I guess I was a bit down at the time I wrote that, but I stand by what I said. I do think society as a whole is made to control and subdue most people, and that, in turn, makes a lot of people miserable. The people that failed around her, while bearing responsibility, are a byproduct of such a society. It's just that it's so slowly dripped down that almost nobody notices. Every screen will tell people what to feel, what to say, what to think, if you don't take control of the situation, and most people don't.
Nowadays, as people are more and more aware of such, and try to actively get control of their situations, we can see the rise of authoritarianism to shove down our throats what before was drip-fed: That undesirables (non cis/hetero people) should be cut off from society. With time, this will extend: Women, people of color, people of a certain descent, people of other countries, and other arbitrary definitions. We've seen it happen before. We're seeing it again. If you want to ignore it, that is fine. I won't.
This is not something that I feel special in thinking. It's just something I noticed, and for me, it makes sense. You don't need to take it for yourself if it doesn't suit you. That's what thinking for yourself means.
i agree with you and think it's a smart comment.
it IS built into society that people different are going to be treated poorly and will not reproduce and may even kill themself
it is also built into society to say "oh we don't want people to die" because people are hypocritical pieces of shit who will be mean and cruel and hurtful... but also preach suicide prevention. "You suck... but make sure not to kill yourself... OR YOU'LL GO TO HELL!!! Now go sleep outside if you can't pay you're rent so we can arrest you for not having a permit!!!"
it is also built into society to have suicide hotlines and the desired outcome the suicide hotline staff people have is ALWAYS to get you "support" and if you are suicidal, that means being put on drugs, and these drugs... they may it much less likely to procreate. They make people overweight, shaking, unable to orgasm, and then they gas-light you and say you're fucking bad for not taking them. "On a Wednesday after taking them, you said you felt sort of happy that day. You were improving! Don't you care about health and safety? I'm a doctor, take the drugs!!!!" And that's if it's voluntary, for a lot of people they are locked up, forcibly drugged, and have horrible side-effects. Some people have side effects that don't go away.
It's all by design, and even if it's not a planned conspiracy (although who knows), if people in society objected to this, they would change it.
Instead it's "work harder! you're weird! we hate you! now here's a gun... some cigs... some alcohol... you do whatever you want... BUT DON'T SAY YOU'RE SUICIDAL OR YOU NEED TO TAKE THE STERALIZAT.... HAPPINESS PILLS!!!!!"
You aren't saying anything pro-eugenics, you are just calling it like it is. Super hot women rarely end up homeless unless they are addicted to something... because if you are a woman, and super hot, someone is willing to help you out. If you are a nice looking athletic normal guy, doors just open. If you have issues and problems, doors sometimes open, but you have to knock a lot, and the opportunities often involve more personal pain and degradation.
"You want to stay alive huh? Deliver these 100 packages per day and piss into a bottle if you need to go to the bathroom, or else!!!! Now you can enjoy life with the little time you have, after paying rent, and getting food, whatever you can afford at least."
And yes, there are always people who are slightly different and make it to the top, are great successes, and then there will be news articles and feel good stories: "See! Everyone can be a success!" they will say, despite the fact that things are the way they are, and people are the rare outliers and may have high IQs or other unusual abilities, while most people who are a bit different in one way or another struggle much much more.
It's the horrible fucking reality and truth. Social security for the disabled exists so Christians (who believe in imaginary bullshit) can pretend they are nice people. "It's not like the cripples are rotting on the street... only those who could work and choose not to!" And even then, it pays so little that someone on it will never dare reproduce unless they are willing to give their kids up for adoption...
