    Ring-winger gun-nuts: the 2nd amendment is meant to keep us protected from a tyrannical government!!!

    This is the second attempt on the life of your wannabe god-emperor…are things starting to click into place yet or are you ready to admit it was never about “rights” and “freedoms” you just really like having guns














  • I thought i had it on my drive but apparently not.

    The whole premise was on some rando day all screens with sound on earth (kinda live V), started broadcasting a message from the ambassador from the Concordium, and it’s all one giant monologue from him. He just says that anytime they find advances, intelligent life in the galaxy they monitor them for roughly 11 of our years to ensure they’re advanced enough and are able to exist within their structure and harmony. But it took less than 3 for them to determine we are not, cannot and never will functionally capable of it. One cited example is there at 10 individuals on the planet with enough wealth and resources to legitimately end hunger and poverty, and advance the civilization 100 years in maybe 10, but they’d rather burn the planet and let over 1/3 of the population suffer just to increase their already obscene wealth. Others include individuals damaging or killing themselves and others in displays of barbarism for mere entertainment, hate based on superficial features, and constant warring not towards the advancement of peace and prosperity but material goods and archaic resources that only further destroy the planet. As a result, our solar system is considered quarantined; they will not enter it, nor are we allowed to leave. If we attempt to they will eliminate us so we don’t poison the rest of the galaxy as we have our own planet. Only twice have they encountered warring species similar to us, and both times their intention was to try and build advanced warships to conquer their way out of their solar system, but because of their nature they both ended up destroying themselves and their planets for control.

    It ends with the transmission being cut, and the ambassador being asked if he thinks this could make humans unify and work towards the goal of bettering themselves to the point of being welcomed into the Concordium. He replies it has never happened in their recorded history



  • I wrote a short story about that. The basic premise being all intelligent life is part of a concordium, and they monitor a planet when life is discovered to see if they’re ready to join. But it took a disturbingly short period of time for them to determine we aren’t fit. They said they’ll quarantine our solar system and if we ever breach the boarders we’ll be wiped out.



    • Half the population claims it’s all a hoax and lets zombies bite them because anything else is a violation of their freedoms

    • Large swaths of gun owners take to the streets, and half of them die quickly because they put more money into the number of guns they had or making them tacticool instead of putting rounds through them or sighting them in.

    • It gets overly politicized.

    • The literal collapse of civilization, yet some corners of the government and billionaires are still trying to milk out the last drop of money
