The masses are a**es: reinforcing humanity's harshest truths and refuting the universe's biggest lie in a time of extreme degradation

E.G. Records

The period from (at the very least) 2016 until now has reinforced a harsh reality about humanity, one that nearly all of us prefer to ignore: While people may age physically and their personalities may be altered over the course of a lifetime, the majority tend to retain the same immature a**holes they were in high school. It is disheartening to acknowledge that most individuals are not inherently good, despite the notion demanded of us that people in general are fundamentally decent. The past eight years, coupled with significant and soul-crushing self-reflection, have unequivocally confirmed these sobering truths for me. It is distressing to witness not only the failure of many to mature, but also the outright regression of most adults in this absurd era. #Cult45 serves as the starkest evidence, naturally, but they are not the sole culprits; numerous other examples could be cited. Consider grown adults indulging in video games, eating fast food, or listening to teen pop music, for instance. And how vehemently they will defend themselves if anyone dares suggest that ‘hey, come on, this is kid stuff’. But I digress.

Since just before the pandemic, I have endured profound agony and near-total isolation, striving to confront and overcome the darkest parts of myself. Meanwhile, I have watched as many others appear to embrace their own inner demons in this diseased age and within these dying United States of America. Every pessimistic thought and suspicion I ever harboured about humanity has been painfully confirmed and then some. At 46 years old, not once in my life have I ever felt a sense of belonging, only now I am proud and grateful to not belong among all these bloody imbeciles. The collective decline is becoming too much to bear, with people becoming increasingly self-absorbed and indifferent. Sadly, this trend shows no signs of abating; an American renaissance is unlikely to occur in any of our lifetimes, and the planet itself is suffering irreparable harm. Get me the f**k out of here.
