/dep/ - Depression

That's the normal state of humanity. Also did you imply that you are on
>multiple drugs and getting therapy?
Because if so good luck waiting until your life improves.

If you've been keeping up with normies the last 10 years have culled them. let's say if 80% of people were normies in 2005, now it's barely 50%. The rest are now failed-normies or whatever term you want to use. Most people are isolated or turned crazy

2020 have done A LOT to keep normies … well, not so normalcy-oriented, if we remember it right

>>305190
this is interesting
I always wondered what the "society is collapsing" posters really meant

2020 was a great divide. It pushed many people into extremisms, whether it be politically, socially, deviancy or in any other manner you can think of. Very few people have a "Oh well that happened xD" as their true feelings about the lockdowns, I overhear 1,000's of coworkers and customers talk about it over the years. One group that got extremely nudged to insanity were small business owners, imagine working hard in a bakery you are putting blood sweat and tears into just for it to be forcibly closed. Your stock goes to waste, your rent/lease still needs to be paid and you're given like 10% of your actual earnings for compensation. Forced to sell up or give up, all the while McDonalds and KFC could still operate selling that genetically modified and chemically enhanced normie slop.

I do too, I believe it's how Westerners are embracing LDAR (Lay down and rot) whilst 3rd worlders happy to work for peanuts take over and then those in charge inevitably make us corrupted (even more so) shit hole nations. Seeing a doctor in 2005 was easy, took 1 hour. In 2035 it'll take all day and cost all you have. Same with ALL services, unless you can pay your way to shortcut it. Good luck with that, as the min wage will have no purchasing power at all aside from enough to keep you alive to work another day, and that's if we are lucky.

Rough times ahead for all of us. Looks like the Elite will finally have humans domesticated like cattle soon.

>>305279
Oh yeah.

truly, 2020 was a great divide. All and all, I was on the lucky side in 2020 so got to experience the "haha normies getting rekt", "haha antivaxxers be mad", "haha oxford vaccine project rekt" haha fun and next to none of the "when will this eeeeeeend???" woe.

I took a lot of pleasure watching the moronic cattle freak out. It was kind of scary to realize how easily they can actually be manipulated en masse though. Several reports of succubi ending their lives after 2 days of not being able to socialize. How weak, and these people vote? These people have says in our day to day lives in the workforce? Disgusting. I sadly did have to work during those lockdowns and I was pissed off about my country saying how kind and smart we all are for following the rules, and how our people know how to behave. Meanwhile everyone was acting like an animal with rabies. I am grateful for this event further entrenching me in my wizard life beliefs, I feel no shame in being an outcasted hermit who only operates in society when I have to. Not looking forward to the next mass hysteria event, I have a feeling it will be a lot more serious whether in terms of the actual threat, or the restrictions imposed on us.

try keeping some canned food around + cycling it (think of ⅛ of you supply per season, that gives 24 months to cycle your stash of your canned food supply)

I'm pretty sure they're going to make euthanasia laws lax in a few years time. MAID in Canada is already serving as a harbinger, and that's basically only killing off the elderly, despite what conservatives are fearmongering about.

I don't even think normie millennials know what's coming. The west's welfare state is completely unsustainable, the US is already sitting at 120% Debt/GDP, countries like the UK and France at 100%. The Greece styled welfare system collapse will come exactly around the time whites are a minority, and third world populations are a majority. If nothing changes, this is as deterministic as a marble rolling down a hill. You think they're going to want to pay pensions that are 80% of minimum wage to the already rich elderly of another race?

When Greece collapsed, the government agreed to a 40% reduction in pension payments as part of the austerity package. And this was a country with the rest of the EU helping them out. When western countries go, there won't be that stop-gap. That's the entire retirement village business model done for, they'll have no choice but to start euthanising as so many of the people in there will be childless.

This isn't even getting into the "Day of the pillow" rhetoric you're already seeing with the boomers. Boomers, for all their faults, are psychologically healthy, have a healthy work ethic, are in good physical shape for their age generally, and didn't get one shotted by tech addiction until old age. Most seem to delay retirement and try to keep working after 65, NEETdom was rare to the point of non-existent with their generation at the start. What do you think younger generations are going to think of the 10-20% giga-NEETs in the millennial generation? Who feel entitled to cling onto the lifestyle they grew up with, all the while there are no NEETbux for the youth. Already people are resentful that we won't get pensions like boomers, but the next generation will see millennials as living a likewise spoiled lifestyle.



I think the millennials with children will be fine, but the childless ones will be almost as fucked as we are. They'll be a hostile, despised minority, in a world without pensions. Filled with people who are eager to kill them off. There likely will be a day of the pillow. People underestimate how severe, how sharp, and how catastrophic the low birthrate problem is. And yes, it is normies. So many normie families I know have all their daughters NEETing at home, or doing the manchild mode of just working part time at McDonalds while wasting that money on UberEats each night. The decline we're witnessing is being hidden by everyone coasting on the accumulated boomer wealth. Once that's inherited and slurped up, it'll be obvious how fucking poor western countries are.

Normalfags are retards, they deserve to be lobotomized and robbed by the big pharma. I don't know why you would care what zombies think about you, of all people.
>>305190
2020 felt like a vacation to me, since I didn't even have to pretend to be social or go outside and I got to witness just how fragile and retarded normalfags really are when they are forced to sit at home. Not that I didn't actually go outside either since I have to work out, but I did switch to cardio ie jogging around that time, but even the gymrat normalfags had trouble adjusting when the workout centers closed. Now even the zoomies that have kids raised them so poorly that they can't even read books without trying to swipe them like a tablet

When the next lockdown like event happens, the next generation is going to be even more hopeless, especially if an EMP wipes out all electronics. I like to think people here will survive without them as we can still remember a time before smartphones/tablets, these kids? No chance.

>>305443
Most definitely. They have been having fierce debate and even a vote on euthanasia in my country. To my understanding it's already an option in Canada and Netherlands, I've heard stories about how teenagers with "depression" have had it done, or had it offered. It's very clear our nations can't keep welfare up. I've been told by multiple people, economists and politicians that people under the age of 50 should not expect to get a pension. We will turn into dystopian nightmares where people will just be laying in the streets, most likely to be kidnapped and harvested for our organs.

The future seems very bleak at best, though it's most likely going to be a living nightmare with no breaks. I kind of hope I can take myself out in a controlled way if it ever gets that bad. My country is considered a great place to live and while there is SOME truth to that, it's already hard enough for me to function in this world as it is. The last 10 years has drastically destroyed our quality of life. Food alone has had a 50% increase in price just from 2024. I work in a supermarket and can confirm that it's mostly accurate. Saving our money wont do shit either with the massive inflation and extra taxes we are forced to submit to. Perhaps it will buy us a few months or years of comfort over the ones without savings. These very savings that we were told would last us into retirement. Even now my net worth is shrinking despite the number going higher. Bread has literally tripled in price, milk is about 20% more expensive, other dairy has an easy 100% increase. But hey those imported chips are still 99 cents so guess I can eat poison!!

how is killing people gonna make west richer

>>305651
80% of the wealth in the west is generated by like 20% of the working people. Covid shut down everything and we seen how few people society actually depends upon.

>>305655
If that's the case, that's terrifying. The government and oligarchs want nothing more than to min-max profits at any expense. If that means cutting out jobs, what are the 80% of the population who aren't productive to GDP are supposed to do? Starve on the street?

My therapist claims most of the people she sees have nothing wrong with them and are just going through a breakup or something. She moves my appointments forward into their slots if she can.

The entire mental health and therapy and anti depressants thing is basically a meme. Normalfags eat tons of crap, work meaningless jobs and dont exercise and scroll reels all day and then they think they have le depression because they feel dissatisfied with it all. Dont take it too seriously.

>>305657
I genuinely think they are mentally deteriorating though. I notice it most especially with boomers since smart phones proliferated. They've really become like imageboard users in that they're dogmatic, argumentative and terminally online.

Like Grandma used to watch TV a lot when her health deteriorated. But even then it was just horse racing and dumb British soap operas. Now my mum is approaching the same age and she's got CNN blasting 24/7, ranting about trump, and thinks celebrities are talking to her on facebook.

The retirement homes here suck up the pension + supported living payment and leave the people in them with $30 per week to themselves. I know this because my friend's mom with dementia recently got placed in one and my friend helped organize it. Supported living payment is like a form of welfare that's given to the poors because the pension and disability allowance can't cut it for most people. Supported living payment + pension is like 80% of what minimum wage is after tax at 40 hours a week.

If the system is strained with this amount of money being thrown at the problem, then when austerity comes they genuinely will have no choice but to euthanize them.

People also severely underestimate how bad the population problem here is now. Why do you think you see Indians everywhere? Because they need young bodies to keep the lights on.

>>305658
Those retirement homes are some of the biggest scams out there. My grandmother was extremely rich, but sadly also stupid and mentally ill. She probably lost a couple million USD during her 3 year stay in one. The inheritance was basically 10k for each sibling when she died. Happened when I was 8 or so, found out just recently. It's quite infuriating that we could have had a decent safer life with that money put into good investments.
