Lampoon, the Muscles issue – Kyle Berger’s tuneless song for an apocalypse

Title: Tuneless song for an apocalypse

Squeeze, pull, throw, shake. Act. Let’s be realists, or rather hyper-realists, in this magma of profiteering, money-smelling people. Let us rob capitalism, let us empty the pockets of these decadent landscapes filled with fast food and department stores. Let’s act, let’s act now. Let us catch the reflex of a muscle reacting to this rubbish. There is nothing absurd, nothing fictitious, it is just the sickening taste of the post-truth era. It is a replica, it is a reproduction. Everything is the same, everything comes back to itself, as our faces shrink in front of a mirror that lies. Let us act, fellas. Tomorrow will be early and yesterday was late
