Drama Masks: Feel good this plot is not - 48 hills

"Nothing exemplifies our existence in the shittiest timeline than an announcement for an SF " March For Billionaires" needing to be scrutinized for potential satire. It comes off as the sort of subversive act one would expect from the original Cacophony Society, which created both Burning Man and Santacon. Unfortunately, both of those events now exist as corporate-sponsored debauchery, far removed from their creators' anti-establishment intentions."

"As if that weren't enough, rumors have been swirling as to the potential of anti-immigration assassins touching down in the Bay Area ahead of the Super Bowl, wherein the halftime show will feature a Puerto Rican superstar hated by the White House (though official sources say that's unlikely). Add in the fact that the world's richest idiot is using one of his companies to buy his other company, and that robotaxis are hitting kids as they expand into offering SFO trips,"

"I've said before how much I despise the term "post-satire" to describe modern events, but I admit that the term becomes more apt with each passing day. Ours is the sort of cartoonish reality one would expect to see in The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd, but there's no feel-good moment to be found; they just continue to change the rules of a already-rigged game."

An announced San Francisco "March For Billionaires" reads like possible satire but also resembles genuinely subversive, pro-oligarch demonstration with troubling implications. The Cacophony Society's creations, Burning Man and Santacon, have been transformed into corporate-sponsored debauchery, undermining anti-establishment origins. Political leaders opposing a billionaire tax heighten the plausibility of sincere oligarch support. Rumors of anti-immigration assassins before the Super Bowl and controversy over a Puerto Rican halftime star add safety concerns. Corporate maneuvering by the ultra-wealthy and robotaxis striking children at SFO underscore technological and ethical failures. The cumulative picture is a cartoonish, destabilized reality where rules keep changing.
