I'm never happy and it didn't turn me into a MAGA dipshit. I don't think I'm even an asshole most of the time or at least I try not to be.
I think the larger thing lacking is two-fold.
Perspective. These people lack the ability to look at the world objectively and outside themselves to see the larger picture of where they fit in the world. They are unable or unwilling to comprehend anything remotely complex.
Empathy. They are unable or unwilling to walk a step let alone a mile in anyone's shoes but their own.
oh, number 2 is worse than you think. I picked up on a talk show on the radio the other night with a guest author who wrote, "Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion". They're actively teaching to avoid empathy,
This is what fills the airwaves around here of which a lot of elderly and rural citizens are inundated with daily.
Compassion is also frequently lacking.
Compassion is a natural result of Empathy: those who feel as if their own a bit of other people's emotions don't want others to be unhappy if only because that makes them feel a bit unhappy themselves.
This also applies to positive emotions, so those with higher Empathy are more likely to want others to feel good as that makes them feel good hence their notion of A Better World also includes what's good for other people rather than purely what's good for they themselves.
Maybe you should blame others more, especially foreigners, liberals, and education. Your problem is that you’re not blaming the right people.
I'm never happy and just blamed everyone collectively, rather than specific groups. I've been around humans enough to know we're all equally awful.
That's so weird.. with some exceptions, I've found most people to be pretty nice and friendly once you get to know them. I would never have said "we're all equally awful"..... I think I want to keep living in my world rather than yours.
That's okay I don't want to live in your world either
Why not? What's the benefit of being so bitter?
An enlightened pessimist.
Reading my own thoughts while having not written them is trippy.
I hadn't considered projecting my self-loathing onto others...
Only then will you become a real ~~Jedi~~ MAGA.
I think you're right. I need to pick a nationality to hate.
I'm thinking Icelanders. They don't know how to use vowels, get free electricity from the earth, and their cops hardly murder anyone.
"There's two things i can't stand; people that are intolerant of other people, and the Dutch."
How contemptible.

It's a serious culture issue. Big companies make lives worse and since th big companies own the media (except tiktok) they lie and blame the issue on something else.
