I'll probably mature out of it some day. For the time being, I think that among my entire cohort the outlets for the negative energy brought on by everything consist of:

1. Irony
2. Consumption
3. Externalizing violence
4. Internalizing violence, like substance abuse, SH and worse

Therefore it's just the least bad coping mechanism that is within reach. The best way forward is to channel the rage into organizing and doing the actions I've spent the last years reading about, but until I reach the point in my life where that makes sense to do I need somewhere to pour the energy. I don't mean to defend irony poisoned brainrot, but I think there's different levels of it, and some are certainly close to benign. Like, I sometimes see something horrible and react with "dudes rock, hell yeah" and cringe at my own detachment. But that's also pretty far away from whatever Red Scare is doing. So I guess you can just be a brain half wormed kinda person? Also I think that retaining the ability to be earnest about it and talk about it goes a long way, which I think fellow irony poisoned folks should try out.
