I don't know why I am writing this. Perhaps it is to try and understand what has happened, try to make sense of it all. All I know is this: the world has ended. I don't know who will read this. I doubt anyone will. All I can do is try to keep some kind of record in case humanity survives so that this mistake won't happen again.
Who am I kidding? It will happen again. I'm just trying to ignore the pain.
It all boils down to this. The government has failed. It is no more. And the sickest joke is that we all did it. It was inevitable. The people destroyed the republic. The looting is still going on. Hell, I joined in for the first week or so. What the hell was I thinking? World leaders are in hiding and I can't say I blame them. Anyone found to be part of the "old way" as it's now called is killed. Perhaps I'm not writing this to record the end of civilisation. Perhaps I'm looking for forgiveness.
Ironic that. There was no forgiveness in the old way. Now that I think about it there wasn't a lot of anything in the old way. Sure there were possessions, but there was never any sense that anything was permanent. Failure was met with swift punishment to all tools. Computers, monitors, datapads, droids, cars, clothes, you name it. So much as a rip, slip or minor error and straight off to the recycling plant with that and lets get an upgrade.
Everything was so fucking upgradable, it's surprising that people weren't upgradable as well. Well anyone that had a job was. Don't suppose there will be any jobs left now. What the hell have we done?
