>I'm talking about life in the deanoboxes, the terraces, the Paki ghettos, the post-industrial wastelands. I'm talking about the rape gangs, the male suicide epidemic, Amazon fulfillment wageslavery. I want to read about the zero contract shift workers, the obsessive NEET loners stuck in their Mum's spare room. Travelling to work on an over-crowded bus, standing about in the job centre. The clash of working class pleb culture and the privately educated upper class. I'm talking rainy walks with the dog. I need roundabouts, industrial estates, anal sex, cornershops, the exodus to London, Spice addicts, humanities graduates working in bars, the home ownership crisis, identity politics, ethnomasochism, historical revisionism, Primark, retail work, modern feminism, high rents, boomer resentment, ethnic replacement, isolation, social media, hookup culture, brand identity.

This country is completely fucked, and it's going to come to a head soon. Think Brexit will probably tip us over the edge desu lads.

It seems like everybody around me is on anti-depressants or mood stabilisers, going along with their lives although nothing is the matter even though they've resorted to taking/being prescribed anti-depressants in the first place.

It also seems like this is becoming the norm, rather than addressing what it is that is causing everyone to feel so low in the first place and this is something that I can't get my head around.

What is happening?
