I hate society for the same reasons plus more. One of the things that really irks me is that people SHOULD be helping each other through hard times but we prefer to ignore all the problems other human beings are having out of pure selfishness. It's like everyone is always thinking "Better them than me".

And it feels to me like things are getting worse with each passing year. I feel like people are more openly racist and sexist now than they used to be and everybody is cool with that.

Sometimes I wish that society would collapse like in an old zombie movie or something.

Well history shows that every civilization like Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Rome collapses eventually and I'm 100% positive that ours won't be any different from those. The time will come eventually and we will get what's coming to us.

Haha I don't believe in God, but I think that if he did exist he would look down on us with utter disgust and he would have ended the world a long time ago. :P

I chaff against all that, in my opinion all those expectations should be destroyed, we should topple the modernity and live in tribes. In the meantime though I’m happy using my spare time to learn and play whenever my body doesn’t get stuck( my back basically freezes up preventing my whole body from moving basically it’s temporary paralysis), or I’m in one of my more manic-y moods

it is but with the added dimension of inter/intra-relational complexity plus something approximating "the ghost in the machine."

Traditional, relatively isolated tribal societies have social expectations too, in some ways far more rigid than the expectations of modern society. In today's society, people who feel alienated from the mainstream can at least look for subcultures of fellow oddballs, and, if necessary, build their own new subcultures. Doing the latter has become easier and easier thanks to advances in technology.

There's a lot I'd like to change, though. For one, it seems politicians are a pretty useless bunch who for the most part don't deserve to be in charge. I'm not American so if an alien landed next to me and asked me to take him to my leader, at least I wouldn't have to take him to see Trump. Even if I were American I wouldn't, as the orange leader would probably shoot first before listening to the important message about global and climate change the emissary from the Pleiades wants to share with him!

The money system needs to be drastically overhauled, among other things. Everyone should have access to decent health care. There should be absolutely no wastage of food when others are starving.

That may be true but it's very general. Most people aren't as put together as they appear on the outside and have no idea what they want to do with their lives, many people just do what they feel pressured to do to make their parents proud and then pretend to be happy in social media etc.

None of my friends care for what we are "supposed" to do. There is no reason to compete if you don't want to.
It's usually the people who doesn't care about competing who are the happiest and those who compete who end up having to take pills to continue pushing themselves hard to be the best and earn the most money to buy the most expensive stuff and then eventually crash and have a meltdown.

I went to school for a large portion of my life with rich kids, myself being the opposite of that. I was bullied of course but they also bullied each other and were were unhappy, always competing with each other and putting each other down but if you look at their social media they look super put together and happy and close. I was bullied by them because I wouldn't compete but since I left them behind nearly 10 years ago i've avoided people like that and met a lot of genuine people instead who care about the things that are actually important in life - the things that makes us happy rather than what is expected by society.

We are society and only we can change it and we do so by not conforming so just do what you wanna do and ignore anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.
