/lit/ - Literature

you know whats are acting a fool outside. they are breaking into the lobby of the building across the way. it's always nice to be reminded that if i had gone out tonight i would have been harassed, robbed, and probably beaten by these things. the cops will get here late and do nothing. even if they do make arrests they won't make any charges. why bother? a billion more petty crimes and menaces to society going on at the same time, every night. go outside at your own peril, play the lottery. but if you say anything, you're racist. can't even say anything here or i'll be banned for unclean thoughts if some janny comes by. i eagerly await the lecture from some kind anon, about how it's just poverty and i should feel guilty for even being irritated by it.

is this really how the human species ends? all the wonderful things we read about in books, all of the things we used to accomplish, all turned into a fading, decaying playground for these awful people? and the whole time i have to smile and nod and make excuses or i'm the bad guy
