What the fuck is wrong with this planet?

I'm only 23 and have only been paying attention to it for about 5 years, but I am already completely sick of politics. I just can't stand this bullshit anymore. It never fucking ends.

I have yet to see a single politician that wasn't a back-stabbing, lying, hypocritical asshole blatantly in the pocket of some industry or interest group.

Republicans, Democrats, even the so-called "independents" and third parties. All of them. All the same. It's all fucking bullshit.

What the fuck.

Obama seems like he's at least TRYING to fulfill his "Change" and "Hope" promises, but the closer I look, the more frustrated I get with the rest of the country. He's made some bad calls, sure, and I'll bet he's surprised to be making largely the same decisions as his predecessor on some issues, but at least he seems to be trying.

It was only during the past year or so that I really got into global politics. I thought, "surely the rest of the world can't be this bad." I was wrong. America may be the butt of jokes, but every other country out there has the same fundamental problems taken to different extremes.

I have come to the conclusion that the entire fucking planet is either stupid or insane. The human race is, for the most part, a vast herd of ignorant, irrational pricks. I've always had a vague sort of amazement at the stupidity of the masses, but only in the last couple years has it really hit me how massive the scale of it is.

If I could punch everyone on Earth in the dick, I would.

So that's the problem. But what's the solution? There isn't one. Not one that would bear fruit in my lifetime, anyway. We can only educate our children as best we can and hope future generations outgrow our bullshit.

I can't fucking stand it any more. I'm done.

This isn't some dumb sociology class though, it's correct and relevant. Most enlightenment authors were retarded and most things we consider modern are as old as the human brain itself, I picked out those 2 things specifically because they are right.

Though it's an interesting point that horrific events can shake people out of their complacency, it is still contradictory, especially if it results in the death or generally ruins the life of those you are trying to teach, not to mention hypocritical, it is also pointless to drag those who are not complacent into the carnage and there is also the fact you cannot judge if someone is complacent or not, you are also a fallible human being who makes mistakes.

Holocaust museums are more event based than an analysis of the human condition, they do not suggest that barbarism is universal, they only say that robots/nazis are evil.
