That word you are looking for is 'maddening'.
This is why so many Americans identify with the Joker, use terms like 'clown world', why I have an extremely dark sense of humor at this point.
Being well-adjusted to a deeply sick and dysfunctional society is not a sign of mental wellbeing.
And yeah, I would have gotten out some time ago now, but unfortunately I've been crippled by injuries, and thus, impoverished by the rest of US society... so I'm here for the long haul, untill I more fully recover both my body and my finances.. though the good news there is I am making good progress... but the bad news is it may take a while longer still.
In the mean time, ... welp, just gotta hope Trump and the Reps don't cancel the Disability Insurance part of Social Security, otherwise I'm homeless in a month or two, and then likely dead or in some kind of prison or internment camp in another couple months.
The current plan for the homeless is, as with brown skinned people, concentration camps.
'Maddening' seems like a good fit. And the joker (using the latest movie as base) also fits well the open eyes in a dark world. How else to cope if not with dark humor. I see it the same way and my humor has always been very dark. And with each decade i become more "incompatible" with social groups and need to restrain my cynicism and misanthropy. But how could one not become that when running around with open eyes, unclouded and unaffected by propaganda?
Fuck, I'm sorry to hear that dude. I always cuss at our local injustices here towards handicapped and whatever else, but then I hear/read something from you guys and it all seems relatively grear again. Like our saying "complaining on a high Niveau". We are far from perfect (and even drift in the wrong direction), but, in principle, we have a social/medical net. Homeless people, in theory, get their welfare, everyone does who can't work. We were even close to the much better solution "universal income".
Homelessness being illegal is one of the most dystopian things there could be. But probably helps greatly in ~~getting cheap labour~~ punishing bad people for their crimes.
Crossing fingers your ~~realism~~ pessimism won't be fulfilled and trump suddenly dies of penile rotting cancer and untreatable adult testicular torsion. But I could totally imagine camps. You could even name them bad-people-killing-facility and Murica, nay the whole world wouldn't even flinch. It would just be noticed and maybe harshly judged by some random, yet uninfluential, intellectuals. Like with what the Jews currently do. Especially weird if you grew up here, where generational guilt is still taught at school.
Could you explain 'Complaining from a high Niveau'?
I don't know what Niveua means, though I am guessing the phrase is roughly equivalent to 'Get off your high horse' or 'Check your privilege' or 'The view from the ivory tower'...
... which all roughly mean that a person has a fairly decent, wealthy and secure standard of living, and the stuggles of the poor either do not matter to them, or are literally not even conceivable to them, as they've never had to deal with those kinds of problems, and have no idea how difficult it is.
...
But uh yeah... America hates the poor, and whats worst is that they've trained most of the poor to hate themselves and other poors, for being poor.
It is so obviously stupid when you break out of that mindset, but, its very well trained into us, very hard for many to escape.
...
Regarding Jews/Israelis, I just wanna clarify a distinction there.
I have many Jewish relatives, here in the US.
They all despise what Israel, and Israeli Jews sre doing.
There are in fact more Jews in the US than there are Jews in Israel.
For a great many of them, the actions of the state of Israel do not speak for all Jews, and many US Jews denounce what they have been and are currently doing, many of them have been taking part in and even leading protests against the ongoing Palestinian Genocide.
