Cynics happen when skeptics are right for decades, but no one will listen to them.
That’s line’s got some oomph to it
Being cynical and defeatist is a coping mechanism. Like racism, its a form of dealing with a continuously shitty situation while not addressing the real problem.
If you look at the small amount of people that drink 1000$ wine bottles for lunch while you‘re struggling to pay the rent, then you find the problem these cynics are unable to address.
I do understand. I am constantly fighting that myself. For me it’s an aspirational statement, not necessarily one I always manage to live.
Same. I mostly try to be honest with myself as I found that copium rarely is helpful. We‘re in this mess now and we can either sulk or get going. I choose to get going day after day. Hows that for aspirational statements? :)
A skeptic will seek more information. A cynic will just shit on it first and maybe (probably not) ask questions later.
I don’t think so
Good, keep going.
Do you listen to The Grey Area?
We need more sardonicism.
Classical cynics loved to ridicule society and exalt nature. Modern cynics ridicule society and exalt themselves.
A cynic that owns a mortgage and a 401k is a bigger imposter than the tourist wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the Mall of America.
