No I've recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years. We have the capacity to do better, but don't and that's what makes us so fucking awful.
No one thinks they're a bad person, but bad people exist.
So do most of the people who vote (or don't vote) for this shit. Maybe we should stop focusing so much on how much everyone else sucks and start trying to help each other.
People giving up is what got us into this position.
Oh to be young and still idealistic...
My guy, I'm almost as old as you. I just haven't given up yet.
If you want to give, that's fine. You can enjoy your schadenfreude while the world burns around you, I'd rather at least think about doing something about it.
Person is singular and people is plural.
Just where my head went.
