when things get too real for me_irl

For relatable posts that are too real for !me_irl. Meaning jokes/posts about mental health issues and self deprecating humour.

This is a subreddit for memes that hit too close to home or are too real for communities like !me_irl

If you have depression, talk to a therapist, it really does help. You are not alone, and recovery is possible and worth it.

If you find jokes about suicide, depression or self harm upsetting, this sub might not be the right place for you. This is a place for people who use self deprecating humor as a coping mechanism, not for those making fun of mental illness.

With that out of the way, the rules are as follows:

It is not. More education, more freedom for women to choose a life path, less kids. In some places overwhelming work culture forces this to extreme, where folks focused on career don't feel they can pursue creating a family at all.

Supremacists often tout "replacement theory" which is fake. It claims there is a conspiracy to actively flip demographics with "immigrants" (read, generally folks who aren't of their ethic group) to devalue their position in their society. In reality demographic makeup is naturally dynamic and no one is out to get them, people of all ethnicities are just living their lives.

These assholes are all over the world
