To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, the fact that a MAGA racist is happier than a woke person is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.
I too am happiest when I’m asleep.
Username…relevant? I guess? This post makes me sad…
You might come to that conclusion: if you associate wokeness with empathy then it makes sense to think that such people are emotionally influenced by all the shit in the world and therefor must feel worse than those who don’t have such a burden. All other things being equal, that would probably be true; but it overlooks the fact that the proudly antiwoke are fucking miserable.
grimpyIdk I feel pretty fine not giving a fuck what other people do
LinkenFucking accurate.
The only time I’ve seen racists sad is when Trump didn’t kill enough immigrants fast enough.
I haven’t listened to Knowledge Fight for a while because I’m watching my own mental health a bit, but ol AJ has never sounded actually happy for more than an episode or two. Hatred like they have sounds like they sleep well, but they’re fucking miserable too. J.K. Rowling could shut up and just enjoy being rich, but she still has to find someone to hate and hurt. You wouldn’t really hear about a happy person.
They put ICE in the airports, they’re sending them to polling places, they bought the voting machines. Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose: a Constitutional crisis and a confrontation between the civilian population and the fascist regime is imminent.
AceFuzzLordIt’s probably 300 times harder to be depressed and anxious when you are braindead, so this tracks.
Having empathy in this society run by psychopaths is depressing and anxiety inducing indeed.
It bleeds into everything in this whole place. You know when you’re using something — a government system, a website, a support line, an application — and it feels like nobody thought about how shitty the experience would be for you? That’s what it feels like to live in a society that has no empathy. The people that design these systems do not give a shit about how you’ll feel being subjected to them, because they have no empathy.
