95% of human beings these days*

guys are honestly no different, its pretty disgusting


I'm gonna vouch this. Both men and women are pretty despicable.

Nobody is perfect but our society has some how become built upon being completely selfish, and we're brainwashed to think that it's ok when it's not.

No wonder why so many people are so horribly unhappy.

They're incapable of independent thought, it frightens them to consider. They just want to be accepted by the masses, going along with "consensus", no matter how ridiculous it is.
It makes them feel like the world will go on without their input, so they can do whatever they want.

It's one of the reasons why democracies can never work, the majority just try to please others - despite the fact that "social justice warriors" (people who constantly point out "racism", "sexism", etc) never question their own arguments to come to a rational world view. They never question because they think their point of view is that which is "right" and most agreeable, when in reality it is just the opposite, they create the conflict, they accentuate the problems.

The people like those in the video feel that they are doing their part in simply pushing the rhetoric of their peers. All else is unimportant, the more "qualified" people will take care of it.

Acting like this is coming from this generation.

Go back to the 70s and this was probably way worse.

I would say during the 60s/70s it was much more acceptable by both parties.
Swinging, seeing others, ect...

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” —Charles Bukowski

Not 100% sure on the accuracy of the quote, but so true regardless lol.

I was going to say close enough, but it really isn't. idk who that guy is, but he's not the person who originally said the quote you attempted.

It was Bertrand Russell and it goes like this, “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts.”

Yeah I was finding various sources for where it came from, none of which seemed very credible lol. Just remembered reading it somewhere online awhile back and it stuck with me.
