    People who think the end of civilization as we know it isn’t around the corner

    me: nothx

    People who know the end is near but have no idea what to do and are panicking

    me: nothx

    People who are preparing for the end of civilization as we know it with <things> and <plans>

    me: nothx

    Someone who has fully embraced we’re living in Kali Yuga and just wings what being a good person is one step at a time

    me: Marry me.

        If you’ve only seen swastikas on them too, it speaks more of your lack of awareness about indian/protoindoeuropean mythos than it does about Kali Yuga.

        So when you see an eagle in nature do you also accuse them of fascism?

      For anyone wondering, Kali Yuga began 5,127 years ago and has 426,873 years left as of 2026. And yes, it’s the worst cycle. I think we can all agree on that.

          Yugas, world ages. Kali is god/deity that represents chaos, or is often considered the personification of sin. He’s also associated with suffering.

          Kali Yuga: age of chaos, age of suffering, age of conflict.

          It’s sometimes brought up in incredibly fascinating contexts, and is sometimes used by religious leaders as a way to motivate people to do the bare minimum. Like, if the world is currently full of chaos, suffering, and conflict, then consider how much more meaningful it would be for you to share the fruit that grows on your tree instead of praying for the gods to harm your neighbors. It’s a great way to heap on praise for people who are only driven by their own ego.

          More often, though, it’s used as a thought-terminating argument by your family members when they realize that they can’t defend their choices and are unwilling to admit that they’ve ever been wrong about anything.

                    Wait, you’re on a forum date?

                    nice.

                    So umm… I don’t know what people do on dates nowadays but in my experience from back in the day when I was a real Dong JoAnne they just doom scrolled until I left their field of view or got near security personnel and then pointed goodbye at me.

                    I guess they got a little intimid-

                    👮< Excuse me, is this terminally online attention fiend bothering you?)

                    👮🏻‍♂️< We got a few calls… )
