Same here. Lately, I've been seriously questioning my beliefs about things because of how hateful it has made me. Not that I feel like my beliefs are wrong (my racism, disdain for the government, fags, etc.) but how much it affects my mental health.
When it comes to social interaction, it's really becoming a burden to hold back when certain topics come up. On one hand, people have different views and I'd rather not have the conflict. On the other, people need to hear it sometimes and, also, maybe more than we think are in agreement but think the same way I do.
Either way, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a social life at all if I freely spoke my mind. Hell, as much as my wife agrees with me on 90% of things, she would probably see me very differently if she new the way I think for the other 10%. Not to mention, how do I teach my kids right without them being complete social outcasts.
Sorry, not sure where I'm going with this. Just venting I guess.
Dude I hear ya. I’m in the exact same boat. Luckily my wife is on here 😂 but everything else you said is 💯 my dilemma as well. Honestly. I do think a lot more people feel the way we do it’s just been suppressed by this PC culture. Otherwise, we would get sick of this shit and reject the system. Believe it or not I actually really engage a spiritual side to things (at times) which I know seems pretty hypocritical but it balances me out from just being so pissed off at everything. It really isn’t healthy subjecting ourselves to such negativity all the time but I think if we keep things in moderation we can use it as a little blow off valve here and there. I think for people like us it’s the Underground Railroad for the freedom of speech and thought. It’s not safe anywhere else. Who would have thought Voat of all places could be a ‘safe space.’ 🤣 I realize the irony in pretty much everything I just said but it certainly makes sense to me. I think if things weren’t so fuck up and we didn’t live in a world lacking of truth we wouldn’t need this so I don’t feel like I am the fucked up one for all of this.
As they say, “ “It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
I’m just so sick of this fucking clown world we live in. I’m done
