the vast majority of people are indifferent

2019-09-19 19:21:55 UTC  

maybe they'll dress in black and go to an antifa event one weekend to own nazis

2019-09-19 19:22:06 UTC  

but they really don't care

2019-09-19 19:22:34 UTC  

nobody is indifferent

2019-09-19 19:22:38 UTC  

it's something to artificially make it seem like your life isn't entirely boring and pointless

2019-09-19 19:22:49 UTC  

they are thoroughly biased on questions regarding their own lives

2019-09-19 19:23:08 UTC  

but in our alienated and industrial society, we have been led to believe that politics is separate from that

2019-09-19 19:23:10 UTC  

Go up to most people, especially younger and ask their beliefs

2019-09-19 19:23:17 UTC  

If they have any, they likely don't even know why

2019-09-19 19:23:26 UTC  

when politics and their lives inevitably come together, they quickly develop beliefs

2019-09-19 19:23:31 UTC  

they'll give a talking point they heard a thousand times and immediately cave

2019-09-19 19:23:39 UTC  

most people, living in an alienated society

2019-09-19 19:23:54 UTC  

a world of factories, of steel, of commodities

2019-09-19 19:24:37 UTC  

in this world, there is no use for beliefs

2019-09-19 19:24:43 UTC  

beliefs don't put food on the table

2019-09-19 19:24:52 UTC  

manifestos don't bring health insurance

2019-09-19 19:25:12 UTC  

but when that world starts to crack, to shear

2019-09-19 19:25:28 UTC  

beliefs become the difference between life and death, and our souls find life once more

2019-09-19 19:25:49 UTC  

people will just believe what the pack around them does

2019-09-19 19:26:52 UTC  

sometimes, but often not

2019-09-19 19:27:12 UTC  

after all, why are mass shootings continuously increasing in frequency?

2019-09-19 19:27:33 UTC  

various reasons

2019-09-19 19:28:14 UTC  

Some people are mental, some use it as a tool to spread manifestos and beliefs, martyrdom

2019-09-19 19:28:35 UTC  

some people may just wanna kill a bunch of others

2019-09-19 19:28:38 UTC  

nah

2019-09-19 19:28:42 UTC  

it's a product of alienation

2019-09-19 19:28:56 UTC  

lashing out against a constantly intensifying claustrophobia

2019-09-19 19:31:02 UTC  

we're trapped, pinned, caged

2019-09-19 19:31:13 UTC  

more and more people are realising that, and they react in different ways

2019-09-19 19:31:20 UTC  

depression rates, skyrocketing

2019-09-19 19:31:21 UTC  

I'm sure alienation is a factor

2019-09-19 19:31:25 UTC  

mass shooting rates, skyrocketing

2019-09-19 19:31:31 UTC  

bipolar rates, skyrocketing

2019-09-19 19:31:32 UTC  

I imagine it goes deeper than that though

2019-09-19 19:31:36 UTC  

suicide rates, skyrocketing

2019-09-19 19:31:42 UTC  

alienation is incredibly deep

2019-09-19 19:32:13 UTC  

our personal autonomy has been robbed from us

2019-09-19 19:32:18 UTC  

and that kind of thing affects people

2019-09-19 19:32:33 UTC  

we've taken such horrific concepts as 'mid life crisis' and normalised them totally

2019-09-19 19:33:12 UTC  

grown men suddenly wanting to kill themselves, throwing themselves into all sorts of flings and spending money lavishly in a desperate attempt to *feel* once again isn't 'just a part of life'

2019-09-19 19:33:23 UTC  

it's an atrocity
