8. I don't understand the appeal of playing the victim

I feel happier personally when I think that I have net been lucky-people have generally mostly been decent etc.. I am not fond of large corporations, sleazy interest groups etc. But honestly, I hate the times I was ..I guess unwell enough to feel aggrieved..at people or the world. It is a very unpleasant headspace..

No one has to be into positive thinking or pollyannaishness..it is next to impossible these days if you are informed..but this inane querulousness by a lot of fairly well off people is baffling.



It happens to everyone at times..especially people who have downturns in life..But I don't get being far from shat on..hell a goddamn billionaire born with a fucking diamond spoon in your mouth and still whinging about how you are oppressed, censored and so on..
I can't stand Musk..he makes me feel relatively charitable towards zuckcreep creep and larry page..

It is an essentially histrionic headspace..either a hero..or a victim..self lionization followed by angst..why anyone would enjoy such dreary drivel beats me..if you are stuck like that by default it is hellish..to choose to be like that as Musk etc do..beyond bizarre...
