What they've done to "trauma" is downright unforgivable.

If you watched your best friend's face disappear into a pulpy red mist because an artillery shell landed near your foxhole, you're allowed to have trauma. If someone made you go to a work event you did not want to go to, you do not have trauma; you are just socially maladjusted and you deserve every bad thing that will ever happen to your fragile, trooned-out-ass.

Sometime in the late 90s, early 2000s, society decided that whoever could "feel the most" had the most valid feelings, as if the only valid response to having feelings was to immediately vomit them all over the public sphere and anyone who refused to do so was repressed and no longer deserving of consideration. That's why reddit is always going on about how things "make them feel sick" or how they "couldn't stop crying". Needless to say, this is not how the real world functions and if you have been getting by being an emotional vampire, the people who claim to care the most about your feelings don't care about you at all and are only pretending to relate to your (fake) pain as a stand-in for actually being a good person with empathy.

The standard redditor's way of emotionally relating to the world is damn near is BPD-level, and if we collectively decide that that's what we want to value the most in society, we deserve to be overtaken by the Chinky roach people.

Ironically enough what you describe is actually a credit to our capitalist society that these people are allowed to wallow in self-pity all day and not starve to death. It's a result of our prosperity as a nation that these fools can sit on their asses and do nothing but complain about their feelings all day. You don't see too much of that in real Socialist/Communist societies.

I won't give you guys meaningless sob story shit about my life, but I actually do have PTSD and a major misconception is that it results from one particularly sharp, negative, event. Somebody in an abusive household for example is probably not going to have one moment that made it "click", and most of the events that are at the root of their later problems at the time seemed extremely normal and mundane. Every event you live through, good or bad, leaves a mark on you. It might not be a particularly noticeable one, it might not be one others know about, you may not have even been the target. But it still sticks around in the back of your head, and the most random moments you can think of it'll come crawling its way to the front of it. Everybody has their own unique experience of suffering. "Trauma" isn't just "I saw my best friend get gelded by a midget in tijuana and nobody helped"

Same time we have a shit understanding of mental illness as a culture. There's this idea people such as myself have no autonomy. Like I'm handicapped or something, and that the only "solution" is to manage this with pills. I'm fucked up and deranged, but no, I am not handicapped. I think for a lot of zoomer kids who grew up overmedicated and overdiagnosed this kind of ideology (created by big pharma in the 80's by the way) is validating. Because being young fucking sucks and the world fucking sucks and people fucking suck so it's comforting to just sink into an attitude of "lol, guess I'm broken!" and turn it into an affect you can use to escape whenever reality gets too real. Actually learning to heal from all this is very, very, painful process of actually trying to understand the roots of your issues and finding ways to approach them constructively. This does not mean enabling every single negative emotion you have and using it as an excuse to be a selfish twat.

A lot of people don't actually want to be happy. Because being happy takes work and some humility.

That being said, anti-mask mandates enforced by law are right-wing virtue-signalling for no other purpose than to own the libtards and their libtarded mask mandates.

If someone feels safer wearing a mask, just let them do it, just as we don't need laws outright banning sleeve protectors, even if they look ridiculous and few people wear them.

LMAO, this dude is a literal Branch Covidian, he's going to tell his employers and the government that he literally venerates "pandemic" restrictions. This subreddit is like a right-wing parody of the left, no wonder they had such a good time on Fox News.

That's not an anti-mask mandate, that's a private business telling their employees not to wear masks. It's no different than making your employees wear a uniform or saying they can't wear fifty piercings on their face while at work. Masks are disgusting and wearing one all day makes it a very good vector of disease for both the wearer and other people.

Most actual anti-mask mandates are actually to protect worker's rights (and consumers' rights) by saying employers and businesses can't force people to wear a mask inside, which is absolutely justified because with few exceptions (like public nudity or a religious building) enforcing a dress code is unconstitutional.

As someone that has lived and worked in Japan, where wearing a mask in public is very common after the bird flu pandemic that the west generally missed, it's so odd to me that Americans get their masks so dirty. Do they never wash or replace them?

Unless you're replacing them every hour, which is more or less the best practice for N95 masks, they're going to be dirty and bacteria-filled. Washing them also won't eliminate mold spores from cloth masks unless the water is boiling.

my favorite thing about the r/antiwork subreddit was that there was an actual group in there that only employers to stop treating people like shit and every fucking time they got downvoted by WELL AKSHULLY WE DONT NEED WORK AT ALL and the trannies would dogpile them

The schism will probably not fix this either. The new sub is governed by literal bankers.

India can be decent for the upper middle class like him. The average Indian makes 2000 USD a year so yeah, his 28,000 USD (after currency conversion) is alot.

What? Upper middle class? Yeah. He's wealthy by that countries standard and is happy that he gets basics. Millions of Indians live hand to mouth and there are riots when the price of onions go up by a penny.
Being rich also doesn't protect you from the crowding, noise, street poop, etc.

If the antiwork movement was slightly less retarded, they'd be anti-immigration, and support drastically raising work visa minimum salaries. We've got millions of new graduates every year who struggle to find jobs and some Indian who lies on his resume gets a job instead. Basic supply and demand. The idiots and troons especially won't ever comprehend that though. The White Man's Burden leftists have is funny in that way.

There was this video a few years ago I clicked on YouTube. It was full of socialist types. Packed full. Many of the comments spoke of "they're so close to the solution, it's funny" regarding why people were complaining about the economy already in shambles, why not many local people can get jobs, they lose jobs, etc. These morons were smugly (which they will always deny said smug) declaring that socialism was the cure all.

It's frustrating because they're so detached from reality that they can't fathom or admit that they're a large reason why the economy is so fucked.

Corporations love them because they have such detrimental ideas to the very people they're supposed to be "helping". Executives get richer with shit like cheap labor, and eventually, everything goes tumbling down.

Is it some kind of mental disease?
