    So I have had pretty consistent opinions on our socio political state for awhile now, so I went back and looked at some stuff I wrote on another forum years ago. It's basically a very angry version of what I wrote above, which lashes out a bit with somethings I don't agree with now. But overall, I have felt this way for a very long time. I'm just resigned at this point. The anger is gone. Keep in mind this is from 2016, almost a decade ago

    I will with those I care about.
  6. G650
    One could, if one were so inclined.
  7. G650
    Yep

    I mean, my grandmother voted Trump. I still love her, but it certainly means she is less good as a person, there is no way around that. And I'm not saying this as someone of "the left" or whatever that means.

    I agree with this, but the one thing about it is I almost never see Dems bring this up. It's almost always Republicans, and then the Dems have to respond. I guess the answer is in changing the way they respond.

    They aren't fascist, but they are willing to let others suffer and die over the price of eggs. There are millions and millions of people who have differing opinions than I do. I actually enjoy being around those with differing opinions way more than those that agree with me, which I find incredibly boring. Voting for Trump is not one of those things, it indeed makes someone a shitty person, because at this point everyone who votes for him knows with complete clarity he will hurt our fellow citizens. There is no more shitty thing than that. It's a 100% conscious decision.

    This is by far the most insane thing to me. The government is the only thing with enough power to protect you from these guys, and you hand the keys over to them? Inconceivable.

    So I agree with this for sure. I think it's a result of what I'm postulating as well, as people have time to look around at others and see what they have for a change, and feel aggrieved about it. A keeping up with the Jones writ large, and some of the Jones are people less fortunate than they are even. Of course the irony is they never see the actual parasites like Musk and Bezos who make billions of them and pay no tax and share none of the social burden.

    Thanks, I appreciate that. This whole thing has really made me reflect a lot. A lot of this stuff I've thought for years really, but being at a point that all the anger has gone and I'm not as clouded by that emotion, I feel like I can articulate it more clearly.

    Runnin' through these Caverns of gold Runs a river of death indeed An old hotel serves as a Shelter for children Of the street Abandoned by the promised land Set sail on your own How much longer Will the well Be dry for those Who roam

    So in all honesty, I think this is a bit too convenient an excuse in toto. Is it part of it? Yeah, absolutely. But it's not all of it. I fully believe that it's purposeless and ennui that is the real driver. By any metric thinkable, people are better off than 40 years ago. Health outcomes (which are now reversing the past few years because of idiotic choices), you name it. Comfort has never existed for humans at the level it does now. The Cold War went away, existential questions faded. And people were left with a life that closely resembles the people in Wall-E. We used to socially engineer purpose by default, because everything required manpower, social institutions were almost compulsory, you had to have interactions for everything because it couldn't happen online etc..., but now, not so much. People who are intrinsically driven and have a strong sense of self have coped fine, but the other half hasn't.

    The thing, to me, is that it's not really a left right issue as much as a cultural one. I mean, good luck

    I mean, I agree they aren't actively evil for the most part. But at some point, you have to really accept they chose this with clear eyes. And as I said, I've let go of any solidarity with them. They broke the country willfully, it's on them to repair it if they want.
  20. G650
    Yup.
  21. G650
    As long as you come with solid facts and reasoning, sure. Most of us do I would posit. I wouldn't get caught up in the couple vociferous posters, they operate in volume, not in numbers. Plus you should see the internecine brawls here. Gaza, etc...
  22. G650
    I'm well aware. Sadly.

    Goddamn stole one of my favorite lines man.

    Prices aren't going back down unless there is economic collapse. Anyone with a room temperature IQ knows this.
  25. G650
    I mean, I don't either, but I have never felt shouted down.
