Horrifying Things That Are Viewed As Normal

How little people give a shit about making sure their children grow up well-adjusted

One I never see mentioned on this site is little kids being exposed to shitty pop/nigger music on a constant basis. Over the past 15/20 years the public attitude on this changed completely, there used to be a conscious effort to shield kids from music that is overtly sexual or adult but now you have 4 year olds being taught dances to Cardi B or Lady Gaga songs like it's nothing weird at all, and a general attitude of little kids having a "right" to be regularly listening to top 40 music instead of anything appropriate for their age range.

People are now too use to ugly and useless architecture.

I think the prevalence of affluenza and the sense of entitlement that goes with it is horrifying. People in modern America don't even understand the concept of rights anymore. They don't know what rights are nor do they appreciate the ones they have. Doing whatever you want because you say so is considered freedom and anything resembling ethics, morals, responsibility, or even law and order is considered oppressive. Honestly, I find that very disturbing. Most people really are that selfish, delusional, and stupid! They think being a spoiled brat is the same as being empowered. Ironically, they destroy their own rights and the rights of others all in the name of getting whatever they want and doing whatever they want.

On the same note, it's horrifying how these same people are detached from reality. It doesn't matter what side they're on, whether they have opinions or not. They generally are content to just believe whatever mainstream media and social media tells them. They feel whatever they're told to feel. I won't say think because it's obvious that these people have abandoned any capacity for thought.

Finally, it's disturbing how these same people are also very angry and confrontational on a regular basis. Everything is a fight or argument. Everything is a hill to die on. If WWIII does break out, then I can say I have no faith in turning to my countrymen for any type of friendship or assistance. Besides being entitled and deluded, they're also pissed off and looking for a fight.

Maybe I'm just a cynical asshole, but I don't like the status quo and its close friend the vicious cycle.

Cars. Huge lumps of metal hurtling each and every way, with no one giving a second thought to how fucking dangerous they are. I mean obviously modern day society could not exist without them but they are still terrifying to think about if you examine them critically.
The same goes for planes but less so because they are highly engineered against going wrong and they are not really an everyday usage item.

Might as well be the first to say this one:

Troonism, the 'sport' of preying on people to convert to troonism, appropriating every fucking loosely related word to claim it was ACKSHUALLY a transphobic slur (IE traps, shemales etc), the profits pharmaceuticals make off of these idiots, the grooming of children into the troon cult, how transgenderism was once just another part of lgbt but has been hijacked by mentally ill men.

And it's only getting worse.

And the further the right alienates kids with gender issues the worse it'll get. Both parties are working towards a common goal and most of you morons are too busy sucking Republican cock to see it.

Blacks gangbanging, abandoning their children, doing drugs etc. and being rewarded for it.

That people are worried over culture war short strokes like troons and seeing genitals far more than how many people get away with robbing us blind in terms of money and resources. Bernie Madoff and the like.

Televangelists, Pokemane, DarkSydePhil, LowTierGod, NFT rugpulls, those things worry me far more than some troon teacher.

Simping for Pokemane or DSP is entirely voluntary. Forcing kids to adhere to Trans ideology or face punishment from school officials isn’t. That’s the difference. Big investment firms like Blackrock would be a good example though.

Chemical dependencies would be mine. Half the people I know are on some sort of mind altering drug.

Still a con job IMO.

Giving kids a warped idea or taking away people's resources? Sorry, I'm gonna get madder at the latter.

Big investment firms like Blackrock would be a good example though.

Or Nestle or Haliburton or Enron.

We're on a giant rock hurtling around a giant constant nuclear explosion at 10s of thousands of mph in a giant void where even the closest objects to us are so far away most people can't even really fathom it without consulting math.

Nursing homes, and the general practice of leaving your parents to rot. My grandparents live in a nursing home two hours away from their whole family. They do have friends in the town who visit occasionally, but my aunt is the only one who can visit regularly. My cousin moved away, and doesn't really have any contact with the family, let alone our grandparents. There's only so many days the average person can make a four-hour road trip. I'm trying to go once every two weeks and phone regularly, but I'm guilty of this too.

Nursing homes are so deeply unsettling that it's hard to work up any motivation to go. Every time I go in the halls, there's at least one person who's either completely lost their mind and can only moan while staring at me with blank eyes, or someone who's begging me to help them, but can't explain what they need. After a while you learn to just ignore these people, because there's nothing I can do that will help them. I've seriously considered breaking people out of there. Having to wear masks and face shields doesn't help either. "Fortunately" Grandpa is forgetful enough that I can break protocol and hug him without risking a ban from the building. That's not hyperbole either, I know someone who couldn't see their grandparents for a few months because they hugged and were deemed to be spreading the virus. Of course, in my country everyone was completely forbidden from visiting for a while anyways.

This is a good nursing home too, everyone there is extremely caring and means well, it's the system as a whole that has problems. The concept of euthanasia is utterly abhorrent, but I think it can go the other way as well. In the name of health we're keeping people alive far past the point where it makes sense. I've been told point blank by plenty of older people that they'd much rather die horribly of covid surrounded by family than live in isolation. Great evil can be done in the name of healing. C.S. Lewis said it best:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."

How little people seem to care about politeness and good manners anymore.

I don’t mean we should all act like some Stepford Wife straight out of a 1950’s sitcom, but it amazes me just how nasty and rude people seem to be anymore and it’s normalized by the public.

These two things are closely correlated.

Troonism is a way for transhumanism to go mainstream. Transhumanism IS genocide and thought control.

Fat acceptance, the whole "body positive" movement. It's a load of delusional, self-indulgent horseshit.

I remember when Mcdonald's made a big thing about getting rid of most of their polystyrene containers because people were throwing them out of car windows. It didn't stop the fast food wrapper trash at all. Just cut down on the polystyrene. People still throw fry cartons, cups and wrappers all over the place.

Trash in general just being thrown really gets to me. Last summer I saw a lady and her kids just throw freeze pop tubes and a glass bottle on the ground just feet away from a solar compactor. The glass bottle hit a cab tire and the lady actually ran back to apologise. Well at least she wasn't a total barbarian.

I don't understand why people throw trash out of car windows. It's not going to kill you to keep it in a bag until you get to a trash can.

Where I live there's a lot of illegal dumping. We have municipal pickup yet people insist on dumping trash bags and old furniture anywhere they want. We even had someone dumb a whole bunch of boxes in our trash last year. Once a lot of people start doing it everyone thinks it's ok.

The blame for plastic waste needs to be laid at the companies that produce it, and they have spent years trying to deflect it. It is horrifying that we all have plastic in our bloodstream in some capacity now and we are just beginning to find out the ill effects.

Until you can prove to me how a man in a dress is going to thought control or kill me, I'm going to care more about people bilking us out of billions of dollars.

It's even worse than that; we've elevated rudeness and acting like a shithead to a virtue. "Keeping it REAL"

Social media was a massive mistake.
