    My step-brother and I weren’t family until a decade ago. He goes into incel mode and projects his insecurity by hating on everybody.

    But today, he shared this with me about something he wants to get better at as he was getting tired of being angry all the time.

    So hopefully this message gets across to more people.

          Clearly…Do you know how kind words work.

          I’m an angry individual lately due to society’s failings and being constantly lied to and jerked around with ally business dealings…thanks for reinforcing the stereotype of society crumbling under capitalism. Really helps when I’m trying to be a different person. No reply needed.

            Right? Literally nothing nefarious about my comment. OBVIOUSLY I comprehend the basics of siblings, it was more of a comment for their brother who is upset. More of a they have always been family/loved/have purpose comment.

            Going through extreme depression, lack of faith in humanity and seeing society crumble under the weight of capitalism, sometimes these fluffy comments are all someone needs.

            Anywho, enjoy your day

              I have never appreciated the idea that family members have some inherent inalienable value, honestly, so I kind of retaliated against that I think.
