Like there could be two considered breaking points - the point where either you see marriage referendum numbers having a demonstration, riot or whatever, or the already existing broken points ones where people started making their own exceptions - like people who'll have a five household sunday dinner like it or not, or the people going to the sheebeens, or the people who overran a bar in mayo last xmas, or the people who had lockins this christmas, or the folks at weekly house parties all year. The point where guidlines are even adhered was broken through months ago.
Is this what you have in mind as a breaking point?
But yeah, as I was saying to flashback - it has no conscience - it doesn't care where your breaking point is. you can't earn favour with it and thats kinda what most people are built from day 1 to expect, so it is really hard to wrap our western world heads around something like this. I could just get worse for the rest of our lives, why does it have to be a decade, it has no concept of time. That's just the humans trying to rationalise things. It doesn't give a fuck. All it wants is some nice fleshbag to live in. we might be a 'lost' generation, or however it could be described, it really wont care if we are. If it's gone in 3 months, we are going to probably work till we are close to 70 through ever increasing weather disasters, power shortages, oddball interruptions etc etc. It is genuinely hard to fathom but I am pretty sure, after several generations of ever improving lifestyles at the cost of the planet, it had to slow down or stop at some point, and I think we are going to live through that.
And look, there is nothing in life i've enjoyed more that going to gigs in tiny rooms to watch magic happen before my eyes among people who like that too, but the concept of a virus and a weather system deciding that it's my turn to do that because I've had a tough year or two, is a bit of a leap of faith.
