Well it's kind of complex but the TL;DR: is 'The world is shit, punching down makes some people feel better in the short term'
Or alternatively: It's hard to be depressed when you're angry.
It's hard to feel depressed when you're angry. Just cause you yell at people doesn't mean you're not also depressed.
Let's compare your wikipedia degree with my half a century of direct personal experience, a minor in dev psych, diagnosed chronic depression AND EDS, and add on top of that an autist's special interest obsession with biology.
People like you post this kind of pithy meaningless bullshit all the time on the internet to seem wise, and it works on everyone except people who have directly experience what you are spewing shit about.
Depression is like alcoholism, it never goes away, you just get better at managing it
All that... to say you agree with me? Are you trying to stave away depression?
I always find it amusing when people respond to a rebuttal with 'oh you agree with me'
It's literally the laziest reply
