Really? Because most cons and tepubs I meet are the angriest miserable people I interact with, constantly pissed at the most insignificant mild inconveniences imaginable and always finding ways to make themselves the victim
It's both. Indoctrination is a complex bitch. I grew up (quite) religious and was definitely "happier" in some sense when I could just easily dismiss every real, major problem/injustice in life with some glib, simplistic talking point or Bible verse. To say nothing of the confidence and self-assuredness that goes along with "knowing the truth" and being on the "good side/team," not like those wordly sinners over there.
It IS much easier and comfortable that way. Deep down, I was utterly miserable, but it took a long time to understand that and see through it all.
Ever been to Lemmy?
That's could be just exposure to the internet, which turns everyone into a wretched and miserable gremlin.
Sure, and not just that. Most, if not all people I know of whom I'd consider a 'normal' don't spend time commenting on social media. By definition, everything we read on here comes from this self-selecting group of people who do not represent the majority.
Ooh yeah? Well what the HELL is that supposed to mean?
