  • I think the main issue was the “don’t trust the mainstream media” and “fake news” BS. It was genius if you think about it. Then people will go to him for their info.

    I also understand though that the USA has less unbiased reporting, unlike the UK where unbiased is generally the standard for TV reporting, especially for the BBC.

    Our newspapers, however…


  • Your second paragraph is the main reason.

    I am from the UK and a famous example is Bobby Sands MP. Was a member of the PIRA, but was in prison and got elected MP for his constituency. While I do believe the PIRA to be a brutal terrorist organisation, the people who voted him in wanted to show their support - and I agree with their right to do that as much as I vehemently disagree with their choice

    Unpopular opinion: You should be allowed to run for president and be a president even with a criminal record. I don’t support trump and think the convictions are well earned. But democracy is a democracy - it’s up to the people to decide whether or not they should have a convicted criminal in office.





  • Overpopulation is a myth. We need more younger people than older people

    You have seemed to make it clear that you want to die alone and not even try. If you won’t get therapy of some kind, don’t try and make other people suffer or justify your situation in front of other people. People are giving you advice here and you’re refusing it, trying to justify yourself as some hero over “overpopulation” or something, and it’s pathetic. You have plenty of time, you should resolve to want to turn your life around.




  • I’m going to be straight to you here: The only thing holding you back is yourself. If you have a neurodivergency, I recommend getting in touch with an agency that helps find work for ND people. Your nature isn’t going to change by just sitting in your room all day. I don’t want to work either; I don’t think anybody does. I don’t want to do education. But forcing myself through it as difficult as it was made me a MUCH better person and more capable and gave me a job that even though I struggle with some days, I enjoy. By sitting in your room all day, you’re just going to make yourself worse and there’ll be no future for you. Don’t give up in your 30’s. It’s not too late to do something. Switch off the news as well, delete social media if you have to. There is bad news about this world as we’re a fallen species, but for our own life, we have to make the best of it.
