My ideology is that life is an unreasonable, unnecessary, and undesirable burden, and dying for it is free real estate.

To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me Otherwise I have to listen to me think Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out Sit on the couch and think about How living's just a promise that I made

I like to convince myself that maybe I'll be able to spend enough money to make the rest of my life suck less.

You sound ashamed about it. Our morals dim for the chocolate we eat. We live knowing the actual suffering propping the rest of us up is just far enough out of sight it doesn't keep us up at night.

You're not wrong. I'm pretty bummed about the whole situation, but I'm not gonna be convinced that the problems are my fault or under my influence when being born was just like being isekai'd into a trolley problem.

I'll stick to my anime and videogames because it's a much more fun distraction from reality than the misery of politics trying to convince me my input matters.

I find it hard to believe anyone who watches anime can be so oblivious to the constant themes ever present in almost all anime. Duty, self empowerment, sacrificing ones self for others, overcoming the impossible, applying your unique talents to defeat the enemy, etc. If you can enjoy any of that media you can motive yourself to solve the simple puzzles politics represent.

Edif:

But fuck if I give a about this helplessness you've adopted. You sound like some sort of lame parody of myself.

It's a very pretty picture, but I live in a world surrounded by people who want me disarmed and physically unable to confront the bad guys. Gimme a magic sword and the capacity to tank a lot of hits from the evil fighters I confront with talk no jutsu and I'll l give that effort a try.

My unique talent is putting into words how voting is a Rubik's cube your mom gives you so you'll shut up for a minute in the back of the car while she's driving. She's driving over a cliff and thinks a parachute will help her while making your death look like an accident despite how she's prepared with a parachute while driving over a cliff. If enough people understand what I'm saying, maybe they'll organize externally and actually do something that might help. I have more hope for this than faith in voting, but recognize that neither is likely to help anything.
