American politics is just primitive us-versus-them bullshit. People who don't benefit in any way devote their time/money/energy to douchebags who make almost 200k a year. Politicians should earn minimum wage and maybe get Kinko's stipends for their stupid posters.
Having said that, I find it interesting that the group who bitches about, "cancel culture," actively bans books and are trying to ban teaching of post-slavery history in America. Simultaneously, state legislatures are passing voting bills that are reminiscent of Jim Crow laws in the past. Both sides like calling each others Nazis, but let's not forget that Nazi policies, leading up to the Holocaust, were heavily inspired by Jim Crow policies.
The people who make fun of political correctness call their batshit-insane beliefs, "alternative facts."
I need to do something fulfilling career-wise that requires critical thinking, so I don't end up in a grind of working/drinking/believing in weird shit.
Humans are meant to be physical and cognitive. Exercising helps satisfy the physical part but people often work jobs where they aren't really using their brain. Since, they don't use critical thinking, they start diving into conspiracy theories or counterfactuals, which can't be proven or disproved. Their brains are releasing endorphins as if they are learning when they're just consuming bullshit.
