BeanpolePeckerwood: May 4, 2004; I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK

Screaming Idiot posted:

The thing is that billionaires don't think like normal people. You and I see money as a means to an end, to pay bills, buy groceries, and to purchase the things that make life bearable. Billionaires, however, see money as a means to exert power and influence over others, to change the world to fit their worldview. Monetary worth, they argue, is personal worth.

They're sociopaths. Their way of thinking is both inhuman and very human -- they see people as resources to increase their wealth, and thus their own value. They are parasites, accruing the fruits of the labor of "lesser" men and contributing nothing of their own. This is not rhetoric. This is not theory. This is reality. I guarantee that the sixteen-year-old making sandwiches at McDonalds is doing more work in a single shift than Elon Musk does in an entire week.

I say this pretty often but it's actually way less rational than that. Billionaires are engaged in worship to Mammon. They are true believers in the madness of capital, it's their faith. None of it has to make sense in terms of humanism or morality or interpersonal power relations.

At work I take big breaks and I always hide in the bathroom for at least 25 minutes a shift.

You're only sticking it to yourself here and reinforcing the paradigm of corporate nullification which indirectly demands that someone spend more energy performing the soul deadening task of pretending to work than they would simply working at something humane, decent, and hands-on.

Work can be fulfilling, but not if a person is unable to find pride in what they're doing.

So I've been mainlining this thread, a bunch of other politics threads, news websites, and vodka. I have come to the conclusion that the only sane thing to do in the coming years will be to eventually take my own life, and I need to put plans in motion so as to leave as little as possible for my friends and family to manage.

Can someone suggest a painless and inexpensive way out? Thanks in advance, fellas.

here is a thought

you don't know what is going to happen "in the coming years" and anyone who claims that they do is an arrogant fool. you take the good with the bad and deal with each day as it comes just like everyone else is because when it comes down to it we're all making poo poo up as we go as we're bounced around in both expected and unexpected ways

some might think this is nihilism but it is more about accepting your limitations and your place in the cosmos and focusing on what small things you can do rather than focusing on everything you cant do. positive actions undertaken by you, no matter how small or inconsequential they might appear, are still ways of prodding the giant blob of chaos we call existence in a better direction

Person A donates to charities and helps the people they can. They also follow the world news religiously and cry over every war and atrocity that happens somewhere they can't ever hope to anything about. They're causing themselves real and serious mental damage doing this.

Person B also donates to charities and helps the people they can. They don't give a gently caress about what happens in the world.

Both of these people have the exact same impact on the world, but person A is much more likely to have crippling depression.

And no, yelling on the internet has no impact on anything.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but helping something is entirely contingent on caring about the world my dude.

Rick and morty is some effective brain poison and it's directly making fun of the dorks that identify with it.

Cartoons are for children. Also it's cool if you don't understand what I said. Meanwhile I'm a pretty happy dude and you're yelling at people online for not sharing your worldview. :shrug:

If you haven't, read the book 'Man's Search for Meaning' by Viktor Frankl. He survived Auchwitz and his whole family being killed in the camps.

Half of the book is his first-person perspective of surviving Auchwitz, the second half is the philosophy of life he formulated from the experience. Later in life he even became a therapist for other survivors of the death camps. His work is part of the foundation of modern cognitive behavioral therapy, the best treatment devised for depression so far.

It put my own problems into perspective. I highly recommend it.
