2020 *should* mark a widespread legitimacy crisis in the public mind, but won'tâThe memetic energy of "2020" has already been harnessed for use in a sort of mysticism in which "crazy stuff" happens and Guiding Lights (institutions) swoop in to "save us"
2020 as a year has been permeated by memes like "2020 strikes again!"âReality is that "crazy stuff" happens every year and the only reason this year feels different is because that stuff was memetically weaponized by the institutions to manifest happenings of actual consequence
Economic crisis of tens of millions in job losses would not have organically occurred without the force of mass media, gov't, and corporate institutions memeing widespread panic into realityâPublic mind will remember 2020 as "the virus" crashing the world instead of institutions
A nice, round, digestible numberâ2020âServes as the perfect year to mark the beginning of mass social realignment and "change"âJust as 2001 was a perfect memetic number to institute War on Terror and security theaterâAnd so we all still remove our shoes at the airport
2020 is the year when Nothing Actually Happened, and yet many things changed because powerful people willed them to. Public will wholly misremember.
