  • You don’t seem to understand. There is no country on this planet that doesn’t have at least one abnormal living environment within. And the people living in such types of environment don’t have the luxury of entertaining your kind of psychological snobbism/elitism.

    You talk of ideals, not reality. From the role of an observer, not a participant. Your advice is superficial nonsense from a position of safety and comfort.

    I mean, what planet have you been living on until now?



  • An average person doesn’t mechanically compartmentalize emotions and puts them aside because they aren’t “productive solutions”.

    It’s good for you that you’ve managed this kind of selfcontrol in order to improve your life. But that’s because you’ve numbed down the things that do you harm.

    A person that isn’t depressed doesn’t have that kind of ‘benefit’. Emotions run freely and wild without fear. And cause all kinds of trouble.

    Lovers being jealous of outside attention to the point of madness.

    Siblings being jealous of biased parental love to end up estranged.

    Children in patched up clothes on the streets begging or on the fields working - being jealous of children dressed in brand new school uniforms and going to school together.

    Any person in a hospital bed with a terminal illness watching through the window the world living a life they can’t have.

    And so many other examples…

    Productive solutions don’t mean shit when it comes to strong emotions and jealousy can be very strong at times. Strong enough to murder even. I mean forget about the world-ending news regurgitation, at the local level where the average person lives, jealousy is high up in ranking as a reason for commiting crimes.















  • Some points are good, some are ok, and some are bad.

    This part seems bad for me specifically.

    Twitter, which was arguably the hub of wokeness, was bought by Elon Musk in order to neutralize it, and he seems to have succeeded — and not, incidentally, by censoring left-wing users the way Twitter used to censor right-wing ones, but without censoring either.

    An example of how this “not censoring either” is going. https://lemmy.world/post/24259702

    Ideas look good on paper, but then reality drops by and shits on it.
