Modern society is worrying.
It's so much easier, so much more cathartic to just give up and shut yourself out and rant about it outside its fortress of steel walls and glass domes. Many people do that. I know many people who do that.
They label themselves. "Freak". "Born loser". "Boliao". It's fashionable to label yourself, stigmatise yourself, discriminate against yourself. Heck, self-deprecation isn't the exception now, it's the norm. People swear at themselves like there's no tomorrow. They trip up for no apparent reason, because it's the in-thing. They look normal but no, no one's normal any more. Nothing is normal.
Not even ranting. Ranting nowadays is about a mass of angsty self-contradictory phrases thrown together like, I don't know, flour, sugar and eggs?
I'm ranting now. I should stop.

same comment. Enlightening perhaps, eloquent and well put, but what's it do?
what's it do?
um... social commentary? lamenting the collapse of sanity as we know it?
yeah, i know. social commentary. but if you want that you can put it more lucidly. social commentary may need to be longer, or more condensed if I'm going to get a good sense of not just what you're saying, but the details thereof. And its impact.
you're missing one central point in all your comments. It doesn't have to have a point, it can just be what it is.
It can, but writing needs to have a purpose.
Adam, you little Nazi you. Take your "purpose" and shove it up your ass.
On a more civil note, flour, sugar and eggs? You make it sound like a piece of cake.
