i spend every christmas on my own. i get severe seasonal depression, people are great generally and offer company but i feel bad for not being good company and that makes me feel worse, so i stick to myself. people call me a grinch, but nobody has died as a result of my grinching
i still don't blame people. 2020 has been fucking grim, people have lost patience and trust in authority, there's a good chance that they're about to lose their jobs.. fuck i don't blame them for getting a bit lost in their own shit.
people are only fucking human at the end of the day. at our worst we're weak, selfish, and we're really fucking good at shutting out inconvenient truths. at our best we're compassionate, eager to learn and would do anything to help others.
one person can be either of those things depending what mood they're in. 66 million of them... some fucker obviously decided that people need leading, fine.. but if people's natural reaction is the latter... maybe play to that?
our govt hasn't done that. they run away from all the responsibilities of leadership, doubt and apathy have been allowed to become the narrative and it got to a point where it spiraled out of control. the less control govt has, the more people doubt them..
the less truth people have in govt, the less control govt has... and at the end of 2020, tens of thousands of people are dead, and it's looking like there's going to be a lot more.
maybe it's because i'm an environmentalist, and i've spent years trying to convince people to maybe eat less meat, while the roads are gridlocked with cars, that i can just accept the futility of blaming individuals for a culture of problems..
i could write another 400 tweets but i'm going to abruptly stop there.. i'm not trying to change anybody's mind.. i just want a whinge.
