"People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time."

Rather be unhappy than live in fear.

Which is what the asleep people have.

If you aren’t at least a little bit anxious and depressed about the state of the world, you haven’t been paying attention.

I also refuse to believe that all the racist, misogynist, bigoted snowflakes out there are living anxiety free, considering how quickly they blow up at the sight of a pronoun.

Life would be easier if I just believed that I am superior and that my president is good, too bad I have a brain 🙃

Breaking: people with empathy affected by other people's suffering.

You have to be racist to be happy! Obviously

Yes, it has to be quite nice and comforting to be stupid. I can only imagine...

So the less you care the less you stress? Makes sense.

I'd argue there's nothing normal about being a well-adjusted person in a terminally ill society.

Depressive realism

Having empathy in this society run by psychopaths is depressing and anxiety-inducing indeed.

It bleeds into everything in this whole place. You know when you're using something — a government system, a website, a support line, an application — and it feels like nobody thought about how shitty the experience would be for you? That's what it feels like to live in a society that has no empathy. The people that design these systems do not give a shit about how you'll feel being subjected to them, because they have no empathy and have never considered nor cared what your experience would be like.

My woke ass actually feels empathy for others, so of course I am depressed watching them get disappeared.

No shit. it's really depressing seeing all of those filthy pedophiles and nazis getting sexually aroused by dead kids.

and even more depressing watching 2/3rds of Americans refusing to deal with 80 million terrorists in America.

It's probably 300 times harder to be depressed and anxious when you are braindead, so this tracks.

Fucking accurate.

The only time I've seen racists sad is when Trump didn't kill enough immigrants fast enough for their liking.

As they say, (willfull?) ignorance is bliss.

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, the fact that a MAGA racist is happier than a woke person is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.

I couldn’t take current events anymore and now I’m in therapy haha long overdue really.

I too am happiest when I'm asleep.

You might come to that conclusion: if you associate wokeness with empathy then it makes sense to think that such people are emotionally influenced by all the shit in the world and therefor must feel worse than those who don't have such a burden. All other things being equal, that would probably be true; but it overlooks the fact that the proudly antiwoke are fucking miserable.

That's why you also need a cat

Source?

I'm not sure to which extend this is true but this might be correlation. I guess MAGA people are more often privileged while marginalized people are more often woke and due to their marginalization they are depressed

& those with the MarALago Mind Virus? Do tell!
