    I’m honestly so sick of this sick world we live in. Lately it just seems like the veil has slipped and we can see how truly depraved the rich and powerful are and we are not able to do anything significant to change it.

      The sick world you live in is online. It’s not real. The world you see through your black mirror isn’t the same as the one you see outside the window. News has always been a litany of human misery. Online news is pure and condensed human suffering.

      We are, but we’d have to give up a lot.

      However, they keep taking more and more. So how long before they take enough that giving up the rest is worth it?
