I just feel like: if my life isn't where I wanted it to be by this point, why should I be courteous to others. There's no reciprocity from them anyways. All I do is live this rut of go work, home and sleep. I know nobody nearby who I can relate to. It drives me crazy how I haven't met any of these milestones for career, family, or friends. I'm just by myself, screaming explitives into a digital void.

I just don't like anybody because of that. I don't like my coworkers and their simple Maga brains, I don't like my rural locality and it's dependency on service work for the elderly. I don't like any of the workers in those services because of how cowed they are and how short they sell themselves. Part of me thinks they deserve their misery for putting up with it all the time. I don't like the conservative culture of my area and how it limits who I can relate to on a personal level. All this just makes me not like people in general and I feel myself becoming more embittered these days. And even if was more amenable like I used to be, experience has told me that people still wouldn't want to bother with me anyways. Idk, these days I have such a jaded view of everyone around me.

I'll give you that people are stupid, but only if it applies to you and me as well.

I see the flaws in humanity and I still love us. I hope one day you'll find it in yourself to love us too.

I'm stupid and I feel myself declining every day. Sometimes I wonder if I'm getting a touch demented, given how shot my short term memory is these days.

But on the other hand, my reading comprehension is at least well above that of the average worker, which usually hovers at a 7th grade reading level. Remember the most challenging literature most of these folks in America will ever read is Animal Farm./s

If I love humanity, I am very disappointed in it. I'm disappointed in everyone, including myself.

I'll take one idiot that's trying their hardest over a dozen smug geniuses that won't lift a finger to help.

Nobody will ever make you proud of yourself. You are the only person that can do that. If you're not willing to try, please let me know and I'll stop wasting my time.

We need a revolution. We need help. It's time to put up or shut up.
