I appreciate the concise description of your worldview, but what of it? People still have to survive, and inescapable despair is really not a good tool for that.
It's one thing to state a premise, but they're usually expected to be accompanied by conclusions.
- aphinity 9y agoI can only offer such views within the context of this particular article, to make the point that not all those wallowing in misery should dwell on instrospection, when there is a tidal force of nature beyond the individual drenching a broader collective in misery, for reasons beyond most anyone's control. Even if you win the war with yourself, you'll still have an entire world to confont, but at least most of the problem wasn't even you to begin with. So at least there's that?
- hl5 9y agoOne conclusion could be that inescapable despair is an indicator of globalized psyops. Depressed individuals will rationalize overspending.
- ShabbosGoy 9y agoIt isn't so much psyops as it is the consequence of the very specific brand of Asian capitalism that dominates the world today. One need only look to South Korea or Japan in order to realize that the United States is on the very same trajectory.
