I'm feeling pretty... Blackpilled, at the moment. Maybe even worse than that. Things are bad. Things keep getting worse. Not just politically, but... As a human being. All the failed relationships, all the lost friendships, all the... Shit, that has happened in my life, is sort of getting to me pretty bad.
But more than that, it feels like we're losing. Like things... Are spiralling out of control (in Aus, but also outside it). I literally can't look at ANY popular media, or any sort of news, without being utterly bombarded by it.
So... If you've got a good "whitepill", or just... Something that counteracts all this... Existential angst, and feelings of sheer... Doom, I would appreciate hearing it, I guess. Thanks. While it lasts, and while I last.
I haven't seen liberals waking up. I've seen a significant uptick in liberals arguing unprincipled exceptions but that's more of a cope that let's them keep their destructive worldview when it is impossible to not see some of the more obvious destruction. I have a friend who is all "Biden shouldn't have shut down the pipeline" but would never ever entertain the idea that climate change is a bamboozle.
Honestly a lot of what you describe. Identity politics is bad, mass immigration is bad, high taxes are bad, cancel culture is bad but still better then those evil, racist right-wingers.
I once asked a guy to give me a reason why he thinks Trump is racist, he was all about how Trump was racist so I simply asked him well if you are so vocal about it why do you not provide facts. He instantly got angry and screamed at me to do my own research. I was not the one talking about Trump. This guy is a Jordan Peterson fan that does not like most of the things on the left.
The disconnect is real.
You called..?? 🤣
(Not sure if that was deliberate, but...) I feel like this would work much better not on my own post, though, lol...
