Pretentious fucking world we live in

[Un-]

Being apart of the a group that's against culture has.. I'm more aware of people attacking smaller groups that they don't understand - not just SaSu. We're not alone. But that doesn't help.

It's saddening to see the average person's view is banning things that they both don't want to see, and don't understand. Curse you if you're not part of the larger.. Seemingly brain dead majority.

I just don't understand where people stopped caring about understanding. Even worse, I don't know why people have to have an opinion about everything - about the things they don't understand. Or that don't concern them.

I phrase this as if this is a new thing. It probably isn't. There's too many people that love the sound of their own voice.. And the voices of validation. They'd sooner let a fellow human die - emotionally, mentally, or physically - than sit down and try to listen to them.

What is WRONG with people?

 

[HermitLonerGuy]

people only care about what validates their own world views.

everything and everyone else is wrong.

What they believe and who confirms their views are right.

People are a bunch of bastards.

people as individuals can be awesome but like you say once group think takes over they may as well be braindead.

Thats where the term mindless sheep came from.

I'm very hesitant to say "sheep" and "brain dead" because... It gives a certain image. But what do you call people that just.. REFUSE to understand, when they have every ability to? People that REFUSE to question the things they're told? I don't understand it. I don't understand it.

It makes me want to cry.

Reading your signature lets me know I need to inform you that " Failure is only a dress rehearsal for success"!

The majority is being conditioned to accept and hopefully demand the silencing of meaningul dissent while being assured that "diversity is their strength". This IS double-speak. In the end Orwell got some things right even though Huxley was more... I want to say precise but I think now I mostly just click more with his literary style and the psychological aspects that preoccupied him more than the overt and less functional tyranny Orwell presented. Obviously the dark force behind the screen is shooting for a happier dystopia... Or aren't they?

I mean, this isn´t terribly new, I have to say. I don't think the resurgence of censorship and eventually the hunting down of "anti-vaxxers" and other meaningful dissenters is anything new. During the Middle Ages in Europe there were waves of burning of books and mass murder of Christian heretics. Some of the persecutions were so fierce that no documents have survived from the persecuted, we only know of them from the writings of the people that worked to erradicate them. Like then, that it was said they posed a threat to Christiniaty (and they did, for very good reasons), the narrative will be that we are a threat to "democracy" (yes, we are a threat to your SHAM).

If your pious Christian types had not tortured people and burned people at the stake, things might have been. There are thousands of Gods throughout history, and most of them were created by man. As far as modern Christians wanting gay people to go to conversion therapy and telling them they are going to hell for being gay... they can f off. And even more so to those primitive sand countries that throw gay dudes out of five-story buildings for being gay and f them to the 120th power. People are born that way and that is how it is, despite those religious nut cases wanting to impose their hate. Anyone who tries to dictate the life of another should be slowly and most painfully assisted into their next incarnation.

Yeah, you do get a lot of idiots who politize everything as well. Look at how they are trying to strip away abortion rights in America. I mean come on. People should have a right to their own body autonomy. The same should apply to suicide as well. When people have had enough suffering and pain, then it is their right to die with some dignity. We don't live in a fair and equal society. It's a shit show with too many bad actors ruining what could be a better world for us all.

I don't like the idea of me.. As a person... Being shut down in a sense for some nose-picker's utopia. I'm familiar with Orwell and his.. I guess theories. He's not wrong. It frustrates me though.

Sigh..

I don't understand the focus on specifically gay people but yeah, I agree.. I don't want people to die, honestly. But it's difficult to not slap the person who wants to condemn you to death because you like taking it up the ass, or because you're a woman, or whatever.

On the less extreme side, some of us have.. Things that make us happy, and they're being taken away. I hate that shit. I don't want SaSu to be taken away. Especially because the people doing it have no clue what's going on.

Like it bothers me so much. Like I'm sure they want a good world just as much as we do. And they want suicide rates to go down just like us. So.. Why don't they research properly? Why do they look at the nearest thing and say "It's that". Like.. Why!? What the dickens has possessed you to act in such a way?

And people lap it up. I don't get it. Man.. I can't.. Just thinking about how the bums of the world are running the country, and the geniuses of it are battling to stay off the streets. I don't fucking get it.

Empathy relies on recognizing yourself in other people's experience. If that recognition isn't present, then it breaks down.
