No need to read this drivel unless you’re curious lol

God I don’t know even where to begin. This is such a complicated arena to navigate without sounding like a hypocrite l, but I guess I’ll try. Not sure if it’s safe to say at this at this point or I am deep in an echo chamber, but it seems like most of the “town square” elements have flocked online. It really does seem utterly dystopian to me that even our ability to broadcast ourselves from our little rectangles into a blackbox is carefully monitored.

But Godamn I know of a lot of people who do their own version of “broadcasting into the void” be it posting on whatever social media site, venting to their therapist, uber driver, bartender, hairdresser, it’s all the same- valid discussion sure but not changing anything.

Not saying you can individually attack system problems, but it seems like we’re stuck in a never ending cycle of self-fulfilling prophecies (this might be where the neurodivergence kicks in because I am extremely results driven and structure oriented ) yet that seems impossible to find. I guess the rub is (and not sure if people know this) that making a dent of change would result in doing something to make yourself uncomfortable

Point I was trying to make (to who? Idk): Americans complain and complain about systemic injustices (me included) but are never willing to do anything about these injustices because doing so would be sacrificing their comfort
