I saw this :reddit-logo: post and it got me thinking. Maybe it's the intense sleep deprivation, but I can't even muster the energy to be angry. I'm just sad. I know that individual choice is largely a psyop, but if at least a third of the populace actively wants things to be worse, how can we change things for the better? I know that there are many, many loving and wonderful and kind people all around this country. But as we're continually worked harder and harder and grow more and more impoverished, even the kindest souls will burn out. And what are we all up against? Not just the :porky-happy: elite, but the average swine whose main enjoyment in life is pissing off and upsetting anyone who wants things to be better. What can we even do against this?
I'm from the midwest and particularly a suburb of a not-too-talked about small city. When I went to that "city", things always felt much more right with me. Even the lower density parts of the city had me thinking
:thinkin-lenin: "Huh, this is what the suburbs should have been."
I think the saddest thing about the Great Satan is how much better it could have been, that it is capable of nice things but actively chooses not to.
