Can We Just Agree that Everything is Fake? The American Aristocracy is Real.

92. Admittedly, that was poorly worded on my part

and I do understand that people are hurting, and that social media is very valuable in finding community and shoulders to lean on, as many people are very much alone with their troubles. Recognizing that, and having gone through quite a bit of it myself over the years, I would still focus on effective remedies rather than momentary band-aids.

As I mentioned above, when one is doing poorly or feels rejected and unfairly treated, it feels very good to fall back on the "its all BS", all fake, all rigged or phony posture. That's what I see in the OP, and its exactly what does no good at all in practice. When I was in the worst shape there was depression, substance abuse, poor health, and a general bad attitude that fed the whole cycle of behavior perpetuating those conditions. "Its all BS" was an attitude that felt good then, but fed the source of the problems. It didn't help at all.
