    Because he is convinced they are on the same team. He is just a temporaryly embarrassed millionaire. He might get his too. Spoiler, he won’t.

      If mental healthcare were more widespread, available and good quality, a lot more people would really be something like that. Many of them not embarrassed anymore.

      There are reasons our current time is so … overloaded with junk and depressed. A lot more threats to one’s mental health and triggers for otherwise less notable conditions have emerged, but everyone was like “it’s just the Internet, common sense doesn’t apply there, it’s all toys and not real”.

      My comments are a good example of someone who would be stronger (not a millionaire, I’m afraid of power) should they go offline completely. Quite lonely though and unable to scream out my opinions about civilization going to hell at least in text T_T.

      There’s such thing as critique. We usually talk about it as something good. The issue is - in society there’s your side and the other side. It’s just life and humanity. When you allow yourself to feel too much shame and guilt, or allow your approval of actions of your group to replace your own action, dropping your own “me” and the responsibility of that “me” stemming from there being no justification for your position except your decision only - you lose.

      Parents 20 years ago would teach their children to say “no” and to stand tall, but they didn’t have to explain how it scales for Internet echo chambers because there were none. Ultimately there’s only you. You can’t do anything, even think, without taking full responsibility. Internet communities make that appear contested, but in reality it isn’t.

      That’s the most important problem of our time. The rest people standing tall and taking responsibility for everything they do will fix.
