They are quite literally none because all this talk about declining birthrates is really just a convenient cover to not talk about the people who are already here and how they live.
Society treats me like garbage but says that men dropping us is "worrying".
If they really worried abour declining birthrates causing labor shortages why don't they get the millions who are unemployed/underemployed working?
Why am I treated like disposable trash?
The only conclusion we can draw is that there excess people, not a dearth, otherwise society couldn't afford to treat the people already living like garbage.
People are not having kids because they struggle to justify their own existence both philosophically and economically, justifying having kids is even harder.

Whatever, Houellebecq

I finished On the Heights of Despair a few days ago, it was boring dreck that read like the diary of an emo teen that picked up a thesaurus and developed an obsession with the word "paroxysm".
He never outgrew his emo teen phase, he literally sported the same beaten hangdog look from the 20s well inyo his 80s.

This guy is such a fucking meme.
I finished On the Heights of Despair today, it reads like the diary of an emo teen that picked up a thesaurus and is particularly hung up on the word "paroxysm".
The only upside is that the book is mercifully short, still drivel doe don't read him anons.

I'm so fucking bored.
Movies, tv, anime, videogames and books aren't entertaining anymore, it's all so inane and insipid.
But there's nothing to do outside, life sucks.
How do other people do it?
I find other people boring af, I don't get social butterflies, how can they enjoy talking for hours

As an avid individualist I wouldn't mind if not for the fact that society refuses to provide the structures and resources to be independent.
It's impossible for the individual to be authentic in mass society so you're stuck in a shitty limbo where there is no community but also no space for individualist self-expression.

What is the literary equivalent of this show?
