Is there any way to knock people out of the stupor they are in about the culture of lies? If there is any other reasonable person, what do you do in an environment such as this? perpetual toxicity overflow without escape? that's all??

Money talks

Lack of money sounds like: Blah, blah, blah, blah

I talk to this person personally.

Ever consider the possibility that you're the problem, not everyone else? :|

I thought the OP was talking about frustration with the "fake news" issues in the US. But maybe not.

I suppose your answer could fit either way, although that would be pretty scary.

Suggesting theres a lack of reasonable people in the US at the moment. Remember you have elected a president who gets his news from a far right publication called Brietbart. Americans either have collective amnesia or temporarily thrown morality aside while they flirt with conservative populism and believe the rants of a billionairre madman

It is absolutely impossible to decipher what you are talking about.

Can you please elaborate?

What do you mean? Give examples please.

That was my first impression, as well.  What is the single most common factor in the OP's experiences with 'everyone' being unreasonable?  The OP himself, of course!

You could take the point of view that if everyone else is content with illusion then you get to have reality all to yourself.

I just wish there was a reasonable person to interact with ever. It makes me sick to witness all the scum of this reality.
it's really bizarre to see the f*****g nonsense that people try to relate.

There must be some way to force my experiences to end forever so I can escape from the nightmare that you are all cohabiting.

If your age is true, you may be experiencing autistic burnout.
Stay calm. Rest.

Please, elaborate, what particular experiences you mean.

how could I rest or be calm when my environment is toxic and everyone around me is completely insane?

I am not even remotely willing to try and discuss something like this with anyone or to try to explain myself to people anymore. I have already learned plenty enough about humans and their lack of attention to reality.

Then what makes you feel entitled to have anyone care about your issue, let alone assist you?

So far you're supporting my hypothesis that you're in fact the unreasonable one.
