Spoken like someone who has experienced nerves & sadness, but hasn't suffered from anxiety or depression; someone who has had bad experiences, but not suffered from PTSD; someone who can concentrate, but CAN'T stop focusing until a task is done without suffering; someone with experiential quirks, but not suffering with autism; someone who has experience with particularities, but not suffering from OCD.
Basically, what you've exposed is that your experiences have provided you with a shallow comprehension of suffering.
And those shallow-experiences have (a)made you susceptible to a propagandist-indoctrination, which has (b)left you incapable of comprehending and adapting to something as simple as language-development (or buzzwords, as you so eloquently refer), let alone the deep-seeded roots of human-suffering.
Now, I'm not nearly implying that your experiences don't matter. But I am most certainly stating that, in contrast, the suffering of other, living-breathing humans matters equally to your watered-down experiences, if not more-so.
And neither am I implying that all, or even any of the suffering-folks require medication for their afflictions. I just happen to know that it helps some people -- some for a long time, and some for a short time after which they no longer need medication.
So, if you don't need help for or with any of your experiences, good for you (although, I disagree, and could make some suggestions). But there are most certainly people who do need help with their suffering.
And if you don't want to help, whether it's because you're incapable of comprehending or because you're vile, that's fine, too.
But stay out of the way while decent people, who do comprehend, try to help people who are suffering.

Joe is one of the people who doesn't care until it personally and directly effects his life.
Joe has held a baby. Joe knows many immigrants. And, thus, we have gems from Joe like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYUaotGw4AQ
**Edit** This was the gem I was thinking of: https://youtu.be/jP4R_MtC6vc?t=70
He's probably never been homeless, and probably doesn't have any close friends or family who have become homeless.
But generally speaking, he's just an average Joe.
He's spent most of his life clawing after, sprinting toward, and fighting for self-fulfillment. He was too busy to care.
Now that he's gotten to one level of self-fulfillment, it takes a lot of time to spend all that money. He's too busy to care.
He will be too busy to care until it effects him personally and directly.
But, even then, he might just choose to move away from the issue (like he moved from California to Texas), or he might just write people off and remove them from his life.
It will take a particular set of circumstances for Joe to care, like all the other people who prioritize self-aggrandizement over social-good and ego over altruism.
I'm not perfect, and I don't expect Joe to be. But I've been homeless, though, and I fully expect to be homeless again someday.
I'd rather be myself and poor, than be Joe and rich.
They can keep their money. It would sure be nice to just have the security of a home.

Mike Delfino -- Individuals like you are exactly why we SHOULD have cages for humans, which is difficult for me to say because I don't believe in caging humans as a means of rehabilitation.
But it is my experience that individuals with your mindset are the least capable of restoration.
Unfortunately, though, the worse-humans are in control of the 'who' and 'why' humans end up in cages, and the better-humans are most often the victims of the policies implemented by those worse-humans.
Those worse-humans are the real perpetrators of the breakdown of edifying collective-societies, in the promotion of toxic selfish-individualism.
Those worse-humans formulate the catalysts for dysfunctioning societies, in which better-humans are barely able to exist through inequality, let alone prosper by equality.
Thus, the desperate, better-humans must sometimes commit to drastic measures just to acquire the basic needs of life. Then, when better-humans still come up short, they often resort to self-destructive measures.
Those worse-humans are responsible for the conditions which create destitute groups of better-humans who are powerless to acquire necessities for themselves or to enact meaningful change within their families and communities.
Thus, we have the epidemics of sadness and depression, substance abuse and self-harm, suicide and murder, and crimes against society and humanity. These problems are the results of feelings of personal hopelessness, worthlessness, and uselessness. These feelings are the direct results of the societal conditions which are manufactured by those worse-humans.
Those worse-humans hoard wealth via the currency-systems which were created by worse-humans.
Those worse-humans obtain their wealth via the exploitation-systems which were developed by worse-humans.
Those worse-humans use their wealth and currency to exploit, oppress, and suppress better-humans.
All the while, those worse-humans are pillaging the natural resources and devastating the environment in which we all have to live.
Then, with their wealth, those worse-humans establish propaganda-systems with which they promote fear, anger, hate, violence, and genocide. With these propaganda-systems, those worse-humans turn better-humans against one another and themselves.
Those worse-humans in the wealthy-class have used their exploitation and propaganda to turn you against your poor-class, debtor-class, and working-class brothers and sisters who are better-humans.
Those worse-humans have warped your thinking to the point where you believe that someone committing suicide is the problem when, in fact, nefarious worse-humans are the problem.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
But you're not.
You kick-down at the less-fortunate and elbow side-to-side at those most like you, instead of punching-up at the worse-humans who manipulate and maintain the systems of inequality which belittle you.
You hope that the worse-humans will accept you into their club when, in reality, they have woven you into their web of lies.
You're an unabashed class-traitor and a shill for the worse-humans within the wealthy-class.
For this, some better-humans would say that you deserve the same cages as the worse-humans.

Well, maybe if the wealthy-class/RW minority (like Abigail, Rogan, Trump, & Biden) would stop conserving, & actively trying to regress to, a world that is such garbage for the working-class majority, then maybe(DEFINITELY) there would be fewer social, mental, & physical problems & anomalies.
It's a fact: When humans live in economic-equality (of opportunity & outcome), economic-justice (for all, not just some) & economic-stability (a minimum amount of, & standard for, food, clothes, & shelter), those humans, their families, & communities have fewer social, mental, & physical problems & anomalies.
But the wealthy-class/RW minority has developed systems to extract profits & pillage fortunes from the working-class majority for all of the social, mental, & physical problems.
And those same wealthy-class/RWs have used those profits & fortunes to corrupt the government, electoral,& campaign systems. And they also own the media companies, where millionaires are paid by billionaires, to propagandize & try to indoctrinate the working-class majority, while pushing the candidates & policies for the benefit of the wealthy-class/RW minority.
Most, if not all, of the problems that Abigail, Rogan, & wealthy-class/RWS complain about can be solved by themselves. All they have to do is undo their own lifestyle-addictions and reverse their own policy-positions. But they won't. The worst addicts will NEVER willingly give up their addictions. Some will do anything to maintain their addiction -- and I mean ANYTHING.
Whether people realize it or not, the wealthy-class benefits from the suffering of the working-class, and they absolutely, purposely & purposefully include the suffering of children. And wealthy-class/RWs will do ANYTHING to maintain their profit-pillaging addiction from that suffering -- and I do mean ANYTHING.

Fools and Knaves
Joe is a rich guy, yet he realizes greedy people are the problem. Not just the greedy, wealthy-knaves, but the greedy, poor-fools too. Joe realizes that the greedy, poor-fools make good pawns and shills for greedy, wealthy-knaves. Greedy fools are dumb enough to believe that one day they can be greedy and wealthy instead of just greedy and poor. This belief by the poor-fools is what turns poor-fools into poor-pawns. Joe is rich, but he's smart enough to know he'll never be wealthy, and I think he's smart enough to not want to become wealthy because I think he realizes that excessive wealth is what corrupts people.
Joe said he is likely supporting Bernie Sanders. Joe said he doesn't mind paying more in taxes. Joe isn't a greedy, wealthy-knave or greedy poor-fool. Joe understands he is lucky -- luckier than you and luckier than most people -- yet Joe is humble in his good fortune, and he is willing to contribute more of his money in taxes to help benefit the team.
It doesn't surprise me that you don't understand these things. I mean, you are promoting "the festival of ignorance" -- you don't even understand how Fox is against your own best interest, and how Joe now argues for your best interest.
You think it's 'Red vs. Blue' because you've been dumbed-down by right-wing propaganda. You don't even know that right-wing economics promotes policies that help make the rich get richer and you get poorer, and left-wing economics promotes policies that help make people more equal. You've been educated by schools that were under-funded on purpose because of those right-wing economic policies. The same authoritarian, right-wing policies which disallowed slaves from learning are the same authoritarian policies that have reduced you to the level of an ignorant Uncle-Tom. Right-wing economic policies only work if there are stupid poor people to prop up the smarter wealthy people. You're so dumb, you don't even know what socioeconomic-class you belong to. You're so dumb, you would give up your own family and neighbors for just a few more crumbs from the master's table, or a few more platitudes to coddle your attitude.
It's not 'Red vs. Blue' -- this isn't neanderthal-sports-ball. Isn't it interesting how a rich jockey like Joe knows he's not on the wealthy-team and never will be, and somehow you've been duped into thinking you already are on the wealthy team? Here's a clue: wealthy-knaves don't comment on Youtube videos, their poor-foolish pawns comment on Youtube videos. I'm sure wealthy-knave Martha McCallum is happy to have you as a poor-foolish pawn to promote her wealthy-class economic policies while detracting from your own best interest.
Speaking of teams, watch this. Maybe realize which team you're on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjSHffIbVMA
Oh yeah, another thing. CNN isn't a left-wing news outlet. CNN and the DNC are both economically-right-wing, like Fox News. The 'establishment political parties' -- both the Republicans and Democrats -- are economically right-wing parties. Both parties argue and compromise for the same pro-wealthy-people & anti-poor-people economic policies as Fox News.
The only difference between CNN and the DNC, and Fox and the RNC, is that CNN and the DNC are slightly more socially-liberal. The RNC wants to be able to discriminate against the people who they don't like, and the DNC wants to sell to anyone. The RNC only wants to deal with people who believe the same things the RNC believes, while the DNC wants to deal with anyone. The difference between the present Democratic and Republican parties is so small, only misinformed people think there is a difference. Unfortunately, most Americans are misinformed, while the rest of the first-world countries laugh at us. Most Americans are tricked. They think they have freedom of political choice, and they only have two parties to choose from. Nearly every other first-world country has multiple political parties -- some countries have as many as ten political parties to freely choose from.
You're probably fully confused now.
The most important thing to remember: It's not 'Red vs. Blue' like the wealthy people want you to believe. It's the '1% vs 99%' -- masters vs. slaves, lords vs. vassals, royals vs. peasants, employers vs. employees, the owners vs. the owned.
Joe realizes he isn't part of the 1%. Joe has evolved over his years of conversing with people who are smarter than him, like Lee Camp.
If Joe can realize it and evolve, if a lowly peasant like me can, then there is hope for you. You don't have to be a fool who is dumb enough to be a pawn for wealthy-knaves. Joe isn't giving up on fighting for all people, including you, and neither am I.
