Well if the Nika Riots of Constantinople are anything to go by and history repeating itsself, it won’t be long before sports fans overthrow the government and burn down half the city.
Yeah but at least the bread was free and the circuses were good. Now bread costs another dollar more every time there are ‘supply chain issues’ and the circus is what we used to call news.
History will repeat itself. Every fucked up thing that happened in the past is coming back again. It was happening all the time. But was happening in the dark. Now everything is openly being done.
But the capitalists keep telling me our lives are great because now we have computers and cars and sugar in all our food! Don’t tell me they lied to me…
the sugar thing just clicked something for me. I’m not exactly sure what it is that clicked, but often Dune’s Melange is compared to oil. Melange spice is probably more accurately comparable to sugar, as sugar is a psychoactive substance.
Sugar causes a cascade of reactions in the body, with different amounts causing different effects and altering some people completely. Take diabetes type 2 - there is a genetic component to it, but it has been empirically shown to be a consequence of consuming sugar. Compare this to the Guild Navigator who becomes incapable of living in an environment lacking Melange because they’ve consumed so much of it.
