Mfs say they're using maths
It’s been a slow burn since COVID at the very least.
One of the defining reasons I’ve become so disillusioned with humanity.
Seeing how little people actually value human life during covid kind of broke me
I watched my own family nearly kill an elderly relative of mine due to their own selfishness during COVID and then act like I was the problem for refusing to let it go.
I just feel empty inside at this point.
touch grass
Here's another excellent reason for disillusionment you have identified. People think if you just go outside you will be cured of anything at all, and they will recite this nonsense to you without fail. No one is allowed to experience social and political alienation because that is somehow a crime against collectivism.
But it isn't. These things are necessary to admit to move forward. The very infrastructure you would put others down for not valuing and not accessing does not exist.
They have, that's why they've lost hope in humanity...
There are a lot of people that seem to be in denial of the severity of our situation and offer no substance in the face of hopeless. Yet they think they can motivate people to disbelieve their own experiences in favor of comforting the malformed sensibilities of denial.
I go to the gym several times a week and go on walks daily.
Almost like touching grass doesn’t change how fucked humanity is.
And to go further, I also am not always hiding away. I have to interview people and meet with people and correspond with people for my work and studies. It has only broken me down more, especially since everyone is just trying to carry on as if things will just calm down.
