Snark aside tho, you really, desperately need to stop doomscrolling. P much all your posts are about horribly depressing shit and that has a very real effect on how you view others. The vast majority of people aren't rapists and abusers and fascists and shit, they just get a lot of attention bc enraging and hopeless stories get a lot of traffic. Oil and social media companies and right wing politicians invest a fuck ton of money and effort into making sure people are completely hopeless and mad at the wrong people, don't give them that easy a win <3

I'm sorry for being edgy myself earlier, people with lives as traumatic as yours sounds from these comments come by misanthropy at least a bit honestly. That doesn't make utter hopelessness or contempt for others helpful or good, but I should've been more understanding
