Americans are the most frightened people on earth.
No it's really only the old stupid people
Unfortunately, that's the majority of Americans.
Americans are afraid of each other
They're afraid of someone knocking on the door
They're afraid their boss will fire them and they will lose their health insurance
They're afraid of other countries
I spend a lot of time in the US, and I've never seen anywhere with people constantly on edge. They're so used to it that they don't notice any more
I've never seen anywhere so ruled by fear
They are afraid of people in public transit.
Their fear of others also drives them to get bigger and bigger cars, causing them to become even more detached from anyone who is not already close to them.
Everything is an arms race, and life is seen as a zero-sum game
Well if I was standing next to someone called "FistingEnthusiast" I might be quite fearful myself!
I'm harmless
That's exactly what a fisting enthusiast would say. >:(
i think they seem nice
Thank you!
:3
Maybe they just enjoy throwing their fist in the air in solidarity at things, or just merely fist bumping people? Harmless! βοΈ
It's all consensual.
When looking at the social anxiety epidemic across America, very much affecting young people, Iβm sorry to say this is not true.
People think theyβre unique in not wanting to pick up a phone to order a meal from a restaurant, but itβs everyone now. SO many people want to minimize social contact to an extreme degree. Itβs part of why political opposition to rampant oppression is so lack luster.
