Seriously. People are all materialistic vapid assholes, billionaires rule the world and we're letting them because we're so fucking lazy and busy with following shithead influencers and taking selfies of our fake happiness.

The planet is on the brink. Is this it? I see dogs in the park... So pure hearted it hurts knowing they are stuck with us. With owners that leave them alone all day and walk them for a few minutes to make themselves feel better. They all have purebred dogs too because they use them as a fashion statement or what ever.

King Pedohile is threatening the whole world and again, we're just letting him.

How did we get here? Is it because of our big fucking brains?

    That seems like a bad thing to say. Maybe more therapy but more pills?

    The pills help you get to and better adapt to what is discussed in therapy.

    What is being discussed uses language that was decided by the same DSM that up until a few decades ago labeled homosexuality as a mental illness and caused Turing to be chemically castrated with the same estrogen that trans people line up for today, and then to kill himself over the violation of his bodily autonomy, and then to be stamped on £50 bills as a retroactive apology. That's what's being discussed.

    Language is used to pathologize people for seeing things objectively. Systemic critique gets converted into personal failure. If you look at how the anglosphere operates through language you'll realize that 99% of English serves the grammatical purpose of shifting the blame downwards and to pathologize people with thought-terminating clichés that imply that their own "free will" (which can't be proven to exist and which the elite doesn't believe in) is the root of their problems. Not the material conditions. But your reaction to them. Obviously. Because it's never material conditions created by a person who can be punched, it's always something wrong with you specifically. And with an ever-increasing proportion of the world population, apparently. The rise of depression is proof that the therapist class is doing a shit job at healing people, mostly because if they heal you they can't pay their mortgage anymore; and besides it's not like they can actually fix capitalism so they just sell you copium and tell you that you should be glad to be huffing it.

    So in conclusion: why does everything suck? Because language is captured so thoroughly that you can't even express the plain truth that your eyes observe without being categorized as something that can be used to reduce you to a manageable stereotype. So you internalize the stereotype and wonder why the cognitive dissonance you're feeling hurts so much, and then you're billed hourly to cope with it.

    In order to succeed and be happy you don't need therapy, you need lawyers who can litigate semantics and threaten people until they give up and leave you alone. Impunity is happiness for the untouchable.
