I was lurking on Reddit and I saw someone claiming that nowadays governments will do everything to make you out of poverty but moment you went above poverty line, taxes and all of that will make you way worse than what you were initially. I wonder if that is true.

    Lemmy is less doomy than Reddit and I use Reddit although banned from there. And for happiness, I believe it is a mirage. Life is not meant to be anything other than life itself and world is just a random atomic mess.

      Yeah, like I said, you have a lot of living to do. A period of misanthropic negativity is pretty normal. You’ll be okay and the world will feel brighter the more positive experiences/relationships you have. Less internet, more life.
