gestures broadly
The obsession with what other people do with their lives. I like to be left alone, mind my own business, not bother others. But there seems to be some part of the population that is the opposite and just can’t help but poke and pry at others.
Its because there are some that believe that their freedom does not encroach on the freedoms of other, and need a polite reminder that their actions have consequences, and that we’re all part of a larger whole, no matter how much we pretend otherwise.
There are people that destroy things with no benefit to themselves or do things that hurt themselves just because it hurt who they consider to be “the right people.”
It’s just tribalism
The primary goal is to show off how much of a team member they are, by picking on some “other”. It strengthens their ties to their group, by having an enemy to unite against.
Why people hurt others / rip others off. I don’t understand that lack of empathy.
Hurt people, hurt people.
The way we destroy everything in the long term for short term gains. If our goal is to not die out, we are doing it wrong. Its like we’re speed running extinction.
WHAT IS SO FUCKING HARD ABOUT THE ZIPPER MERGE?!?
Do you motherfuckers REALLY think you’re a defender of traffic justice when you’re attempting to run people off the road for using a designated lane?
Well…there are a lot of things I don’t understand, but maybe I’m just weird in that way :)) I don’t understand why some people accept that what they know at this moment is enough and don’t try to learn new stuff and be better tomorrow than they are now. I don’t understand why some people choose to ignore creativity and event think that creative people are childish or even stupid. And also, I don’t understand why lots of people choose to be jackasses and act accordingly to others when it would be so easy do not do this.
Everyone seems to need instant gratification in every aspect of life. No one seems capable of thinking for more than 25 seconds into the future. The pervasive culture of “Fuck you, got mine”, and the rat race to the almighty dollar. I don’t get it, it’s sad, and it’s the driving force behind not wanting children. The world sucks, and I want to reduce suffering.
That so many people feel the need to force other well-functioning people under their own religious or non-religious moral code.
Why “human nature” takes a higher priority than “common sense”.
Human history is rife with people fueling vicious cycles, most notably surrounding conflicts between certain groups of people like we see today. These cycles are excused under the crutch of “human nature” but wouldn’t exist if those people stepped back and thought “wait a minute”.
When I was little, me and my siblings were taught that our outcomes are our responsibility and that our physical/neurological/psychological shortcomings are no excuse for a member of society, so when I see someone talk about someone having done something wrong and say “it’s only human nature”, I just want to say “dude, I’m a woman with several medical conditions and yet you’re worse than I am if you use the plain fact that someone is human to justify their behavior”.
There’s parts you understand?
Why do so many folks carry so much hatred inside… it’s so self-destructive and detrimental to society.
Harm done to them by other people, and justifiably and rationally looking for answers to how/why/what/where/when/who, so they can make the harm less likely to be repeated in the future by altering their behavior appropriately.
With special emphasis on the “who”, because it’s easier, when they should be focusing on the “how” and “why”. The “why” part is the most important, but also hardest to tackle.
The cruelty.
The broad commitment to obsolete ideas.
I was thinking last night how weird it is that we can suspend disbelief while watching a movie. Like, we see Tom Cruise on screen and know he’s the most famous person in the world and we saw him alive on TV today, yet we get worried that he’s gonna die in a ten year old movie?
Tom who?
The guy from that Castaway movie.
