All I keep thinking is, capitalism is not working. We have suicidal youth (both young men and women) who are really hurting, who don't see a future, don't HAVE a future, who are lonely and disconnected with no one to nurture them and show them how to fit into society and have relationships...
We are just such a sick society right now that I despair it can even be fixed. I look with longing at other cultures around the world, indigenous cultures (although some of them are misogynistic which sucks) - I feel like we all need to be a whole lot more connected to one another, a whole lot more real, a whole lot more caring and nice, and a whole lot less judged on outward appearances and what possessions we have.
I don't know how to fix any of this. I feel so much despair. I feel hopeless sometimes. I know that men, especially the younger men, are suffering too. And sometimes women are really mean to men, too. I know that. I wish our society would be a much less cruel and mean society in general. We aren't going to survive as a culture unless we learn to be nicer to one another. I'm not saying we won't have disagreements and fights, but there is this snarkiness and cruelty and delight in selfishness that the right-wing is all about and it seems to be infecting our whole society like a horrible cancer and we need to break free of it somehow.
