    It’s probably 300 times harder to be depressed and anxious when you are braindead, so this tracks.

    Fucking accurate.

    The only time I’ve seen racists sad is when Trump didn’t kill enough immigrants fast enough for their liking.

      They put ICE in the airports, they’re sending them to polling places, they bought the voting machines. Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose. A Constitutional crisis and a confrontation between the civilian population and the fascist regime is imminent.

      I haven’t listened to Knowledge Fight for a while because I’m watching my own mental health a bit, but ol AJ has never sounded actually happy for more than an episode or two. Hatred like they have sounds like they sleep well, but they’re fucking miserable too. J.K. Rowling could shut up and just enjoy being rich, but she still has to find someone to hate and hurt. You wouldn’t really hear about a happy person.

    My woke ass actually feels empathy for others, so of course I am depressed watching them get disappeared.

    No shit. it’s really depressing seeing all of those filthy pedophiles and nazis getting sexually aroused by dead kids.

    and even more depressing watching 2/3rds of Americans refusing to deal with 80 million terrorists in America.

    To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, the fact that a MAGA racist is happier than a woke person is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.

    You might come to that conclusion: if you associate wokeness with empathy then it makes sense to think that such people are emotionally influenced by all the shit in the world and therefor must feel worse than those who don’t have such a burden. All other things being equal, that would probably be true; but it overlooks the fact that the proudly antiwoke are fucking miserable.

      No. You need a cat because everyone needs TWO cats.

      But, only two. Don’t get eight. That’s too many cats.

    I’m not sure to which extend this is true but this might be correlation. I guess MAGA people are more often privileged while marginalized people are more often woke and due to their marginalization they are depressed
