I seriously wonder how much sociopolitical aggression is driven by the dearth of outlets for the significant fears & loss inherent in adult life. Vulnerability w/o a hashtag to sell its purpose to some larger movement doesn’t feel welcome, but the dull, common pains matter too
Specifically, which of these do you think are stable? I) The challenges of adult life 2) The social coping mechanisms available to struggling people I think it’s probably easier to make a case for the stability of 1 than for 2, but both are complicated & fascinating questions...
