Why do they do this to people. At least teach people that life is actually just chaos masked with a thin veil of hope that's marketed for power and control.

I can't enjoy anything. Everyone is either extremely naive, extremely far gone, or living war life because they understand chaos is now.

Why are people surprised at how shitty things are worldwide? It's literally because all of us don't do anything at all that would ever make real change in this world.

The realest most truthful thing I've learned in my 30+ years is that heartlessness brings success. That's the dominating national ideology masked by the white picket fence dreams of a past that's purely nostalgia. These old people act like things were different but the fact is that they just believed the bullshit and didn't know what the [some] youth knows now. They got played out and are willing to kill the future generations so that they can go on pretending it was a humble life in the past.

Like the old hippies that partied wreckless and abused useful drugs until they were illegalized.

Just some music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enQsdbcMOiQ&t=9

I'm so depressed right now I can't pay attention to anything.

Your post is riddled with externalized all-or-nothing thinking. You're going to hate this, but you're thinking yourself into a worse depression.

Yeah. I agree. But it's not something I can stop. I need to get mindfulness/meditation lessons.

Depression is horrible. The insidious way it creeps up on us and inhabits our lives. One method for avoiding it is to remove sources of negativity. Chief among them are news and social media. Spending time in daylight and the wilderness is something that is often lacking in the winter months. Maintain a good sleep pattern, exercise and diet. Doing basic things well provides the best chance for equanimity. Happy people attract other people and friendship becomes a backstop for mental health. Be alert to the existence of underlying psychological disorders, seek expert advice.
