The more comments I read on Youtube, Facebook, Reddit and Twitter, the less I sleep and the more I risk a stroke. Idk how you manage going through all that crap
The more you realize it’s just kids and emotionally immature adults having performative cruelty contests the better off you’ll be. In a way, it’s liberating to be a communist in a time like this. No need to constantly puke up, rehash and then consume again the same shitty, edgy, racist or purposefully inciteful bullshit.
All though, I deleted certain social media. Some are just straight up playground telephones with a fascist on the other end. You can probably guess which ones, lol.
Indeed, although it’s their numbers, especially irl, that I find disheartening sometimes. Like, I interact with plenty of decent people too, but reactionaries are always the most outspoken and seen as the most authoritative in the circles I’m in (mostly work related). At the end of the day, their opinions fit in the discourse space allowed by the MSM, so they don’t come across as crazy, and they tend to be more career focused and therefore 1) the impression of work competency carries over in other areas, and 2) they spend less time exploring other areas of life like politics, and they are, like you pointed out, immature adults.
this is my experience too. Our CEO likes to come into any political discussion with his libbrained straight from snl and msnbc programmed opinions and talk over everyone else. Then people either agree or just shut up because it’s not worth losing an income over
I think the matter at hand is regardless of the views of the executive/“superior” it’s that they’re in a higher level above you doing fuck-all so they’re probably going to talk over you regardless. The only executive I ever met was visiting at the nursing home I worked at that was already falling apart, defunded, etc and the fucker had the gall to walk up to his minimum wage lackey putting in ceiling tiles and go “Oh man, I remember when I had to do that too!”. Slip of the hand and a huge chunk of ceiling dust, tile shredding and German cockroaches and their shit (was a shithole) fall out of the ceiling on both of us when the tile splits in half. Was gross but worth it.
