A metaphor for 21st century politics. How it never affects our daily lives. And how certain political actions never happen. Not a literal place.
Man, these politicians promised us free healthcare back in 2008. It appears we’ve been stuck in Happeningville for a while now.

Get the Happeningville mug.A Marxist analysis of a library, in which using dialectics, it is concluded that the best way to relieve contradictions amongst a new proletariat worker and a petite bourgeois big-booba boss (stress and a sexual zeitgeist) is to perform a little old Aufhebung (steamy fucking!!!!)
Person 1: "My thirst of knowledge was so strong yesterday. So strong in fact that I couldn't help but watch a bit of Mankitsu Happening."
Person 2: "Revisionist trotskyite."

Get the Mankitsu Happening mug.Related Words
A cognitive and rhetorical failure where the sheer scale, complexity, or existential dread of a looming crisis (like climate catastrophe or societal collapse) leads individuals and institutions to treat it as impossible rather than improbable. It’s not denial of evidence, but a psychological surrender to the unthinkable. By dismissing the event as "not happening," the mind avoids the paralyzing burden of preparing for it. This fallacy confuses statistical low-probability with metaphysical impossibility, often reinforced by the fact that truly systemic disasters have no recent local precedent, making them feel like science fiction instead of pending history.
Example: A coastal city council rejects funding for a massive seawall upgrade because "a storm that powerful has never hit us here." This is the Not Happening Fallacy. They are not denying climate science; they are treating a historically unprecedented, high-impact hurricane—now more likely due to warming oceans—as a mythic event, opting for cognitive comfort over costly, disruptive preparation.

Get the There's nothing happening mug.You want me and my life to be worse than yours on the basis of things I've said so you are trying to deny me the credit for the things I've done because if you can't punish me for doing things you don't like (regardless of the consequences or laws) then your just going to refuse to reward me for my virtues EXCEPT you aren't actually rewarding people with "resources" for their virtues... You are stealing resources for and giving resources to the fat cocks because they make your pussy twitch and it FeEeEeLS SoOo GoOoOoD!!! You're like the Key and Peele "Awkward" sketch where you don't actually have a genuine thought in your head so it's just "I choose the bear!" And I say, just feed anyone who chooses the bear to a bear. And THAT is why the Taliban exists and THAT is what makes Muhammad a fucking genius because THAT stops THIS from happening and if your faculties of reason could override your orgasm derived brain spams it wouldn't be necessary. It's also why we don't need sex robots because (in the context of determinism AND evolutionary biology) WE ALREADY HAVE THEM AND THEY ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO DO.
So this is what's happening here:
Hym "Yeah, don't go in there. There's a bear in there."
You "ThErE's A bEaR iN tHeRe! ThErE's A bEaR iN tHeRe!"

Hym 😑
You "SeRiOuSlY, I!" *reaches for door handle*
Hym "You need to stop you're gonna-"
You "YoU nEeD tO sToP! YoU nEeD tO sToP!" *Opens door* *Proceeds to get mauled by bear* "AAAAAH! AAAAAH! FUCK YOU!! FUCK YOoOoOuUuU!"
🤬🖕
Hym 😑 *Sigh* "You know... If I would have raped Kendra.... I would be getting out of prison right about now... And I would still have to work at a gas station... Therefore, probably just better to rape. Should have raped. I might have even gotten away with it!"
You *Continues to get mauled* "AAAAAAH! I CHOOSE THE BEAR! AAAAAH!"
Hym "AHA! Hahahaha! Ooooh man... You know... I still don't ever get tired of watching people die... *Sigh*"
You "GAAAK! GAWK!" *Crunching noises*
Hym "Hoooooo man.... Remember when God was like 'Hey, don't fuck your sister' and humanity was like 'How about I fuck my sister and then make a ritual where everyone I fuck is kind of my sister!?' Because... This is why you don't do that for 2000 years straight..."
Hym "Yeah, don't go in there. There's a bear in there."
You "ThErE's A bEaR iN tHeRe! ThErE's A bEaR iN tHeRe!"

Get the It's just going to keep happening 😭 mug.Hym "Yeah, that's not what's happening here, fuck-face. You're ignoring until I do what you want but I'm just not ever going to do it. So I'm going to murder a child. You ARE going to regret trying to do this (if you don't already). I don't need to do it today to know that for a fact. The people who aren't going to regret losing another one are likely the loudest and you should probably ask THEM why THEY want kids to die as much as I do."
