I grew up in a household dominated by that hard Left mindset, that is, everything is terrible, depression is normal if not desirable, every election is the end of the world is "we" lose, I'm a terrible person because I'm male (told to me by my own family!) and so on. And all this was before the internet. I have to work daily to overcome all those poisons to have a simple, calm and productive life.

And all that was poured into me before the internet was even invented. I have no idea how we heal the millions that get a continuous message of external-locus hell. I suppose by setting the example and doing what we can to talk the ones around off the ledge, metaphorically speaking.
