Feel good about losing at life: a guide

You've noticed everyone around you is more successful: they built businesses, have great careers, loving families. You wish you had the same. What to do?

Have you tried feeling morally superior instead?

All successful businesses steal money from somebody else. Working for corporations is basically the same as supporting fascism. You don't have family and friends because nobody else sees how corrupt ordinary people are - and you don't want to mingle with evil people, don't you?

Your failures are not yours. You have been given a seemingly impossible choice: live a life of failure or engage in morally repugnant world.

The choice was easy to you: you chose the hard way, the morally superior way of refusing to embrace fascism and capitalism and to be the bastion of decency and all of the world's filth. You're poor, unhappy and alone by choice. The only correct choice.

You cannot build anything valuable, anything other people might want so the only way forward is to destroy. To find other morally superior people and decry the state of the world. The only way to make the world better is to destroy. Building is morally corrupt.

You and your "friends" have such a clarity about who's evil and who's good. Clarity allows radical action: if we know that person is evil the we Need To Act. Do Whatever Is Necessary. Destroy.

Anyone suggesting that the clarity is an illusion is enemy themselves: we know that person is evil, you're suggesting they might not be, therefore you're trying to help them. To help evil. We will do Whatever Is Necessary to you.

Your life looks very different now. You have allies. Clarity of mission. The moral high ground to destroy, to be the judge and the executioner.

Your life has purpose now.

Congratulations(?)
