My ex-boss was like this. I felt so much better after he was gone, that is how I realized what a massive piece of shit he really was. My job and life were suddenly much easier, my mental health got much better, and I could think a bit clearer.

    We've unfortunately built a society, in the US at least, that literally rewards and promotes sociopathy with money.

    These people lie and tell you we live in a meritocracy, which itself is gaslighting.

    Sociopaths 'overperform' in most kinds of careers, because they're so manipulative.

    Ok, so a lot of us agree on these basic facts, that there is this things wrong with the world, and we need a community that is an anti-venom to it.

    Also, hi! You are kind of my favorite Lemmy person for some reason.

    I feel like a lot of people on lemmy, a lot of reddit refugees... well basically they seem like 10 year younger versions of me, or something similar.

    Thus... well fuck, psychoanalyzing myself a bit: I'm basically trying to be the dad or I guess just any kind of actual postitive mentor I wish I'd had, when I say things like this.

    'Its dangerous to go alone, read this!'

    But yeah, laughter can help, and is a good part of any kind of discussion of the insane bullshit in this world... it doesn't have to be just always jokes all the time, as s coping mechanism... it can be sanity-affirming for a blunt autist such as myself to just wholly explain the nonsense.

    That being said: I'm not infallible. Ideally, don't believe a thing I say, verify it.
