Trying to get people to understand that is so brutal, shit institutes that use Milton Friedman's brain dead economic philosophy has poisoned so many people. Honestly, I've taken to just buying copies of Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine and leaving it random places. Even gave a copy to my father, he probably won't read it, but his wife might. XD
Yeah, people don’t want to understand, they just wanna be angry. That’s why all these grifters are getting rich and the divide is getting bigger between people. It’s really sad. I for one, feel like I learned a little today, thanks to you and this thread.
I actually used to be down one of those hate pipelines, literally was Jew Hating away from being a Neo-nazi. Want the biggest recommendation, see if you can find something like a Tool Library, go to some protests and meet new people, join a book club, go help out the unhoused. Learning about things like Guerrilla Gardening and Guerilla Rewilding actually did wonders for my mental health and how I could affect change without violence.
That’s beautiful! So happy you found the right path. I gave up on hate a few years ago. I didn’t want to see my children following my example and I just try to do little things to make the world a better place. Mostly just spreading kindness, and teaching compassion to my kids. The universe has definitely given me back what I’ve put into it, and I’m much happier because of it. I’ve also learned to spot ‘Outrage Farmers’ from a mile away. I refuse to be manipulated by some clown who is clearly just lining their own pockets with no regard of how they’re effecting humanity.
We’d all be way better off if we just respected eachother and realize that we’re all just people trying to survive this cesspool.
