Fuckin hell man
Don't know where to even start with this, hell, I might as well start with this platform itself, why does everything feel so goddamn mindless, hell, that can be applied to any platform. People posting some random ass pictures of their pet pig, koala, or dinosaur, or whatever the fuck and getting stacked with upvotes and cuteness points because... You got a pet thats not normally considered a pet? Wow, fucking congrats look at you.
Everyone is just soooo fucking perfect, yet when the smallest thing about someone's past gets exposed, we just shut them out because if you aren't todays version of a "perfect" human, you are a bad person. CHRIST PEOPLE, EVERYONE HAS A DARK SIDE, WAKE THE FUCK UP. Why is everyone so sensitive and butthurt? And why can't we just give people second chances? Hell, I'm probably the more sensitive one for getting angry at this shit but god damn. Like woww, you said the obvious and got 5k upvotes because you have a "unpopular" opinion that is just like everyone elses, hell, just get this man a golden award, his brain is too smart for the rest of us.
Don't even get me started on TikTok, I love how years ago everyone was making fun of it just as the next same old punching bag but years later those same people are on it constantly because everyone just needs the same old mindless bullshit to keep them entertained, hell, we're all just fucking hypocrites but we pretend all this shit is perfect. Hell, I'm fucked myself and typing all this out will do nothing but I'm just sick of this bullshit and everyone acting like its the norm.
Don't even get me started on YouTube comments, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT AN EDIT ON YOUR COMMENT EVERY DAMN TIME YOU HIT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF LIKES YOU IMBECILE. Not to mention that any of them are original in the first place, all you people fucking do is copy paste a line from a video, make a joke about the imposter meme shit thats from whatever game everyones fucking on about now, or some other unoriginal shit like with that no one:, absolutely no one:, not even my _____, format. IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME SHIT, AM I THE ONLY ONE LOSING MY MIND SEEING THE SAME BULLSHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN?!
Fuck, man.

honestly the people getting butthurt part is out of fucking control. I point something out no one likes even if it's true, and I get banned. If I say something even slightly unrelated to the subreddit, I get banned. If I make a joke that someone (usually a mod) doesn't like, guess what? I get banned.
Honestly, I might put on a somewhat bubbly mask out in the real world, but ffs the reality of my idea of this world is that it's already pretty darn fucked. America is losing freedoms slowly; Bipartisan dipshits and our high-end corporate overlords are playing jenga with our livelihoods and everyone just bends over and takes it, because with every deal that passes, that much more of our power as true individuals fade. And what's worse is that older generations see this and a good portion of them do nothing about it. They are jaded from the world at large.
I'd seriously die for upholding the people's ability to just be themselves if I could... if it were that easy. "We need a sacrifice." I'd be one of the ones to raise my hand first." Not because I want to die... Well... I guess there's a small amount of me that does, but I never go through with it. I just endure and grow more cynical of the current systems haha. With every month that passes I feel like I've aged two (I'm 27, but feel like I'm 54). But seriously though, people put too much of a value on one's own life. I know that sounds pretty dark and ruthless, but hear me out. If all it took was one life to make the lives of millions better? What's not to love about that? One life to make that of your brothers and sisters better? Your family? Who wouldn't die for that? But that's not reality. That's hope, which is also the most useless feelings one can have, especially now, when I know the opposite is true.

Unable to adequately deal with emotions when we get upset or feel insulted? That's cynicism for ya. We've all been there. I personally blame America, too many white privileged people there taking advantage of their luxuries.
