What exactly do you propose I do about the portion of our alarming mental health crisis that is directly due to untreated addiction other than vote for the party that sort of wants to address it over the party that absolutely does not give a shit about it? …if you say donate my time to the men’s shelter I will laugh in your face bc you have no idea what I am already doing (which I assume is more than you [zero])

Todays younger generation is so riddled with historical amnesia that they cant form a nuanced understanding of their own situation. **(Historical Amnesia "refers to the tendency of younger generations to be less aware of or interested in historical events that occurred before their lifetimes. It can also imply a sense of entitlement or a belief that their generation is the most important or significant in history.")
