Happily sedated is perhaps a bit of an overstatement for many. More-so there's just so few opportunities that are worth anyone's time with how jacked everything is.

Especially with what is essentially a society that has stacked and piled so many laws and rules for just about everything that it's more difficult coming up with anything that IS allowed than isn't. And then what isn't codified in law or through rules is applied through manipulation and social pressures by gaslighting zealots, the media, and outright mobs.

Who WOULD want to engage with the rest of this bullshitty Clownworld?
