All you have to do is look at the state of the world right now. Yes, there are people working to stop the spread of fascism, but they're vastly outnumbered. I mean, Trump didn't hide the pain he wanted to cause, and 2/3 of the country were fine with it because they thought he would be hurting someone else. I mean, basically the entire USA was built on the backs of immigrants who were horribly abused. Shit, we're about to have a ton of people starve because our slave labor force is being deported. And most product the US consumes has slavery involved in some step of the process.
Most of human history is full of war, slavery, and misery of the masses, often in the name of religion. Sure, there have been societies who strived to be altruistic, but they all fall or are corrupted. And not even the Native Americans were free from this. There were definitely war tribes that practiced slavery and even cannibalism.
Unless we find a way to eradicate Type B personality disorders, horrible people will keep gaining power and convincing the masses to let them commit atrocities. Because one of the major issues with humans is that we want someone else to take the responsibility of making decisions so the consequences aren't on us.
Both capitalism and communism are great theories on paper, but it's humans that pervert those systems for personal gain. We eventually corrupt anything we touch.
And I'm in therapy, but I just don't look at humanity through rose colored glasses. I think since the western world doesn't have to look these things in the face we forget about them.
You do know what outlier means right? Just because there are exceptions doesn't mean that the overall behavior of humans isn't shitty and exploitative.
Slavery is an invention of humans. Rape is a human behavior. Murder is a human behavior. Every evil thing that a person has ever done is part of human nature.
And exactly, those people who just want to live a peaceful and quiet life are the ones who just sit back and let the rich and powerful exploit everything. It doesn't take many people to stop the exploitation, but most people just keep their heads down.
I'm one of those people who just want to live a quiet life, so I'm not judging, but all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. And there's a lot of good people doing nothing.
It's no different than the "all cops are bad" mantra, because there are absolutely cops who aren't corrupt pieces of shit, but they allow the corrupt pieces of shit to keep being corrupt pieces of shit.
I think we got spoiled by a few decades of relative good and forgot the many thousands of years of war and misery beforehand. And we're heading back to that world because the evil people aren't in hiding anymore.
It's easy to try to blame capitalism, but capitalism is just the end result of human greed and corruption. If industrialization had happened 1,000 years ago, capitalism would have started 1,000 years ago. The fact that it requires a massive amount of regulation to curtail it means that it's a natural behavior.
Buddy, the rich have been exploiting the masses and ruining the environment for basically all of written human history. Capitalism may have sped it up, but it's not some new behavior that sprang up out of nowhere.
Capitalism is a product of humans, and humans have always either been shitty and exploitative, or willing to let it happen to protect what they have. No matter what system of government or economics you come up with, humans will eventually corrupt it. I believe our ability to do so is our species's Great Filter.
The people who have fought against these behaviors were outliers.
Not really, no. Shyness is more akin to anxiety, and not engaging in conversations doesn't automatically mean it's an anxious behavior.
Introverts aren't the way they are because they're shy or have anxiety about participating in social situations. That's just social anxiety, and introversion and social anxiety are not mutually inclusive.
This person really just seems like they're fairly in the middle of the introvert/extravert spectrum.
That's not necessarily true. I've asked to join meetings that were only tangentially related to my department so I knew what was being worked on so I could do my job effectively if they needed me.
