I think the vast majority of people out in society are dickheads.Like even "nice" people on any given day will turn on you.
Sure, but you must have your limits too
I think most people are actually pretty easy to get along with for the most part. Polite and respectful. If you're getting into some drama shit and people are turning on you, you're too invested in the first place.
>>80079542except for me, unironically. You have no idea what kind of burdensome friendships I maintain
driving is proof of this>everyone acts all respectful and polite in public>in traffic everyone is lightning fast to honk, scream and swear at you over the most minor inconvenience
>>80079542There is a small, rootless international clique that is driving the people against each other. A classic divide and conquer strategy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C87cQvdjuFchttps://nationalvanguard.org/2020/06/a-brief-look-at-jewish-wealth/
>>80079640On a surface level people generally act OK but that's just a facade
>>80079705A facade covering what exactly?
>>80079674If people are so easily manipulated why would you want to interact with 95 IQ mouthbreathers?
>>80079710Simple a facade that's inherently non friendly, uncooperative and hostile.
>>80079732A facade covering a facade? What do you mean? Are you saying that people are "non friendly, uncooperative and hostile" beneath their facade? That's pretty obviously wrong as people constantly make friends and cooperate. And I don't think people turn openly hostile unless they feel they have been wronged somehow.
>>80079784I'll give you an example My dad used to be in a cycling club, he was liked by the others, one day one of the members couldn't keep up during their course.what does he do he stays with him and tries to help him get a headstart, unfortunately the guy took a fall.Anyway long story short the guy told the insurance company my dad was at fault even though he wasn't, he also said they went down a wrong way street, which he could've just let out of the report.The result all members of the club started treating my dad like shit and calling him a money hungry ass. Idk might not be the best example but people turn on each other real quick
>>80080025I don't even understand your example. Your dads friend fell on his bike and therefore his other bike friends started calling your dad money hungry? Why?
>>80080088Yes because of the insurance issue and the fact that he fell he blamed my dad for it. The others followed suit
>>80080224Why did they think your dad was money hungry?
>>80080267Because he said for the benefit of both parties involved he shouldn't have mentioned the street was a wrong way street. They were on a crossing and not directly in said street, idk some bullshit
>>80080282So your dad wanted to grift the insurance company?
>>80080298He wanted to spare his friend the fee my dad wasn't the recipient
>>80079542from what I know of people, the majority are good people, but there is a really large portion that is the "rotten part".everyone, I mean, every normal person who goes out and meets people knows this... it's simply the truth.
>>80080328And his friend called him money hungry because he didn't like the idea of lying to the insurance company?
>>80080466Basically yes, though it wasn't a lie, the guy was just stupid, he said they were headed in a one way street. The accident didn't occur in the actual street, so he could've left it out
>>80080576So your dads friend was angry with your dad why exactly? It's not really clear from your story.
>>80079542It's because we've promoted so much performative behavior and generational abuse. Most people are angry and miserable they are just masking it and "acting" nice to survive. Authenticity is the only way to salvation don't play the game. Don't pretend with them.
>>80080668And I'll add on atleast a subconscious level if not a conscious level you pick up on this phoniness and it makes you uneasy. That's where your perception of underlying hostility comes from. They don't fool your sympathetic nervous system. They call it the uncanny valley but simply put it's just you picking up on performative behavior. They're being a "fake" human, masking, go be perceived as a nice person when it's not how they honestly feel or think. We would save an enormous amount of stress if society encouraged people to be more authentic and just not bother other people about it. Forcing people to pretend to be happy or "nice" is actually making them more unhinged and worse off.
>>80080668And furthermore they take out that underlying anger and resentment in indirect ways like obsessing over politics or social issues and institutions or prejudices against other groups. You often hear Japanese people vent about it how they envy how "free" and "honest" people live in other countries. It just goes to show how stifled they feel and how obligated to be fake nice and performative for survival. But western societies are hardly devoid of the performative social norms even if they are in some ways more sincere about life.
>>80080616Idk he blamed him for falling and trying to cover his ass, seems to me he was just trying to spin the narrative. Possibly he just kinda tarnished his name
>>80079603There are always limits. However the problem is we used to live in high trust society where you would do small nice things for strangers and your community. We also used to live in a world where friendships and relationships weren't seen as transactional commodities, but important bonds that should never be broken except for in the most extreme of circumstances. People's limits in the past were; infidelity, betrayal, or extreme acts of physical or mental cruelty. People's limits now are being mildly inconvenienced, having a fight, being too avoidant to fix problems or communicate, being "bored of someone", or not being able to extract value out of someone. Divorcing someone because you were bored and wanted someone else made you the town whore worthy of scorn from your entire community. Ditching your close friends for no reason or for new friends was seen as outrageous, and people would ostracize you. Lying to people or being a whore for money was seen as disgraceful and criminal. Many of these sorts of actions are praised now, because society went from; "a man shoulders his burdens with grace, and good men help their fellow man" to "you're special, and you don't owe anyone anything." Being nice always required a level of suffering, low trust societies encourage thinking only of personal comfort. OP is completely correct that most people are now dickheads, they are incorrect about nice people. Nice people exist still, they are just rarer because to be nice you have to reject modern messaging and be willing to suffer for other people.
>>80079542>Like even "nice" people on any given day will turn on you.Define "turn on you". I'm not going to let you cut me in line but if you're not bothering me I'm not going to go out of my way to interact with you.
>>80079654Not me though, i find zen despite the chaos and neuroticism of everyone else
>>80081304>if you're not bothering me I'm not going to go out of my way to interact with you.Some people make other people's business their business
