"I don't mean the obvious. There is fascism rotting not just our nation but the world, fascism so bad that common folk have begun calling it what it is and not just the communists and anarchists I spend most of my time with. The government shutdown, an event engineered by one party alone, exists solely to squeeze to death the programs they couldn't cancel the funding for through legal means, permanently crippling only the social subsidies that they deem unfit."
"Utah has approved a "word-conditioned housing" facility, which is legalese for a force labor camp, which in turn is outright slavery and either a kiss away or full into the early stages of concentration camp actions of the Nazi state. Common people are struggling financially and this causes us to fall into despair, thrash and wound one another, or indulge in escapism that's tooth-rottingly sweet in its vapidity to dull the pain, like an alcoholic sipping at the bottle."
Fascism is rotting not just the nation but the world, and common people have begun calling it what it is. A government shutdown engineered by one party aims to permanently cripple social subsidies by starving programs of funding. Utah has approved a "word-conditioned housing" facility described as forced labor and likened to early concentration-camp measures. Financial struggle pushes people into despair, conflict, or vapid escapism that numbs pain. The narrator experiences recurrent existential malaise in fall, with October marking the birthdays and deaths of a father (gone 14 years) and a grandmother (gone about seven years). Loss of parents induces a reckoning with genetic inheritance and mortality.
