I have no future. Nobody does. Everyone knows it. Liberalism has fucking murdered any chances of future prospects for any of us.
Sometimes i'll find the energy to go out and try and meet people. I get nowhere because everyone is either depressed or an outright fascist. You can't even go out to meet people any more because of perpetual plagues, and the online space is full of grifting apps designed to fuck you.
Even if I did find someone, then what? Nobody wants to have kids, and get a home? Nope, that's only for rich investors who have no intention on living in them, or corporate landlords who want to fuck you up the ass and turn you into a Maoist. Jobs? "Nobody wants to work" more like nobody wants to hire. "Now Hiring" signs everywhere but impossible requirements or unlivable wages. They'd rather just farm the government for 'we can't find employees:(((' handouts. Don't say it isn't happening, that's literally what my last job did, and it's not just them; everyone does it. You have to do it to be competitive in this garbage economy.
I'm watching my local town gentrify in real time. Rents are going up, food is going up, forests are being cut down to build more fucking suburbs. What was once a community of diverse peoples is slowly turning into oops all white liberals because they're the only ones who can afford to live here anymore. And you want to know the best part? Nothing is being done about it. The more we cry we need help the more the government responds with more fucking liberalism. People worried about the environment? Redistrict to "lower" emissions. People want more homes? Did I hear rental properties? More rental properties that nobody can afford!! Affordable housing? Sure, have some slums. Indigenous reparations? How about business courses instead! Poor/mentally sick? Now you can legally kill yourself.. if you don't do it yourself because mental health hotlines literally run for profit and sell your data to evil corporations. Like holy shit I can't even begin to get into just how fucked things are.
Sure we're not the states which is literally death-sliding into fascism, but being marginally better than pure evil is still really fucking shitty.
EDIT: Also we can't even retreat to the internet to escape any more, because everything is either shutting down or turning into nazi bars. Corporations have so much control over the public consciousness and they use it to suppress socialist voices and protect actual pedophiles. Social media feels so fucking fake between all the artificial users, ads, astroturf, narcissist-posting and widespread censorship it exposes us to.
EDIT2: And i'll add another one: you can't even be fucking real with people anymore because the instant you show any level of weakness or honesty there's always one scum of the earth (yes this shit is even worse in real life) who will jump to punish you for opening up.

You're gonna need to do a little more self-reflection there bud before you go blaming others.

I think it depends on what instance you are on, but thanks for the info.
It shouldn't make a difference which instance you are on, but a lot of the aps do formatting incorrectly.
Good human markdown bot
Ugh I should have blocked you on that last comment of yours that made me raise an eyebrow. God fucking damn it useless troll.
For those at the back, i'm talking about people who are literal supporters of actual Hitler ideology.
He might have been talking about the depressed part...
Nah I had my eyes on that guy before, that's not what they were insinuating.
Well now I blocked them too so your post did some good in the world
