    I don’t know the right label for it, but I don’t think it’s quite hypocrisy. They’re mad when names are changed out of respect for another person. Any action like this out of consideration of others is “woke” to them. It’s an unnecessary display of weakness to change something because it offended someone to them. What we’re doing now is changing a name out of spite, a blatant disrespect, which is an action they value. Saying “fuck you Mexico, America deserves the name” is better than “people are offended at the name redskin so now we need to come up with something else” to them.

    They’re such gross people…

    The extra kick in the teeth is for those that for whatever reason couldn’t/didn’t go to college! All that messaging of “go to college or you’re going to be worthless” just so happens to have the affect of making you feel completely worthless for not having a degree! All those years on online dating I’d pass on people that were educated and/or had good jobs because “why the hell would they be interested in a worthless uneducated factory worker.” It’s fun!

    I have no debt, nor a house though, but I do have tons and tons of depression and self loathing!


  • I can definitely relate to a lot of that. I’m in a similar position in some of those areas, but one thing I can say for sure is that people don’t need to be family or even acquaintances to care about each other.

    Just knowing you’re out there and in pain is enough for me to hope things improve for you. I may not know you, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about someones suffering coming to an end.

    I definitely understand the not wanting to live bit as well. I’m only still here because I’m lucky enough to have a family that would be upset if I did anything to myself so I’m just waiting until my older family members pass on. Hopefully you find something that makes that desire go away as well. I can’t say it helps me in the moment, but it is true regardless that none of us can see the future so you never know what might happen to change things down the line.

  • Was talking to a friend about AI and job loss and eventually he says something about “those people in the past talking about reducing the population” unfortunately being possibly necessary… I think he was referring to some things written on the Georgia guidestones, but Jesus fucking Christ…

    Essentially “How many people are allowed to live is entirely dependent on how much labor Mr.Money needs.”

    I use this in all areas, if the goal is communication then you want to convey a message and have a person be receptive. If you insult a person they immediately get defensive and will instinctively reject or try to combat what you’re trying to convey to them. It’s literally the opposite of what you’d want to be achieving.

    The way I see it is insults are for “me,” they’re self serving in that “I” feel better about myself and feel some sort of justification for insulting you (I personally don’t, but I see the appeal.) but if the point is about communication then “I don’t matter” it isn’t about me it’s about the idea.
