<p>He/they ("he" pretty much only because I sadly lack the courage of giving up the safety that passing as cis-male brings).<br />Mentally ill, maybe some sort of neurodiverse (clinical tests show me right at the edge of not quite, so???)<br />Opposed to bigotry due to an intersectional, humanist worldview (naturally, I am also afraid of exclusion if I diverge too far from the norms of the groups/society I live in, I hope to be better but it's never been really put to the test so far)</p>

The rising stupidity of the world (as seen below) kind of fits into theories of strain and anomy and the like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_theory_(sociology) As many people still adhere to social goals (e.g. wealth) but are less and less able to achieve them through approved means (e.g. hard work), we would expect to see a rise both in frequency and intensity of illegitimate means of achieving said goals (e.g. gambling, fraud, get-rich-quick schemes etc.)

@benroyce I feel that so much, I also like to always bring up, whenever somebody here in Germany gets nostalgic for the "good old times", that back then we had a wealth tax and train, postal, and telecommunication services were nationalized. Gets some prizeless looks 😁
