everything feels so oppressive and stressful today

wdym i cant go out how i want because someones worldview crumbles when a biological boy puts on a tank top in summer?

i dont know how much i can vent about because of the "no politics/religion" rule
it just feels like we do the same cycle, to be formed into perfect puppets for the system until we inevitably "short circut" and fall into a "deep blue sea"

im sick of people hating on others for a minor diffrence like language, nationality, skincolor or identity. At the end of it all, arent we all still humans? arent we all Homosapiens?
it feels like we humans have lost the right of free expression in todays age and we just pretend like we have the right to do everything we want

idk if i can phrase it any better nor explain it as good as i would want to:

Personality trait (i think main missunderstanding lies here as i made an error in my phrasing here):

people with dissabilities like autism
lgbt

i want to emphatise that i dont think that these are personallity traits! I didnt find the word for what i wanted to say but it has something to do with personality

na but jokes aside there have to be certain laws and orders for a functioning and safe society

Like the thing is youre tired of hate which is a good thing but this is one of the adverse caveats of free speech like u got the freedom of speech to express yourselves but the other person also has the freedom of speech to shit talk youand hate you and lets say u try to supress hate at the end of the day that policing free speech and any governement can use that against you if thats the case .

I am here with you on this . As an American - Indian I get hate for being indian and american both online and offline dude like listen like ignoring the haters shows and builds character which is very important for any person so ya . Like dude stay with the ppl who like and ignore haters dude . Like this part might sound a bit too harsh but you also dont need to poke your nose into everything and you gotta sometimes stay in your lane .

btw I am sry for being a shithole in that other post

yeah no i kinda phrased that wrong
1st point:
free speech allows everyone to speak their mind and thats good. the problem is that often, Children cant form their own opinion and thous adopt it from their surroundings
which means around the "wrong" person, a child might adopt the opinion (THESE ARE ALL EXAMPLES! I DONT AGREE WITH ANY OF THEM):

Lgbtq is wrong
immigration is wrong
etc...

and that is where i see the issue, not letting a child form their own opinions
and the media is not helping, it is more so helping, turning a child more hateful towards certain things

2nd point:
"the best response to a fool is silence"
ever heard of that quote?
it is quite flawed since silence makes the "fool" think that they are correct
ignoring hate is always an option, yes, i mean thats how i got the bullying to stop
but if we all stay silent and let the "fools" loudly spread their negative view to others, what then? do we fall into a society ruled by hate and fear?
where the minoritys become supressed again?
hate can be ignored but it can lead to further sorrow

The thing is ppl who have stopped looking ppl with differening views as just ppl they see each other as rivals like ppl have stopped realising that they share more in common with their neighbour than the billionaire who owns the damn media corporation .

If the fools start spreading more negative you gotta be brave and do the same and point out their wrong doings and hypocrisy. I dont agree with some of the things Charlie Kirk says but irrespective of your political agenda you gotta agree on this statement .

“When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens; when civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group. What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have a reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option.”

where the minoritys become supressed again?
hate can be ignored but it can lead to further sorrow
this is a very powerful statement my guy I cannot come up with an answer to this part of your question but ya I tried my best

is that really a quote from Kirk? if so then damm, used his last bit of common sense on that quote
on the statement i made:
even i cant quite clear it up
thats the thing about philosophy: everyone has their own train of thought and asks themselves questions they cant answer
so yeah, no worry that you were unable to come up with an answer
the message means to me:
"if we stand back and watch from the sidelines while the world tears it self apart, when do we ask ourself: what could i have done to prevent this"?

exactly like rn its in two polar opposites there is no true centrist
like
Left - Only face policies and their only economic policy is taxing the rich which if we look at data that does not work

Right - Too focussed on Israel like for me the Israel issue on the right is equivalent to the trans issue on the left like aint no way like my taxpayer money should go to fucking israel or trans ppl's surgeries .

Like I dont like war but I dont need to educate myself abt something which directly affects me

like did u see that one pic of the texas mayor having 5 israel flags around his seats .

Like imo why do ppl vote for someone based off of issues which are happeneing in the other side of the world .

Like if I wanna be honest both suck dick equally right now

okay wait hang on gamer

i support trans rights, but i agree with your point that people like kamala positioning trans stuff as a tenet of their campaign was troll in the same way people like cuomo were so pro-israel - these kinds of people are very out of touch with what the broad swaths of voters care the most about

and imo the "true centrist" today are all of the boomers still in government who are trying to preserve our one-party state (e.g. chuck schumer making his goons vote against continued government shutdown instead of himself). so it's nice to see some successful pushbaack against that from younger people

I support trans rights too but that doesnt mean I will fund their surgeries or their life choices like I am not super deep into politics unless its economy related so ya

but I think the centrist arent the guys who are still in the government I think the guys in office are very towards the right not radical right but ya

To me a centrist is a person who is the literal middle ground between the current situation between the radicals in both parties

I mean I fully disagree on socialism we have 100+ yrs of data of it not wroking the only place it has worked is india which is a psedo capitalist- socialist economy .

ya abt that like the left talk abt sweden or scandanavian countries as perfect countries but uk when the right made the snap changes where u gotta work 80 hrs/month to avail benefits why is the left so mad abt that and also they are capitalist countries btw .

Tbh Imo that choice thing should be based off of income like if ur well off / make good money like you prolly wont need snap benefits so ya you get health care premiums and the ppl who dont make that much money get both so ya .

Tf does the flair gotta do with all this

what type of argument is that

I'm saying that college is literally free here in germany you cant choose a shit degree because you have the freedom to just drop out and choose another one

also wdym "most sectors in EU have failed" ?

higher cost of living vs expenses is hard to compare when some ppl are too scared to call an ambulance or just get thousand of dollars in debt because they live in unfortunate circumstances.

For the top 10% earners the US is prolly better but there are a lot of flaws especially with how to handle those in need

(also im not saying that a free market is bad but rather there needs to be some type of regulation that billionaires dont just take control of every sector. Billionaires getting another billion may boost the gdp but how much does the country really profit from that?)

(warning : I made this a fucking research paper just to prove my point)
no my arguement is if ur paying for college should u do some research and find your interests before you choose a degree imo thats the most responsible thing to do .

In germany its free but to my knowledge in other countries its not like in the UK top school charge 20k/yr or more

From what I know the tech sector in EU has completely failed except for germany
I dont think the financial sector is doing well
Like every year I in the US, India, Japan or Singapore I hear abt an insane startup which is doing very well and has changed the lives of many ppl or giving many ppl jobs .

Dont you think the entitlement policies like free college , free healthcare which ppl have to pay for , innovation has been driven away yes innovation might not always helping you in your life but it can give so many other ppl jobs and other ppl might find their products helpful.

You are exagerrating thr numbers quite a bit the top 45% in the US makes 75k/year after taxes that is 55k to 60k depending on the state . I asked ChatGPT to categorise all the major US cities based off of comfortability and the definition of comfort being paying all the necessary bills like insurance , utiities and groceries , eat out once a week and spend 100USD , car payments (including gas), invest a little here and there and go on vacation once/year is what it said

If ur a renter (1BHK apartment)(all major cities btw)
1)you live a very comfortable life in 35-40/75
2)you live a moderately comfortable life in 15-20/75
3)you live a tight but doable life in 10-12/75
4)you live a hard life in 6-8/75
5)you live a nearly impossible lifestyle in 2-3/75

and if ur on a morgage(the typical american home btw not an apartment)
1)you live a very comfortable life in 25-35/75
2)you live a moderately comfortable life in 15-19/75
3)you live a tight but doable life 10-12/75
4)you live a hard life in in 6-8/75
5)you live a nearly impossible lifestyle in 2-3/75

ok the top 5 guys in your sector naturally you will become a billionaire especially a consumer based economy like america
It profits the country more than u think while not being as direct as you think like you need that billionaire to get that extra billion with that extra billion naturally the margins will be higher and if the margins keep increasing each quarter they will bring in more investors and they can then use the money to pivot to new projects which adds more jobs to the job market .
and even lets say a person is a real estate billionaire he will use most of that billion to buy real estate same with the venture capitalist billionaire
which contributes to ppls lifestyles and more employment

This might sound like a dumb arguement but its not whats a common man gonna do with 1 billion prolly spend it all atleast when a billionaire has a billion he will put it to good use . Like so many ppl when they win lotteries burn away lots of money cuz they didnt gain it themselves . When is the u last time you heard a billionaire lose all his money away from gambling I have not but how many times have u seen a common man gamble all his lottery winnings / bonuses a lot so ya .

sry for a literal research paper but I wanted to make my point clear

There's too much hate and not enough acceptance. That's not something to be ashamed of thinking, that's a fact.
One of the biggest reasons for this is social media - if you dislike a particular thing, for example, you'll be able to find other people that dislike that thing and fall into an echo chamber, exacerbating your dislike until it turns to hatred. This doesn't apply to just hating gas-powered cars and SEN, it extends to politics and race.
As long as people continue to hide inside these chambers the situation you're describing won't improve. Society as a whole needs to come together and actually listen to other people, not outright deny them. I don't care if you hate Sentinels or adore them, nor do I care what beliefs you have. Every single issue needs to not be held as uncontestable, no matter which side you are on.

As a side note, some of my most masculine guy friends wear tank tops in the summer, no one calls them gay, it actually shows off their muscles. Maybe coming to Canada would be better :)

ego

something very important to our survival and boosting the chances of survival back in the day

Empathy and understanding to a degree that would be great is extremely rare nowadays. Ppl will stay stuck with their idelogical views of the world which is often times taught by parents or school. My take is that the ego of human beings is the reason for most negative things in the world. Don't feed into negative headlines broski. We have lower death rates, higher expectancy of life, higher level of education, (although it might not seem like it) more democracy in the world, the world will have hiccups and not everything will go smoothly. But I believe in the general good. And maybe we shouldnt just point the fingers at others and say THEY are doing the bad things but rather confront with empathy and understanding instead of alienating ideologies and life experiences. That is true for every side of the discussion. its not us and them but we're all part of the same picture...
