I mean I get your point, but I think calling it “cope” is a bit of a stretch. The way modern education is structured does not encourage the development of critical thinking or empathy.
in fact the christian right has been actively sabotaging that for hundreds of years, as they lost the monopoly on literacy, and very acutely in the US for several decades.
Well that I blame on me being Internet brainrotted. Which I recognize is largely my fault before anyone calls me out.
I think that too, while you should take action against it, needs to be understood as a result of the relationship between you and your conditions. What drove you to be so online? What conditioning by your culture left you vulnerable to taking silly internet logic too seriously?
No need to tell me, of course, I just mean to say that if we only attribute things to personal failings we don't have any functional solution for fixing them. We need to analyze them in terms of not just ourselves but our conditions because changing our conditions is a much more reliable way to change ourselves than just going "be better".
