You have to understand that most of these people are NPCs who don’t have the psychological capability to do for themselves. They are sitting around expecting the world to change for them because that’s what they expect out of society: for all the important things to be done for them, and that’s due to them internalizing a lifetime of being told that’s all they’re allowed to do. Instead of, you know, thinking for themselves or rebelling on their own.
As things get worse, expect to see a lot more bitching without any meaningful action.
Also expect a lot of them to get defensive when you tell them such because they know what you and I are saying is true.
I used to meet a lot of these people in the office. They’d resign themselves to their situations and blame everyone else.
When I come across it now, I’ll listen and then ask what could make it better. 50% of the time it’s “does not compute” + excuses.
Choose to watch 2hrs Netflix every night or settle for a crappy job or relationship? Go for it, I’m not judging you. Bitch that it’s your only option? Nope.
It’s not the average Joe’s responsibility to have to fight for a system of equality, or their responsibility to know a correct solution. The US Government needs to be held accountable for the insane wealth inequality they’ve allowed under their watch. That’s what they’re paid to do.
Learned helplessness is a real issue for some people. It’s really sad to see and often difficult to help someone realize they can put their energy toward better things
