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.

Socialists should be able to channel righteous anger and disgust at the capitalist system. I too feel the misanthropy coming on lately and it's difficult to resist it but you have to remind yourself that we are all (other than the ruling classes) ultimately products of this evil system and victimised by it and it's not our fault that humans are unable to thrive under such oppressive conditions.
