Everyone longs for a sense of community.
I’m skeptical that a lot of these people are fully practicing what they preach at this point. Seems like some of more self aware but just don’t want to give up the community they found years ago.
It’s also Reddit so it wouldn’t surprise me if all of this shite is made up like every other subreddit

Your neighbor found himself a meal ticket and doesn't want the gravy train to stop rolling.

No, they’re fricked up and so are you for trying to defend them.

One problem is sort of the internet contagion. You have a serious hang up on COVID, maybe you come by it totally honestly. You go looking for support/kinship. You get it. The place you get it is Reddit.
Reddit, as we know, isn't a place filled with normal people. It's a place where being trans or "neurodivergent" is a ticket for entry. I'm not making fun, but that type of stuff is social capital on Reddit. So you find your crew of likeminded people on this issue, and you end up part of community of people deranged in many more ways than just COVID.
I went down a sad wormhole on X a few weeks ago. Somehow some sort of self harm/eating disorder hashtag got into my feed, and if you start clicking these hashtags, it leads to some really creepy/sad places. Both degenerate stuff and just harmful (mostly to self I suppose) stuff. But I think it's pretty clear how the pathology works, you get into a little subculture and immerse yourself in it, and others in the subculture are involved in even more destructive subculture, you explore that, it comes with cache with the group, etc.
It's not necessarily different than group dynamics generally, but there is a much larger percentage of young people who just aren't "touching grass" as a way to let light in. The picture of the Kirk shooter when he got his first computer comes to mind.

What an utterly ridiculous fagmoid. I am literally embarrassed for these people.
Posted on 3/26/26 at 11:06 am to TheOcean
Who cares. Let these people stay locked in their homes while life passes them by

Depression is absolutely a health problem (though, not sure how you separate these concepts). It's akin to diabetes: the body is not making enough (or making too much) of a chemical and outside intervention is necessary to normalize it.

To be fair, at this point I’m betting a lot of those posts are trolls or bots

I tell myself this so I have some hope in humanity, but deep down I know it's not the case.

You should move, but I think you either drank the kool aid, or you took Pfizer money.

That's the rational that has millions on SSRI's they don't need, when it's closer to a couple thousand that ACTUALLY need it. If you mean it's an incredibly self inflicted "disease" like Type 2 Diabetes that has fed families in the health care industry...then yeah it's just like diabetes. Outside intervention is...money please!!
