That mental health thread is nuts, there are so many problems with ResetEra and they can't even recognize and identify their own problems:
1. I'm assuming a lot of them live in developed countries, and yet they complain almost everything and look at the negatives to the point it affects them mentally. I think these people have not encountered real and actual problems (actual poverty, actual outbreaks of diseases, actual violence) so they create their own problems like from making very minor things into big ones (like
this) to outright creating and overanalyzing their own bullshit. If they experienced actual problems, they won't be in this situation.
2. I believe mental health is real and I know people who have mental health problems (difficult to adjust, depression, thoughts of suicide) and it is very important to seek help. I know that the boomers tend to reject these as actual problems but it is important to seek help with the psychologist.
Unfortunately a lot of "woke" people consume too much negative media and focus too much on being careful what to say that it affects their mental health, and it doesn't help that their solution is to "seek help online with other likeminded individuals". Sometimes it seems like they're fostering their own depression.
My former friend has descended this path and now he's miserable and thinks the world is unfair (he's way too political, gets offended easily, claims he's woke) yet he's a spoiled brat who only works 6 hours with his dad doing light work and his parents give him a lot of money (he complains about his parents a lot too). Not many people like him and only his woke friends like him. I hate to say it but he's incredibly shallow and nihilistic.
3. Their encouragement of dogpiling, doxxing, and doing negative things to problematic people also affects the other people in their very own community. It's like you're on a bullying spree with this community and you come to realize that what you might be doing is wrong, and then your very own community turns against you because you don't think it's good.
4. Instead of looking for a solution, they blame it on politicians and claim they're authoritarian. Politicians are just politicians and it's really up to them if they want to see a better future (like actually working hard). Unless they live in an actual authoritarian country (
here's a list), they're just creating their own problems again without actually doing anything and rather complain about work and how work is miserable.
5. They like to discuss how almost everything is racist. Truth be told, there is racism everywhere. Wouldn't it help to rather ignore it than fan the flames just to make it bigger and even worse?
Super old, but saw someone share this on Twitter today and thought of Era.
I'd say Religion is a choice or a way of life in several countries (I have a religion) but being over fanatical or extreme is bad and can do bad things to your point of view in life and how people will perceive you. Religion isn't bad but if it makes you a close minded self-righteous asshole, then it's bad. I'd say Era is an extremist religion.
