the vast majority of people are indifferent
maybe they'll dress in black and go to an antifa event one weekend to own nazis
but they really don't care
nobody is indifferent
it's something to artificially make it seem like your life isn't entirely boring and pointless
they are thoroughly biased on questions regarding their own lives
but in our alienated and industrial society, we have been led to believe that politics is separate from that
Go up to most people, especially younger and ask their beliefs
If they have any, they likely don't even know why
when politics and their lives inevitably come together, they quickly develop beliefs
they'll give a talking point they heard a thousand times and immediately cave
most people, living in an alienated society
a world of factories, of steel, of commodities
in this world, there is no use for beliefs
beliefs don't put food on the table
manifestos don't bring health insurance
but when that world starts to crack, to shear
beliefs become the difference between life and death, and our souls find life once more
people will just believe what the pack around them does
sometimes, but often not
various reasons
Some people are mental, some use it as a tool to spread manifestos and beliefs, martyrdom
some people may just wanna kill a bunch of others
nah
it's a product of alienation
lashing out against a constantly intensifying claustrophobia
we're trapped, pinned, caged
more and more people are realising that, and they react in different ways
depression rates, skyrocketing
I'm sure alienation is a factor
mass shooting rates, skyrocketing
bipolar rates, skyrocketing
I imagine it goes deeper than that though
suicide rates, skyrocketing
alienation is incredibly deep
our personal autonomy has been robbed from us
and that kind of thing affects people
we've taken such horrific concepts as 'mid life crisis' and normalised them totally
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'
it's an atrocity
