Continually voting in people who make the rich richer and the rivers more polluted.

Nothing, man. Being that upset over something you have no control over takes too much energy for no reward.

The actions of a country's government are not damning of the people who live there. They're usually victims of their government too.

We forgave Germany, and it was the right thing to do.

That being said, I'll never forgive Take 2 for killing KSP2.

The Australian Government for not taxing the gas giants enough

The existence of billionaires

How being a good person never pays off basically. We evolved as individuals, and only individualism pays off in the way our species organized itself. Yet I evolved differently somehow so fuck me?

The utter depravity of animal agriculture.

How many billions of animals are brought into this world each year just to suffer through absolute shithole conditions and brutal deaths to end up as some shitty truckstop or vending machine sandwich. Or simply thrown out in the trash for any number of reasons.

Aside from the appalling and unfathomable animal cruelty, it is also enormously destructive to the environment.

The way everything has been stupefied. Half of adults can't read or write at a functional level. If they can't read how do they fact check?

I am sure public schools have been deliberately made worse because a dumber population is easier to control.

I just don't know how to prove it.

I don't know if the priorities of our governments were always fucked, or are fucked now. We keep constructing infrastructure as if all construction is good, while polluting our land, water and air. Yet, despite the consequences of our actions are staring us in our faces, our governments refuse to change, as if consequences are not their responsibility anymore.

I see people living like zombies for a monthly paycheck and I ask what is worth this type of terrible life. Not to mention that they still barely afford, either financially or due to time, healthy habits, etc.

Human history up through current events

Why people think ai is either the second coming of Christ or the devil. It is software. Not a lot different from when the internet showed up and when smartphones showed up. It is handy for some things, not for all.

I'm angry that there is still poverty in the world. We have the resources to end poverty but society just chooses not to. People like Musk are allowed to hoard money like dragons. Musk and a few other people have more money than they can POSSIBLY use while people are needlessly starving. He could give away millions and still be obscenely wealthy with more money than he can use. Countries could save money by implementing universal basic income but people are stuck on this notion that people won't work unless they're under threat of starvation and that people shouldn't have their basic needs unless they earn them. Capitalist society is set up with the notion that people need to earn the right to live, making those who aren't earning money feel worthless while millionaires are allowed to live without contributing much to society.

The idea that countries need to compete with eachother for resources and power and stuff. We're smart enough to put robots on Mars but we're still dumb enough to burn our limited resources fighting eachother to get control of those resources. We really should know better. Especially since we all now know that this bullshit is quickly making our planet uninhabitable for us.

I thought once we had the internet easily available to everyone, the borders would just sorta dissolve as we all understood that people are people everywhere and we can all start trading information, ideas and actual goods directly with eachother, but all thats seemed to happen is amplifying our worst traits and shoving them in our faces round the clock.

We're not going to make it, and as one of the "we" i cant help but feel somehow complicit.

Oh, man, where to start? The tribal nature of humanity is a core problem in our psychology that leads to so many different problems in modern society, it’s difficult to even fathom. We just aren’t evolved to live in a society this large. We’re also grossly myopic and don’t act to fix problems that we know are coming but aren’t right in front of us yet. Then there’s the fact that we have advanced science and yet tons of us still subscribe to religion.

I don’t know if contempt for humanity is right phrase for what I feel, but I definitely consider myself a misanthrope. Disappointment might be more accurate.

Trump's presidency, the lack of accountability worldwide, and women's treatment worldwide.

I find it very difficult to cope with the constant needless cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals practiced gleefully by every carnist around me.

"Please list everything bad about this world"

Bruh, there's already enough doomerism in c/worldnews, no need for that energy in c/asklemmy
