      You're not wrong lmao. Reality having a Marxist bias slams on your mental health like a turkish siege cannon on the walls of Constantinople.

        after so many years of being like "guys you dont have to eat shit" and 90% of society being like "nah we do cuz that pig guy in the suit with a top hat says we have to actually *gobble gobble * you know what... i think i'm starting to get a taste for it." it can definitely put a drain on the vibe lol

      Conversely, the spaces she praises do have a lot of (misguided) hope running through them

    Does she think we’re all just here because we love each other? I mean, I love and care deeply about all of you and your wellbeing on a political, solidaristic level. But if I’m being honest, I’m the only one here who isn’t a lib and I hate all of you.

    (I’m being precisely as sarcastic as you want me to be)

    I was gonna say something like "damn, hasn't this woman been through enough?", but I then started wondering if Merrick & other Twitter-left-"celebrities" actually have more friends, or social happiness, than the average person, or if that type of Twitter-celebrity is also deeply alienating. Is true online loneliness or isolation better than illusory non-isolation? Is it better to have no Twitter or a popular one? How is there any fulfillment to retweeting/liking the blandest shit and putting out such trite takes out in to the world, knowing that what gets the most engagement is what enrages and not what enlightens?

    I once had 500~1000 followers, yet I think it was very unhealthy, because I was so incentivized to be angry, to engage with things that enraged me and made me feel miserable, let alone the harassment. How have loneliness rates risen so rapidly when connection is easier than ever? Deep shit fellas.

        I get a real kick when some jerk with bad priorities points out my low follower count.

      Imo, connection is actually harder than ever. Both permanent communities and public spaces have been annihilated. Typing on a busybox in a shitty apartment can't replace that. Also the box is designed to make you mentally ill.
