I've had a hunch that the deep state ghouls are actually confused for the first time. They finally got their conflict with Iran and it sputtered out. It looked like for a moment they were attempting regime change in Cuba but that seems to have failed as well. The trickle of news I've read about the Iran conflict have suggested it was far more embarrassing and costly than we've heard, and that put a damper on a bunch of deep state plans.

They don't know what they're doing or why, so the whole world seems to have slowed down

Lenin failed to mention the weeks where nothing happens.

ICE is (relatively silently) turning the dial on brown people during the world cup, probably using it as cover to get things done since the backlash in a lot of cities. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/us/politics/ice-immigrant-arrests-surge.html

It is an interesting overlapping period of time. The WC is sacred in much of the world, 4th of July is sacred in the , and the funeral in Iran is sacred to most of the MENA region and a few other places. So I think there's been a sort of mutual pull back with all these special events occurring that no one wants to mess up too much for themselves. Now that the 4th has passed, I have a vibe that things will start happening again in more significantly historical ways. There is definitely a sense in the zeitgeist that the ruling class of the "west" has eroded its ability to really achieve anything worthwhile. So I'm hesitantly expecting some kind of flailing spectacle that attempts to reassert capital hegemony soon. Whether it works out seems quite dubious, but it seems quite likely for these events to unfold in the next 2 months.

Trump is busy celebrating himself and himself and himself, so we're temporarily back to "things are happening, but they're bad and fashy and quiet" stage of "things happening." Trump will get bored eventually and the quiet part of bad things happening will become loud again don't you worry

I'm honestly surprised there wasn't another psyop foiled trump assassin plot. We normally get them on the weekends. Unless the fbi is out of money.

it was the heatwave. everything slows down in the heat.

All the world's worst people were busy planning/celebrating the 250th

The Great Satan (USA) literally ran out of munitions

Maybe the world cup has something to do

The "World Cup effect" refers to the profound sociopolitical, cultural, and economic phenomenon where a single football tournament unifies fractured societies, shapes national identities, and drives massive consumer behavior across Latin America. Football serves as a significant cultural identifier in Latin America, temporarily unifying populations characterized by socioeconomic and political divisions.

Well, really, who has the energy to focus on resolving the global petrochemical supply crisis and ongoing genocide being caused by our ally when there's a dang algae! in the Reflecting Pool!!

I think they're trying to figure out what to do between not wanting to rein in Israel but needing to rein in Israel if they want the strait open.

They're kinda fucked both ways.

it's just the mid-season break

It's a hydration break

After being banned from reddit I also kind of feel like this. I'm sure plenty is happening.

Also ive been on newpipe for a year now so my feed is literally only the things I subscribe to, and ive been blind to a lot more recently.

I made a seperate profile with news channels and stuff just so I can get some headlines going and know if I should be looking something up.

Other than that I have to go out of my way to see what's going on in the world. Which I now do when I poop instead of reddit.

Its weird it really fucks with your brain at first, the endless scroll was kind of this never ending game of there could be something better to watch or read. Even with lemme its kind of weird because I'll hit all the new content in 10 minutes so it feels empty. Thats pretty much dopamine withdrawal and feels normal when you get used to it.

Dawg ive been home from work all summer with terrible mattress induced neck pain, no sleep and a distinct lack of amphetamines, nothing is all i see happening

Regression to the mean.

Things are not happening because we lack a ron Paul happening emote.
