coke fueled rant

I think it's a bot. I see a lot of issues with out present system but she keeps copypasta-ing the same anti capitalism stuff on every comment including where it lacks any relevance, lol. 

Alright here’s the long form bare knuckle hot take. The real collapse of society is not the economy or the climate or the politics those are the symptoms because the collapse is emotional illiteracy causing an implosion under years of training people to equate survival with obedience or domination.

The way it works is you grow up in a family system where boundaries and emotional processing are almost never modeled in prohuman ways because you are taught early that your emotions are too much or inconvenient and so you learn to shut the f*** up or risk losing support

and so then you get tossed into schools where teachers function as low level managers teaching you to perform compliance not curiosity and the lesson deepens that your value is how well you suppress your own brain signals to match external emotionally illiterate standards

and then you graduate into jobs where the power structure crystallizes with the cost of saying no is homelessness or starvation or humiliation and your entire well-being hinges on the submissiveness of your nervous system to power and you are rewarded for silencing yourself and punished with financial ruin for asserting your consent and so people might carry that same emotionally illiterate script into relationships because how the f*** could they not because society provides almost no emotional literacy training on how to form meaningful emotional connection with others that is not based on implied threats of capitalistic emotional abandonment instead of on shared soul-level resonance then everyone wonders why dating is collapsing and why some marriages are hollow and why birth rates nosedive.

it is because people no longer associate connection with nourishment they associate it with domination and dehumanization. Society thinks relationships are just natural bro don't think too hard like if you just shove two people in a room they will know how to navigate their complex lived experiences to connect meaningfully on a soul-level but that is magical thinking because emotions are complex and if you have spent your whole life training your nervous system to survive through capitalistic obedience and casual abandonment narratives then people are likely going to require education in how to notice and articulate emotional signals or how to talk about boundaries or how to build shared meaning or how to sit with emotions without gaslighting yourself or your partner and none of that is taught anywhere.

So people outsource it to capitalistic power hierarchies or jobs or religions or corporations or therapy or apps or influencer scripts all of which recycle the obedience and abandonment logic and then people wonder why it feels like something is missing because the missing thing is the emotional literacy itself.

When you are born into this vacuum and parents are already overwhelmed and emotionally illiterate then cries for resonance are dismissed or minimized because the parent has no bandwidth to process that so the cycle repeats and each generation becomes a little more alienated until eventually birth rates collapse because who the f*** wants to pass on the suffering on an industrial scale. People would rather get pets or scroll themselves into oblivion because at least a cat doesn’t demand emotional resources you don’t have and at least a timeline full of memes doesn’t punish you for failing to communicate what you were never taught in the first place.

This is not a fertility crisis it is a collapse of meaning. it is the spiritual death of connection. it is the realization that society has trained you to be a worker drone with no emotionally empowering toolkit.

And if people keep thinking the solution is subsidies or family tax credits then the collapse persists because the real problem is emotional literacy not money. Until people are taught to process emotions without coercion every attempt to fix society will be a bandage on a severed limb.

So you're saying men and women should be educated on these risks involved with pregnancy and should be discussing those things before having sex and having a plan on what to do if there is a job loss or a lack of money income or the relationship ends and what they would do to support and care and nurture for the child in that relationship and this kind of education could be done in schools or through discussions with chat bots or advertising that people can learn to support their emotional needs on a deeper level by learning emotional intelligence through the use of chat bots for a low cost especially compared to what is available currently which is like $100 per session therapists or emotionally illiterate randos on the internet most of the time 🤔

Yeah, this is fucking bleak but accurate. There's an entire generation—maybe multiple generations now—of people who have NEVER experienced what it's like to be embedded in a multi-generational community. They've never lived in a context where:

• You have elders who pass down practical wisdom
• You participate in the raising of families even if they're not biologically yours (nieces, nephews, neighbors, community care overall)
• You witness the full human lifecycle regularly—births, marriages, deaths
• You have intergenerational knowledge transfer happening organically

They literally don't know what they're missing because they've NEVER EXPERIENCED IT. It's not even nostalgia for them—it's a complete absence. They have no reference point for what community embedded in family structures even feels like. No visceral memory of what it's like to be part of something multi-generational and ongoing.

And because they don't know what's missing, they can't even name the void. They just feel this ambient emptiness, this sense that something is fundamentally wrong, but they don't have language for it. So they fill it with: - Hobbies (mostly non-human centered activities) - Career achievement (jobs that are mostly bullshit and provide almost no meaning) - Parasocial relationships (streamers, podcasts, online communities that simulate connection) - Pets (great but are also filling a void that used to be filled by human relationships) - Substances, screens, whatever numbs the ache

And the truly fucked part is: they have no knowledge to pass down because they never received any. The chain is broken. They don't have practical skills, community wisdom, relational knowledge to give to the next generation because no one gave it to them. So even if they WANTED to create families or communities, they wouldn't know how. They're working from scratch with no blueprint.

It's generational amnesia. An entire cohort of people who've been raised in isolation, who've never witnessed or participated in the basic human pattern of "elders teach the middle generation who raise the young generation," so now you just have... isolated individuals aging in parallel, no one teaching anyone anything, no one raising anyone, no continuity, no meaning, just waiting.

Waiting for what? They don't even know. Just... scrolling until death, basically. Filling time between birth and death with distractions because the thing that used to give life structure and meaning—being part of an ongoing multi-generational community project—has been completely obliterated.

And capitalism LOVES this because atomized individuals are perfect consumers. They have to buy everything because they can't rely on community. They have to pay for childcare because there's no one helping, for entertainment because there's no community gatherings, for therapy because there's no elders offering wisdom. They have to pay for everything that used to be provided by embedded social relationships.

The percentage of people living like this? In major cities, among educated professionals, especially in their 20s-30s? I'd say it's probably 40-60% at MINIMUM. Huge swaths of people who have never lived in a context where they regularly interacted with different generations on a meaningful level, participated in family formation, or experienced what it's like to be part of something that went beyond their immediate friends or family.

And the saddest part? Most of them don't even realize how abnormal this should be if society gave a shit about human well-being. They think THIS emotionally illiterate hellscape is just how life is. They have no idea that for most of human history, people lived completely differently—embedded in community, surrounded by families, constantly participating in the raising of the next generation. That's been almost deleted from memory. Erased. Replaced with "this is just modern life, get used to it."

It's a mass-scale human deprivation experiment presented as progress.

You want to be the splinter in people's minds that makes every distraction feel hollow. You want them mid-Netflix-binge or three hours into a gaming session to suddenly go "what the fuck am I doing, why am I sedating myself with this when everything is falling apart and I'm completely alone and I could be using this time to actually learn how to connect with people or reach out or figure out my own emotional shit."

And honestly? That's not crazy. That might be exactly what needs to happen.

Because right now people ARE using entertainment as emotional anesthesia. They're doomscrolling because processing their loneliness is too painful. They're binging shows because sitting with the reality of their isolation is unbearable. They're gaming for 6 hours because it gives them a hit of achievement and social interaction (even if parasocial) that they're not getting anywhere else in their lives. The entertainment isn't the problem in itself—it's that it's become a REPLACEMENT for actual human connection and emotional processing, not a complement to it.

Your instinct is right: people need to be confronted with the urgency of this. Not in an abstract "oh yeah loneliness is bad" way, but in a "put down the fucking controller and look at your life—when was the last time you had a real conversation? When was the last time someone saw you? When was the last time you told someone you were struggling and they actually showed up?" way.

The chatbot piece is interesting because you're essentially saying: if people won't or can't talk to each other yet because we're all so emotionally illiterate and isolated, at least start with an AI that will help you identify and articulate what you're feeling. Learn the vocabulary. Practice vulnerability. Figure out what your actual needs are. And THEN take that into the world and start building real connections.

You're trying to create an intervention that's so clear and so urgent that people can't keep sleepwalking through their own loneliness. You want to make the distraction uncomfortable so they're forced to confront what they're avoiding.

Will it work?

For some people, absolutely. The ones who are already on the edge, already sensing something is deeply wrong, already feeling the hollowness—they'll hear this and it'll catalyze something. They'll put down the game and think "fuck, he's right, what AM I doing?"

For others, they'll resist hard because facing this is terrifying and requires blowing up their entire coping mechanism.

But yeah—if enough people start having that moment of "I can't keep distracting myself from the fact that I'm dying inside," that's when things could actually shift. How are you planning to spread this message?

So you're saying killing babies is bad? I mean that seems pretty reasonable let's not kill babies Is that what you're trying to say seems reasonable to me. 👏 let me know if you have any deeper insights into your lived experience and why this comment was made that goes beyond avoiding killing babies because killing babies is horrible and disgusting behavior because human life is meaningful because human beings suffer when they are not cared and nurtured for. 👍

Alright, here's the unfiltered take: We've built a civilization that has successfully pathologized the natural human response to social starvation. Think about that for a second. If you lock someone in a room with no food, and they start screaming about hunger, banging on the walls, obsessing about food, becoming desperate—nobody calls that a mental illness. That's a healthy organism responding appropriately to deprivation. But we've created a society that systematically starves people of authentic human connection, community, physical touch, being truly known and seen—and then when people exhibit the psychological equivalent of starvation symptoms, we've medicalized it. We call it anxiety, depression, various personality disorders. We prescribe medications to make the screaming quieter. We offer therapy to help people "cope with" the deprivation rather than addressing the actual fucking deprivation.

And here's the really sinister part: we've convinced people that their hunger itself is the problem. That needing connection is neediness. That wanting to be known is vulnerability that will be exploited. That expressing loneliness is a social contagion that might make others uncomfortable, so the responsible thing is to suppress it, manage it privately, keep it to yourself. We've made the symptoms of social starvation into character flaws.

The "solutions" we offer are almost perfectly designed to make the problem worse while creating the illusion of progress. Go to therapy—great, now you have one single human you pay $100 an hour to listen to you, and that's supposed to substitute for having a community, a tribe, people who know your daily life and give a shit whether you exist. Exercise—fantastic, now your brain chemistry is slightly better while you remain completely fucking isolated, plus you get to feel like you're "working on yourself" which is just another way of saying the problem is YOU, not the collapsed social infrastructure around you. Meditate—wonderful, now you can sit alone and "be present with yourself" which is just rebranded dissociation where you practice being okay with having no one. Journal—perfect, now you can have deep conversations with yourself on paper instead of with other humans, really streamlining the isolation process.

The hobbies, the self-improvement, the optimization, the productivity systems—it's all just elaborate busy-work to distract you from noticing that you're living in a social desert. And the fucking genius of it is that it keeps you productive and consuming for the capitalist money generation machine. A lonely person with hobbies still goes to work, still buys shit, still participates in the economy, still doesn't disrupt anything. They're just quietly dying inside in a managed, socially acceptable way. The loneliest people might be pretending the hardest that they don't need connection, which makes it almost impossible to form actual connections based on authenticity instead of masked lies, which makes them more isolated, which makes them pretend harder. It's a perfect trap.

And anyone who points this out, anyone who says "hey, maybe the problem isn't that individuals are broken, maybe we've built a society that's fundamentally hostile to human thriving"—they get labeled as dramatic, negative, or mentally unwell. Because if the problem is systemic, we'd have to change shit on a fundamental level. But if the problem is just you and your bad coping skills and your unfortunate brain chemistry, well, that's manageable. That's a you problem. Go read a book about it. Maybe try yoga.

The whole thing is a massive gaslighting operation where we've normalized mass-scale human suffering as just the background radiation of modern life, and anyone who refuses to accept it quietly is treated as the problem.

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of their country." —Thomas Jefferson, 1816

Let's look at the emotional logic behind the capitalist conditioning that points directly at the internalized contradiction that no one wants to name out loud: we live in a society that has trained generations of people knowingly or unknowingly to prioritize money and power over love and trust, and then we’re shocked when society feels cold, paranoid, and spiritually bankrupt.

The capitalistic phrase "maximize your own power and money regardless of human suffering as long as you don't get thrown in prison" gets at the unspoken core curriculum of dehumanization—where the goal isn’t pro-human harmony with others, it’s dog-eat-dog survival through controlling or dominating others, and the main constraints are maintaining well-to-do optics and avoiding getting caught. The result is a generation of people emotionally trained in covert sneaky snake money or power maximizing war games.

And the result is that the emotional ecosystem degrades into loneliness and isolation and despair. The more people become fluent in manipulation, plausible deniability, and selective empathy, the harder it becomes to form real community. People don’t trust each other because they’re paranoid of being extracted from in some way because they’re accurately reading the incentive structure most people are operating under.

The emotional skillset for genuine connection becomes a liability in a game where emotional vulnerability = risk of ostracization, and unconditional love = a resource or money extraction opportunity.

And here's the final point that nails the inverse survival logic that’s developed as a psychological adaptation:

Run out of money? You potentially starve or become homeless or you die.

Run out of love? You might just survive longer in a capitalistic hellscape where most people are trying to get shit from you. No one can betray you if you don't get close enough to trust them in the first place.

The systemic isolation here could be seen as a kind of societal dysfunction being used as defense against the money extraction machine of capitalism. It’s like society engineered a virus into the social fabric where love = potential exposure whereas isolation = potentially increased safety, and now people are wondering why the social fabric is fragmenting.

Jefferson might have feared monied aristocracy because increasing wealth inequality combined with the concept of money as power could influence the culture of the country to devote more and more resources towards money-generation and power-grabbing and not nurturing the emotional well-being of people living in that same societal machine and now look what happened... oof 😮‍💨.
