So is there anything about the current Zeitgeist that doesn't engender a massive tendency towards suicidal thoughts for the rest of you?

Both of you should provide some sources or, failing that, acceptable lies.

This midnight isn't

The world seems to be falling apart, people are focussed on anger and negativity when what they need is LOVE and COMPASSION for each other and the world. This midnight is dark as dark can be, but it will get better - much better - at the end of this year as we enter a new stage in global human conciousness. The " powers that be " want to prevent us from reaching this stage... they have already delayed the process by 12 years to maintain their control, but now it is inevitable

Cock-up before conspiracy.

Might be a bit optimistic, but I think it's usually stupidity, not a genuine sense of malevolence, which causes a lot of the bad things in the world.

Or maybe the Illuminati/Space Lizards have already got to me.
