Our society is fucked up. There is a reason why I am so unhappy with everything. Yes, there’s my personal issues like health and childhood/family traumas, but beyond that, there’s also the fucked up society we are living in that really gets to me. Our society is broken, in so many ways. If I didn’t give a crap like most ppl I know about things, then I could just be fine. The ppl who don’t care are happy as a clam.
Yes, I know I’m pretty fucked up from depression and trauma and everything that’s happened to me, but I’m also not wrong to say that society is fucked up and so are many other ppl. Case in point- all those Karens and Kens that are so prevalent now. They’re not just a few sensational videos, they’re like the norm now. I see them IRL. Asshole ppl. LOTS of them.
Most ppl think THEY aren’t fucked up. The ones that are cold and callous and don’t care about anyone else but themselves and what happens to them. But isn’t it fucked up tho? That ppl just don’t care about anyone else but themselves?
I think it’s fucked up we live in a society/world where ppl don’t don’t give a shit about anyone else. How is that “normal”? How is that “okay”? Am I the only odd one out thinking people shouldn’t be this way? Or I guess that’s the reality- that ppl are shitty and I should also just not care… -_-
But when you care how messed up society is, how messed up people are, how messed up the world is, how messed up economically and politically things are. Life is easy when you don’t care or give a shit. But when you are sensitive, and you have a strong sense of justice, you’re just in for a world of pain, bc this world is not just, and full of fuckery and shittery.
Am I even making sense? Does anyone else agree with me? Or am I just alone in my views as I always am?
This video is but ONE example of how sick our society is.

no argument from me on any of it. Kindness and consideration are actively punished, cruelty and bigotry rewarded.
I don’t know a damn thing about how humans “should” be. They used to be better, or at least pretend more convincingly. I’ll even admit, at an earlier point I encouraged a push towards sincerity, that the unkindness of the world would somehow be easier to deal with if people just said the horrible things they support. Turns out I was wrong on that.
it’s going to have to get worse, because the time period I’m personally nostagic for is the 18th and 19th centuries, when workers rose up against the aristocracy. The modern rich certainly behave as badly as that aristocracy, but too many people buy into the BS idea that they might be one of them someday.
we have more in common with dogs than the monsters who own most of the world. Dogs are more capable of empathy and compassion. I guess that’s my should, we should be like dogs; kind and loving to those that need us, and rip the throats out of those who threaten those we love (metaphorically of course)
i’m tired of this shitty world, full of shitty ass ppl.
It’s actually really nice to hear it from someone else’s mouth too.
I agree wholeheartedly, and am also paranoid that I’m the oblivious asshole.
no one’s 100% shitty. isn’t that clear? why are we going to extremes here
i admit i’ve been shitty. i don’t pull my own weight and complain about things that might be minor to other people. my empathy isn’t always clear. but i’m giving myself time to figure it out. i don’t know about other people though. all i know is that if you met me, you might consider me one of those 100% shitty people, and i feel like that line of thinking is doing you a disservice
Like I was getting at yesterday. The world is such an evil place with insidious people at all levels of government. Sure they might be humans like us but there is something inherently narcissistic and psychopathic to be that outspoken, to possess such a tremendous ego. They pull the strings and we are pawns in their game. Merely a number and a gear in the capitalist machine and identity meat grinder. The only way out is through, sure, there is light to be found but It is a pathologic ambition to seek that level of power and status in society. The energy that surrounds that institution is one of domination and control. I didn’t need to drink ayahuasca or take lsd to understand the layers to reality but it unveiled to me the hostility and toxicity of this culture. It’s all a pointless pursuit. The world, as evil and cutthroat as it is, will never kill the love or anger in me. They would have to slit my throat and take my fucking life.
