the Eurocrats: the fanatical jihadi army from Brussels who execute people on the spot for saying "foot" instead of "30 cm", even when talking about their actual feet.

I think there would be too high a risk of being sued for plagiarism by @HMGovt, sadly.

Nationalism. You'd think humanity could've overhauled its exceptional tribalism by now.

Power.

Revolution.

National Grid going down.

No draw.

a Robert Heinlein style authoritative white guy hero/author stand-in with the fucking absolute stiffest of upper lips, and probably also a Jacob Rees-Mogg style monocle - let's just say it's actually JRM, but Peter Thiel has turned him into an immortal cyborg - emerges to lead a resistance to this new Dark Age. the remaining British people band together in the greatest example of Churchillian Dunkirk Spirit in all of human history to throw off their merciless metric overlords. cyborg JRM fires a nuclear missile into the sun which [somehow, science handwave] reverses global cooling. everywhere pubs reopen, footballs are emphatically kicked, Britain is once again a green and pleasant land.

but wait! plot twist: in their dying the moments the Boygirl-Eurocrat alliance has sent the ultimate assassin - a genetically engineered combination [more scientific handwave] of all races, sexes, and sexual orientations, like T-1000 if its superpower was codeswitching instead of shapeshifting - back in time to assassinate JRM as a tween in early 80s London. fortunately the resistance was able to send JRM's grandson - Kyle Rees - back in time as well. that's right, it's just an elaborate excuse for yet another Terminator reboot.

I'm looking forward to the scenes when young JRM teaches his savior upper-crust RP slang a la young John Connor in T2
