    I found out I’m different from the populace in college when a colleague told me that I reminded them of the main character from the bullet storm game. It took me until my twenties to realize I’m different. I legit thought everyone was “pro-good stuff” until then. I have been losing faith in my fellow countrymen ever since. Sometimes I think I would’ve been better being left in the dark.

      I still think most people are pro-good stuff, just that capitalism incentivises the worst behaviors and makes quite a few bad things overwhelmingly good for whoever is perpetrating them. This includes influencing/manipulating others to believe backwards, bad stuff; which one would have to do by telling them that stuff is in some way “good” actually. Whatever your framework for determining “good” from “bad”.
