Transcript: āThis might sound like a hot take, but I feel like the Internetās obsession with uniqueness is causing legitimate brain rot in some people.
Thereās no reason why something like mental illness, for example, should be turned into this commodity where you like, get internet points or social currency by being different.
Itās like, by trying to break the stigma, weāve just come full circle, where now nobody knows what the hell any of these words actually mean.
So when you explain what a panic attack is, people are like āOh, like thatās like actually really scary.ā & āNot something I just experienced when I couldnāt get Taylor Swift ticketsā.
And I know this is going to piss some people off so just brace yourself, but I see it the most in fellow white people - Especially people that are like upper-middle-class.
Look, Iām just gonna say it: whiteness gives us access to everything but oppression. Thatās the one thing we canāt colonize. So what do we do? We turn oppression into social currency - Because we know if thereās one thing we can do, itās make money off of something that doesnāt belong to us.
And before the people that grew up on a cul-de-sac start to get offended in my comments, actually listen to what Iām saying: Donāt intentionally misconstrue it because you want to be oppressed. Just be happy and lucky you arenāt.ā
