We wouldn't have the same tax budget in general if we hd ubi and free housing and food becuase a lot of people would stop working.

schools for example are funded primarily by property taxes which would go away if we all had free housing.

if we had ubi and housing and food etc free less people would work which means less tax revenue for govt to pay for benefits. That same revenue would now be needed to also pay for schools now since housing is free.

if everyone grew their own food (which is like printing your own money) then the supermarkets would go out of business

Niggas got to jumping on OP head crazy but trauma p*** deff a thing lol

that too

The world a f***ed up place and it's only get worse. I'm not surprised with all this trauma talk niggas can't be expected to bottle ts up anymore. If life was good I'd agree with you

Trump and Biden f***ed up the economy

China spying on us with balloons

Russia killing Ukraine

Niggas trapped in North Korea

Canada on fire and Trudeau a dumbass

There's so much s*** going on why should everyone pretend to ignore it nigga we sick of this s*** fr. You're username is So Much Pain you're just as traumatized as anyone

Trauma p*** is a thing but after the pandemic, economic crises, mass shootings, political tensions, etc its not a shock that a lot of people are traumatized rn lmao

Like yall keep comparing s*** to the way things used to be but its not how it use to be lmao

I’ve seen some dumb threads before but this one right here…

Where did I make a comparison.

I'm not even tryna downplay anything but niggas act like there isn't an ongoing feeling of perpetual victimhood and wanting people to be constantly traumatized in the media and life in general.

And the crazy thing is y'all keep going into all this political s*** when OP never mentioned that he was moreso talking about people online and the media.

He ain't word it in the best way but he's not totally wrong

We had multiple lock downs, going through a recession, police brutality protests, statistically there are more mass shooting than there are days of the year now and niggas are more worried about people venting trauma than acknowledging how to fix it. If people posting about healing we should embrace them not say "why yall talking about that"

But like I said this the wrong site to even talk about that s***, look at the loneliness thread, niggas was down bad

ktt2.com/we-are-officially-in-a-loneliness-epidemic-32549119

Imma be real I'm surprised this thread got beyond five pages

Says the MF named “SO MUCH PAIN”

Bro the defining characteristic of the 2010s-2020s is the bleeding of politics into every facet of life

I'm gen Z bro a lot of us are depressed about s*** thats going on in the world and top that on all of the personal s*** its really not a stretch to say a lot of us are traumatized

Like put yourself in my position I saw hella school shootings growing up, COVID, the economy going to s***, George Floyd, etc

Like an entire generation is growing up in s*** like this and social media/technology only makes it more visible ofc we traumatized

It’s a whole genre/aesthetic for people to be victims rn lol

Both in the mental health sense and in a racial/group identity politics sense

Outside of maybe the 70’s-90’s (and that depended on the city you’re in) this is maybe the cushiest time in human history especially if you live in America lol. Arguably even moreso as black people compared to what niggas in the 30’s-60’s had to go thru

I think our generation likes to revel in the idea of us being in some perpetual world changing world is about to end era lol. Like it’s a personality trait to list off all the f***ed up s*** going on and patting ourselves on the back for “surviving it” lol

Yeah and as a millennial, we grew up in f***ed up s*** too.

9/11 was a 30 minute drive from where I lived, 08 recession, War on Terror / Bush administration f***-ups, the school shootings was taking off in our era (Virginia Tech etc.), Police shootings like Sean Bell,

i get it.

But what OP seems to be talking about is how the sensationalism around all this s*** somehow got worse.

I hate saying s*** like that comes off as dismissive but like yeah lol

A lot of s*** online (even in this section) is "guys my life sucks (but I won't try to change it)"

And yeah there is some s*** going on where they want niggas to be constantly terrified, even down to the way language is used

Uhhhhhh think you underestimating a lot of things we dealing with.

Lets take global warming out of the equation, financially we are going through some crazy s*** my nigga

Keep the grind up though you'll become a gazillionaire in no time

People are becoming more racist and homophobic in recent history and it's not stopping

Feels like any progress made up until COVID withered away

s*** this only makes me wanna grind harder fr 💯
