Everything feels so superficial, consumerist and gross. Like, it always was, but we used to at least have a counterculture to it. The only thing close to a counterculture is anti-woke shit which I think is going to bite us in the end.

I feel like I'm getting more misanthropic lately and I don't like it. But I feel like most people are just getting kind of shitty and sucked into "the game", more so than usual. Opposition to this is brushed away as bitter or "angry at the world".

But like, sometimes angry bitter people have a point? I think the total rejection of anger is dangerous, similar to not allowing people to be sad.

Everyone wears this mask of charisma, but it's suffocating and pretentious.

Are you talking about people in real life? I know stuff like being really into shoes and other products has gotten more popular but most people are just trying to get through the day without adding any more shit to their pile of shit they have to deal with.

Not necessarily a bloomer take but the average person on the street isn't wearing the mask of charisma in the way i think you mean. The mask is worn in service of keeping things chill and not their problem.

If you are talking about people in real life then I suppose it's more about the difference in people that we interact with most often. I wish there was more incentive to actually interact with people out in the world and not have it be immediately strange.
