23. incessant propaganda resulting in mass sociopathy.

Sun Dec 15, 2024, 09:34 AM

Dec 15

the baseline, lowest hanging fruit or common denominator, is racism. Welcome to my theory.

Malaise, they literally believe lies, some of which are laughable.

having said all that, I will never get it either, and I don't want to. I care about people, that's who I am. I refuse to lose myself for this fuckery. Which given my age is probably going to continue for the rest of my life and beyond.

My brother is one of them. I have daydreams where I ask him where did he go, who the fuck is he? When did he stop caring about people?! In my fantasy my words fall on him like a pail of ice water and he actually hears me and a change occurs. He is ashamed. He starts to think for himself once again. I know, of course, this will never happen.

I am waiting until my sister passes (Alzheimers) to make a complete break. My heart breaks too, but he is toxic, and basically an enemy. This shit sucks entirely.
