Oddly, I’m doing okay in an Alan Watts sort of way. Global, local, everything feels like a dance. I should be panicked, but somehow I’m not.
P.S. My company (Yolo Group) just started layoffs. Is it weird that I’m calm?

Wait. I’m kinda pissed at YouTube’s bloody thumbnails and titles, Jesus, no one respects language anymore. It’s all fake.

#35Down. The end of the world is on the horizon and everyone is partying and having a great time. Isn't anyone concerned that we are going extinct soon?
Fear not! Dear Leader just assured the UN General Assembly that climate change is the biggest, most insidious hoax and con job in the history of humanity. And he's really great at this stuff.

#36It's difficult even being someone not from United States. Even more concerning is how most of the social media has been hijacked to echo views that should have been unthinkable a few years ago. For some, it's great news of course. It's free speech—they think. But, I am not sure future generation needs to across opinions like feminism is bad, or women belong in the kitchen. I do believe that this is a temporary phase,…
“ Secondly, the support for these movements mostly stems from an aging demographic, a lot of which are just passing their last few years.”
Is there data backing this? Because i feel like there’s also a large young segment (esp young men) who support this current administration and what they stand for

#37This post sounds like an intentional, targeted probe to harvest sentiment and feed it as input somewhere.
I mean it was intentional and targeted. I know some of the smartest people frequent HN and it's one of the few places left to have a productive conversation. I'm definitely taking this input to refine my worldview, not farming though.

#38I'm really confused with myself. I should feel horrible. Things are going downhill for me for years, but I don't seem to hit rock bottom. I wonder how much worse it has to get for me to ... idk what - break down, learn from it, realize or something. I've been diagnosed with depression a couple years back (had a couple therapy sessions too), but I don't feel as dark as back then. I'm somewhat numb and apathetic. Lots of self-pity, I guess, but I don't seem to learn anything from it and that is really weird.

I can't image you'd get a relevant assertion from a hundred (optimistic) replies from a random Hackernews thread.

Can you provide any specific examples of this "period of extreme leftist opinions"? I can't see this as anything but a non-legitimate comment due to this line. Where the hell has there ever been such a thing? At best I see it as a period of right leaning centrism.
