    “Doomerism” when you live in DoomLand - Hellhole is justified. Only a total, worthless moron would think otherwise.

      Even though you’re right, the attitude is unhelpful. We should try to fix things; besides I’m not sure if you guys noticed but an entire generation of 10 year olds is glued to their social media. It’s sad AF. Here are some of the results:

      Even more bizarre, and brace yourselves for this stat, the average boomer is LESS likely to say that “feminism is bad“ than the average gen z’er. No joke. Almost certainly a result of social media overconsumption. Every parent I know with the exception of one allows their kids unrestricted access to the internet 24/7. Afterwards they collect mental illnesses like Pokémon. “Oppositional defiance disorder” is the funniest one, look it up.

        10 year olds? Most people who have access are on social media all the time just like people before that were on the newspaper, radio, or book all the time.

        Maybe this is something I am just failing to grasp but I don’t understand how social media is more harmful than basically every media. I can’t begin to tell you how much damage buddy cop dramas did to people’s perspectives of cops and how that created a more militant police force.

      There’s still beauty in the world and it depresses me that you can’t find any for yourself.

        There’s beauty in the wings of a butterfly. Will that stop climate change, poverty, war and violence?
