I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.
Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.
#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain
Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"
I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
growing up traveling frequently by car/bus through new jersey predisposed me to degrowth eco-maoism because its truly such a desolate destroyed settler colonial landscape of endless highways with half vacant strip malls and invasive plants, it epitomizes how ugly and alienated the society that created it is
you can experience life altering devastating emotion and then your cat will throw up next to you & look at you like does this help ?
all the talk of third spaces and walkable cities and so on and so on really is terminology that intellectualizes a very simple reality which is that people want to live instead of just existing. And the concept that life shouldn't be completely miserable is so counter to existence in the USA that we have to pretend that these are debatable policies instead of extremely necessary fundamentals to a functioning society

Right, so I hope everything gets so expensive that you can’t afford anything ever again. Since you like it so much.
I made that post so long ago I forgot what it was about but yup just reread it and. Oh it was about people who complain about the price of gas also needlessly wasting it by dangerously speeding and leaving their car idling for no reason, and also turning their noses up at public transit. Yeah I still stand by that.
Anyways my garden looks amazing this year 💐

erika kirk being handed the golden opportunity to be the face of conservatives for the rest of her life and then fumbling it instantly by being genuinely unlikable and off-putting will always be funny to me almost as funny as remembering that charlie kirk got shot in the neck and died
