Shit like this is slowly making me misanthropic and I absolutely hate it. I don't wanna be a cynical asshole, but this stuff just makes me tired. I'm sick of the division. Sick of incompetent authorities. Sick of the media amping this shit up and gaslighting people and turning even family against each other. Sick of people cheering on rioting and assault and bending over backwards to defend the undefendable.
I wanna keep being the ray of sunshine girl who always sees the good in people and the bright side of things but these last few months seem determined to crush that. I've been trying my hardest to avoid slipping into apathy, and it's been working for the most part, but these last few days have just hammered down on me.
Sorry for the doomposting. I'm just so goddamn tired of current year.
Naw dude, I feel it.
The thing that pisses me off is less what's happening and more how people are responding to it.
There are
so many fucking people making excuses and justification for the rioters- and then they turn around and start talking about how "uhhh, it's the
cops doing this? Obviously the innocent uWu protesters are just out there being Righteously Angry and protesting appropriately, it's undercover cops doing this!" Like
Christ, pick a lane. And I don't believe for a fucking second that the cops are behind the fires or inciting riots. There's plenty of footage on the internet that the MSM isn't showing that strongly suggests the opposite.
Then we have the "buildings can be replaced" shit because evidently these people are too stupid to figure out that 1+1 equals 2, and if that "building" is a business it means that people are not working; if that building is a home, people are
homeless. I feel like every single fucker saying this shit hasn't actually
lost anything, or isn't in danger of losing anything to the rioters.
It just feels like a bunch of giant fucking babies are throwing the world's biggest tantrum, and instead of holding them accountable and denouncing them for it, people are falling all over themselves to make them the fucking good guys (by some bizzro-fucking-world logic) so they can prove how fucking woke they are. The rioting will stop eventually, but the
mentality of "buildings can be replaced, the crime warrants a disproportionate response, all cops are bastards so they deserve it, people who set buildings on fire and beat the shit out of people shouldn't be punished because racism" will be sticking around for a long time.
And that scares the shit out of me, because the mentality of these people will be swaying shit politically into the future.
