(Don’t read if you’re stressed out or upset, controversial opinion below) I have serious anxiety about saying something that will make others upset or angry. As an unhealthy coping mechanism for this anxiety, I obsessively google for controversial opinions I agree with, often for many hours on end. As part of NOCD therapy, I am supposed to share a controversial/potentially objectionable opinion with someone so I can get used to feeling the anxiety without responding with the unhealthy behavior (by resisting the behavior, over time the anxiety will decrease). And the NOCD app is a low-stakes place to do it; my therapist actually said I should do posts on here twice a day. So I’ll say something: This isn’t actually a statement I would be afraid would incite negative judgement from others, but I need to get it off my chest and if I said this to my already very stressed-out family it would stress them out more. And this is a really depressing opinion, so don’t read on if you’re in any way at risk of feeling depressed or hopeless. We’re fucked. Absolutely ZERO of the people in power care about you, or will lift a finger to stop you from dying. Bernie and AOC and the “Squad” won’t save you. Anyone and everyone you voted for or will vote for this election is a monster exclusively loyal to the 1% and the donor class, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and their own self-gain. They will let the entire world burn and be destroyed, imminently, due to climate change. All the rich politicians have bunkers in New Zealand with enough gourmet ice cream to last several lifetimes. In the past they actually had to keep their constituents alive; now they don’t, they all know the world is going to end and they’re planning to let it happen and then abandon us all to die. Every person who speaks out against it gets killed. They all have blood on their hands, they routinely assassinate ordinary people who threaten them. The head that stands out above the crowd gets chopped. What they’re most terrified of is a consensus. That’s why Huey Long, MLK, and reformed Malcolm X (no longer hates whites) were killed. They would gladly let every man, woman, and child in the U.S. (and world) starve to death or die of COVID if doing so would make them even a penny richer. They’re all in the same club together: Trump and the Clintons both palled around with Epstein, the Democrats and Republicans in Congress are secretly all friends and whenever they pretend to disagree it’s just political theatre, carefully calculated to turn the masses against each other so they don’t figure out their real, common enemy. While people can’t put food on the table, they spend way way more than all other federal spending combined on drones and missiles and bombs to deliberately kill innocent people, children, American citizens etc to make people in those countries hate America (understandably) and become terrorists who kill more innocent people, so they have an excuse to spend even more money on forever wars (they drastically increase funding during every president’s term). —Elon Musk’s SpaceX is going to be used to transport bombs across the world in an hour. —Trump deliberately wants to target and kill the families of terrorists. —Both Bush and Obama drastically increased mass surveillance and rolled back habeus corpus. As fucking evil as Trump is, he hasn’t gotten us in any more wars: if Biden is elected, he will deliberately get us into a war with Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Fucking Kamala Harris has the gall to criticize Trump’s “isolationism,” Biden has pledged to drastically balloon military funding. —The entire Bush administration are war criminals who should be rotting in prison for the rest of their lives. Instead Bush is touted as a “very good president” (even though Democrats were, rightly, saying the same things about Bush then as they are about Trump now), and Biden is filling his admin with Bush-era Neocon war criminals. In eight years, when the next Republican is president, the same people calling Trump the worst person ever (it’s true that he’s an absolute monster and there is absolutely nothing good about him, but that’s true with all of them) will be reminiscing about what a great man and president Trump was. —Trump deliberately withheld medical care and water from the children and toddlers he separated from their parents. Kids have been raped and died from his intentional cruelty and neglect. He knows about this and deliberately did it. They always know, “oh they were unaware it was happening!” Is always fucking bullshit. —Under Obama’s admin, unaccompanied minors were sold to human traffickers for rape and slave labor. —For any pro-life people: the experimental drugs that Trump used to quickly recover, which won’t be made available to any ordinary Americans because they will abandon you to die, are made from aborted fetuses. —Most Americans are nuanced on abortion (a majority are pro-choice, but with some caveats), but politicians and activists want you to believe the two sides are either “make it legal for lunatic man-hating third-wave feminists to murder babies right before or long after birth” or “outlaw and imprison any woman who seeks an abortion in any scenario, even in the case of rape or incest or if the mother will die”. —Kamala Harris deliberately withheld evidence that would have freed innocent inmates on death row; she deliberately let innocent people die when she could and should have saved them. She said schools are less important than prisons. She smoked marijuana herself, and brags about it in front of the country, but then filled her for-profit prisons with people guilty of nothing more than marijuana, to provide slave labor for corporations. She imprisoned parents whose children skipped school. She hid evidence of priests who raped children. She incarcerated drug addicts for possession of drugs, when they should be sent to rehab and given treatment. —The Bush admin did and the Trump admin is doing literally everything they can to destroy the environment and kill your kids and grandkids, to enrich themselves and their corporate donors. —Hillary is actively trying to convince half the country that she is part of an international deep state that practices satanic rituals of torturing raping children and then human sacrificing them, and drinking their blood. In a photo she took and posted of herself on social media, she intentionally placed a book of satanic art porn, to fuel the many conspiracy theories (mostly dangerous falsehoods but with some truth) that a huge percentage of Americans believe. —It feels an awful lot like a huge percentage of the activist left and Democrats would stand by and do nothing if Antifa and BLM-affiliated rioters looted every person’s livelihood, burned down every home and business, and beat up or murdered every non-rich person in America. They would cheer it on. —Trump’s cult-like base would support him if he rounded up and executed every Democrat voter in the country. —Identity politics lunacy is deliberately pushed by every media organization to turn the masses against each other, in an intentional response to the resurgent class consciousness that fueled Occupy Wall Street. —“It’s all one big club and you ain’t in it!”
