(event: when time > 2s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[Back when it was still optimistically referred to as the 2019 novel coronavirus //pan//demic, in the days that anyone over 50 - myself included - still thinks of and refers to as the “beforetimes”, nobody, //nobody// thought it would last more than a month.

(event: when time > 2.5s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[And now here we are, exactly three and a half decades later, and a scenario that once seemed like something out of a second-rate science fiction podcast is now our daily reality.

Social distance has become the social norm, and the gnawing sense of deflated ennui that comes with it is a struggle for everyone. And masks, which were once seen as a temporary, necessary nuisance, have become permanent fixtures on our collective faces.]]
(event: when time > 3s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[That’s not a jab at masks, by the way. There are innumerable ways in which Covid-19 changed society, but one of my favorites has got to be the widespread and wholehearted acceptance of the face covering not just as a precaution, but also as a stylish statement of personal identity. I absolutely love my mask - I find the sleek, pink, breathable nanoplastic frames my cheekbones //very// fayshionably (Is that how you spell it? It’s all my teenage kid is talking about on TikTok2).]]
(event: when time > 3.5s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[But of course, in the "beforetimes", there was no breathable nanoplastic, nor were there glue-free, ionizing, adherent plates to magnetize mask to skin. Masks were almost invariably made of cloth, and that only meant one thing for us beard-bearers: face sweat. I can assure you that neither that, nor the moisture constantly fogging up one’s glasses were remotely pleasant. We wore face coverings not because we wanted to, but because we had to - and also because, hey, it won’t be forever.
--
I was in college when the world changed forever.
I say “in college,” but in fact, with the exception of the first two months of my first semester, I hardly ever entered a campus building. I started my freshman year at NYU only to find myself confined to my dorm room for the next four years, trying and failing to absorb $200,000 worth of knowledge through a computer screen and preparing myself for a career that I should have known, even then, was dead before I began. I was studying live theatre. I know. Remember when that was a thing?
On the plus side, I only ended up paying about one-fifth of that 200 grand. Five years after I graduated, President Sanders forgave my student debt. He also paid reparations for slavery, dismantled the prison-industrial complex, and returned an enormous swath of “our” country to the First Nations we’d stolen it from. Would any of that have happened if not for Covid-19? It’s doubtful. But a better question might be - would any of it have happened if not for Civil War II? Would any of it have happened if we were still the United States of America?
Our current Republic, of course, is far from dissimilar to the former US of A. We still elect our representatives, just like we did way back when - though unlike in the "beforetimes," every vote is roughly equal to every other vote in weight and value. And because the United States government, shattered by war, was ultimately razed to the ground and replaced - after months of referendums, debates, and public opinion polls - with a shiny new Republic, the entire population of the governed were, perhaps for the first time in history, allowed to truly give their consent to their leaders.
When the Endemic hit the United States, there were many progressive policies which had clear majority support but seemed unthinkably and unrealistically progressive for a country that elected Ronald Reagan, two George Bushes, and the President’s Father Who Must Not Be Named. Universal basic income. Universal higher education. Universal healthcare. Really anything universal was off the table, and the idea of not just reforming our justice system and police departments but actually eliminating them //entirely// seemed a pipe dream too radical to be true.
Then Covid-19 hit, the New Confederacy attacked, the country broke into thirds, and those radical policies started to seem not so radical. Suddenly the idea of getting the basics of life provided for by the government didn't seem so scarily Socialist. Suddenly the idea that higher education shouldn't haunt one financially for the rest of their natural life didn't seem so naively idealistic. Suddenly the idea that justice could mean something other than punishment of so-called "criminals" didn't seem so unjust.
Suddenly the idea of a public good, the idea that all of us working together are stronger than any of us working alone, began to take root in the then-American, now-Republican consciousness. And suddenly, all of our cultural myths about American exceptionalism crumbled, and we realized that if we, as members of the Neo-Republic of United Provinces, ever again wanted to claim that we lived in "the greatest country in the world," we were going to have to do an enormous amount of work in order to earn it.
--
And now, here we are. We all have healthcare. We all have income. We can all go to college without immediately getting flattened by a pile of debt upon graduating. If we have a child, we and our partner(s) get a year of paid leave from work. And if we make a mistake, if we hurt someone, if we do something that is violent or abusive or clearly against the public interest, none of us will go to jail (unless we make the mistake of traveling to the New Confederacy, in which case anything could happen given their incarceration rate of 37%). Our system of justice is no longer punitive but restorative, and that alone is a massive shift which, until the Endemic hit, I never thought society was capable of making.
I don't mean to be Pollyanna about the state of our young nation. Marginalization still exists, of course. Racism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, and all the other malignant variants of xenophobic hatred still exist, of //course.// But it is undoubtedly easier to be a minority in the Republic than it ever was to be a non-rich-white-cisgender-able-bodied quote-unquote "American." I could truly never have imagined myself saying this in the days of QAnon, the Proud Boys, and Ted Cruz, but I am honestly proud to be a Republican.
I am proud to be a member of a public, working towards a public good. It was a hard road to get here, and so, so many of us died along the way, and so many still die every year, even now that we've reached our destination. But we've made it. We rebuilt our country. We made America great again by making it not America anymore. And now, we live in a world we could scarcely have conceived of existing in the "beforetimes": a better one.
Even so, 35 years later, I can't avoid fond recollections of the times before an endless Endemic was even a conceivable near-future scenario. I've gotten used to social distancing, but still, I miss hugs, I miss handshakes, I even miss high-fives (although my teenager thinks all three are unbelievably weird). I've reconciled myself with the death of live theatre as an art form, but I long to see just one more Shakespeare play. And I love my mask, as well as the broad cultural acceptance of masks in general, but I miss the days when I could walk out my door and feel the summer breeze on my face.
At some point, though, what I still reflexively call "the new normal," I need to start calling, simply, "normal." At some point, I need to let go of my college aspirations of being a Broadway star and be content with my original cast recordings. At some point I need my heart to realize what my brain knows to be true, which is that I live in a better society now than I did in the days before the world changed forever, and I would never, ever want to go back. At some point, I need to stop thinking of it as the "beforetimes," and start calling it what it is: the past.

(event: when time > 2s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[Persona is a 60-sided shape. We call these sides FACES. Each Face has a FEELING. The first step is to locate your current Feeling on Persona - this is your Starting Face. If Persona were a board game, this is where you would place your token at the very beginning.]]
(event: when time > 2.5s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[TURNING

The goal is to Turn UP Persona, meaning towards (text-color:"#ffa1f6")[Joy] and away from (text-color:"grey")[Fear]. This, of course, is the goal of life itSelf.]]
(event: when time > 3.5s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time:1s)[To Turn UPWISE, Turn Persona until the two Faces with (text-color:"#ffa1f6")[Pink] Feelings are in the center of your view.
To Turn DOWNWISE, Turn Persona until the two Faces with (text-color:"grey")[Black] Feelings are in the center of your view.
To Turn CENTERWISE, Turn Persona until the (text-color:"#ffa1f6")[Pink Faces] are looking Upwise, and the (text-color:"grey")[Black Faces] are looking Downwise.
To Turn LEFTWISE, rotate clockwise. To Turn RIGHTWISE, rotate counterclockwise.
COLORSHIFTING
Each Feeling has a COLOR. When you Turn Persona, i.e. when you “move” from one Face to another, you are also Turning from one olor to another. We call this COLORSHIFTING. For instance, if your Starting Face is (text-color:"#eaff00")[Resignation] and you Turn to (text-color:"#00ff15")[Contentment], you are “(text-color:"#00ff15")[GreenShifting] Centerwise From (text-color:"#eaff00")[Yellow].”
To aid in the Colorshifting process, one may perform what is called a COLORSHIFT MANIPULATION, or CM, which is a mental and/or physical exercise designed to adjust your Feelings. For instance, to (text-color:"#b0adff")[Blueshift] Upwise from (text-color:"#00ff15")[Green], smile for five minutes. To (text-color:"#eaff00")[YellowShift] Downwise from (text-color:"#ffbf8a")[Orange], physicalize the (text-color:"#eaff00")[Yellow] Feeling.

Many thought the Endemic would wipe the smiles off our faces forever. So I designed the EmBuddy, and when it was released in 2028, the country started smiling once again.]]

Some, at first, were a little skeptical of the idea of having their brainwaves read, but nobody could dislike a device that knew what you wanted, and delivered it via drone, before you even knew you wanted it.]]
(event: when time > 3.5s)[(text-color: "#ffff80")+(hover-style:(text-color:"ffff80"))+(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time: 1s)[Baz Industries has always built the future by staying on the pulse of the present. When the nation finally got sick of cloth and melt-blown face coverings, we invented breathable nanoplastic and introduced masks into our line of fashion products. Our stylish monocles, outfitted with 16-qbit retinal display, singlehandedly made monocles cool again. And our newest product, the EmBuds, can transmit brainwave data alongside music, giving the listener/feeler a uniquely beautiful sonic/emotional experience.
But our business started as, and will always be at its heart, a drone delivery company. Not only are Baz drones equipped with package bays and RAA-certified navigational systems, which allow us to deliver anywhere in the Republic in under two hours, each drone is also capable of collecting a billion qbits of facial recognition and brainwave data per second. So the next time you see a Baz drone overhead, be sure to look up and smile. Trust us - we'll see you!

I might as well just inject this here pure, black-tar opioid right into my veins!”]]
(event: when time > 3.5s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time: 1s)[Well to that, kid, I have only one thing to say: D.O.N.T.!!!
Vaping, drinking, and smoking “the ganja” are all exactly as dangerous as jabbing yourself with a stranger’s used heroin needle. The second you put a cigarette, cigar, or “cigarillo” between your lips, you might as well just sell all your possessions and move into a halfway house because you’re basically a meth-head at that point.
“Cigs”, “booze,” and “reefer” are what we in the D.O.N.T. program call “gateway drugs,” because the first time you try any one of them you become instantly addicted. And very soon, those gateway drugs won’t be enough.
Soon you’ll be hooked on “crack cocaine,” or “bath salts,” or even the most dreaded substance of them all, a substance which brings about life-changing, mind-expanding, utterly transformative experiences, a drug so unbelievably awesome that you should never, ever, ever try it.
I’m talking, of course, about LG, full name: Lysergic Glyptapantelide, street name: “Looking Glass.”
Naturally occurring in the venom of the Glyptapantelese wasp, and recognizable by its distinctly lavender-like scent, Looking Glass is a psychedelic chemical which (by some brain-linking mechanism as yet unknown to science) creates shared hallucinations between those who use it in the same vicinity as one another.
LG doesn’t only give you a transcendent high and vivid hallucinations. It also allows you to share those transcendent experiences with your friends. Many who use LG together report that they’ve formed intense emotional bonds that last lifetimes.
Sounds awesome right? Sounds like something you’d want to try?
D.O.N.T.!!!!!!
Were you even listening to me before!? I told you, you become an addict the instant you try any sort of gateway drug. And LG is the gateway drug to end all gateway drugs - a wide, open, inviting gateway that’s so, so, so tempting. But you know what’s on the other side of that gateway? That’s right, kid. It’s heroin.
Not only that, LG can have terrible effects on the human memory. Both short-term and long-term memory can be affected, and language recall in particular is very vulnerable to the drug. If you get too high on LG, you’ll probably find yourself speaking nothing but crazy word salad.
Also, LG can only be imbibed through the eyes, and has the effect of turning your pupils purple - and who wants that!?
You wanna do LG, kid?
D.O.N.T.!!!!
But if you do, here’s how to do it:
DILATOR
<iframe src='https://psipersona.neocities.org/3d/lg_dilator/' frameborder='1.5' width='256' height='256'></iframe>
The most common way to imbibe LG is by way of an ocular vaporizer called a “Dilator.” It’s basically a bong, but instead of the smoke going into your lungs, it goes into your eyes. Note that the clouds of vapor tend to seep around the cracks in doorways, so if someone walks by the room you’re using the Dilator in, they might get involuntarily contact high.
LIQUID GLASS
<iframe src='https://psipersona.neocities.org/3d/lg_liquidglass/' frameborder='1.5' width='256' height='256'></iframe>
LG can also be imbibed in the form of eyedrops, or “Liquid Glass.” This is the form which creates the tightest emotional bonds between users during their shared hallucinations. Your short-term memory remains intact, but long-term memory becomes less reliable, though deeper memories remain.
GLASSES
<iframe src='https://psipersona.neocities.org/3d/lg_glasses/' frameborder='1.5' width='256' height='256'></iframe>
LG can be infused into a contact lens, which results in a much longer and much more subtle high. "Glasses," as they're called on the "street," are the most common form used by LG addicts - they cause only minimal hallucinations and are generally worn by those who wish to forget traumatic memories while keeping most of their short- and long-term memories intact.
SHARP GLASS
<iframe src='https://psipersona.neocities.org/3d/lg_sharpglass/' frameborder='1.5' width='256' height='256'></iframe>
The most problematic LG users graduate from one of the other three forms to tiny hypodermic needles. This form is called “Sharp Glass.” Injections of Sharp Glass affect all three forms of memory, causing gaps in short-term memory, making long-term memory unreliable, and fully erasing traumatic memories.
Do not, under any circumstances, use any of the extensive and detailed information I just gave you about this transformative mind-altering substance for anything other than outright refusing that substance when it’s inevitably offered to you.
And if you ever have the urge to do any kind of drug at all… D.O.N.T.! It’s that simple! Just D.O.N.T.! D.O.N.T. do drugs, kid. They’re awesome. Seriously, you have no idea how awesome they are. But D.O.N.T.!

(event: when time > 3.5s)[(transition:"flicker")+(transition-time: 1s)[Before the war, the word “cult” was a loosely defined, derogatory term used to describe new religious movements, and did not have any connotations relating to the conservative right wing. In modern times, however, this older definition has been largely supplanted by the idea of a KonKult - indeed, the word “kult” is far more often spelled with a K than with a C.
Pre-war KonKults such as QAnon, the Proud Boys, the Oathkeepers, and the Three Percenters at first resisted the label of “kult.” However, the term was embraced by the far right in the early days of Civil War II. Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson (name later changed to Tukkker Karlson), was the first to use the word KonKult as a stylized abbreviation of “Confederate Cult.”
The word “KonKult” became widespread in late 2021 when former President Donald J. Trump declared that he had not only won the 2020 election (for which there was no evidence), but also named himself Eternal God Emperor and Greatest, Best, Most Wonderful Monarch of America, at which point his followers transformed from political supporters into religious devotees.
ODIN'S SONS
<iframe src='https://psipersona.neocities.org/3d/kult_odinssons/' frameborder='1.5' width='256' height='256'></iframe>
The largest KonKult currently operating within the borders of the Republic, Odin’s Sons formed in the days following the Capitol Riot on January 6, 2021. The kult was founded by disaffected science fiction writer Daniel Rider, who famously stormed the Capitol wearing an animal pelt and a Viking helmet and critically injured one Capitol Police officer with a fire extinguisher.
Rider’s stylistic emulation of Old Norse warriors was inspired by a longtime (though little known) religious tradition within white supremacist groups, a form of neo-Paganism commonly known as Heathenry. These kultists worship Germanic versions of Norse gods, in particular the god known as Woden (Odin) and his son Thunor (Thor).
Rider and the many kultists who flocked to his side after the Capitol Riot came to believe that Donald Trump was an earthly incarnation of Woden, and that Rider himself was Thunor. Rider was captured by the 3IA in 2023, and at the tail end of the war publicly renounced white supremacy and defected to the Republic’s side.
Despite much splintering and infighting over the years, Odin’s Sons remains the greatest threat to the Republic due to its members’ fanaticism and viciousness. Followers anxiously await an apocalyptic cataclysm they call “Ragnarok,” in which Trump will be resurrected and Rider (who has disappeared since his defection) will once again return to the cause of white supremacy.
Members of Odin’s Sons can be identified by their Viking helmets, their hammer-shaped jewelry (an allusion to Thunor’s hammer Mjolnir), and their display of a symbol known as the “sig rune” (a pair of lightning bolt-shaped lines signifying victory, which was used by the S.S. during World War II).
THE STORM

An outgrowth of the pre-war kult known as QAnon, members of The Storm ascribe to a wide variety of delusional conspiracy theories, most of which center on a Satan-worshipping cabal which secretly runs the world in collaboration with lizard-like alien beings, which is locked in a decades-long game of “five-dimensional chess” with the somehow-still-living Donald Trump.
While not as violent as the other major KonKults, The Storm is easily the most adept at spreading disinformation on the Intranets. In particular, they focus on discouraging Republicans from receiving the vaccine, which they claim contains microchips that control minds via 88G flip phone networks. Members can be identified by their Q-shaped headgear and jewelry.
THE VOW

Also known as the Silent Sisterhood, The Vow is the only KonKult whose adherents are exclusively women (with the exception of its charismatic leader, Harold Hall). Members swear a vow of silence upon entry into the organization, and can be identified by the ring-shaped piercings in their lips which hold their mouths closed.
NORTHWEST IMPERATIVE

Identifiable by their tree-shaped headgear and jewelry, Northwest Imperative is focused on “freeing” the provinces of Portland and Seattle from Republican control. Northwest Imperative frequently clashes with Odin’s Sons because O.S. desires to return the Pacific Territories to the Confederacy, while N.I. seeks to establish an independent white ethnostate in the region.
KREATIVITY

Founded by deranged art therapist and Montessori school teacher Kkkathy Kkkonroy, Kreativity grew out of several similar kults including the First Church of the Creator. Members, known as “Kreatives,” are identifiable by their brightly-colored facial decorations and prominent display of the Swastika.
Any Republican who comes in contact with an individual whose jewelry and headgear matches the above graphics should IMMEDIATELY call the 3IA KonKult tip line at +0000-88. [[CLICK HERE|Puzzle Cube 6]] for a full list of known KonKults.
