Happeningville

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.

Mankitsu Happening

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."

Not Happening Fallacy

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.
