Rage Rage Everywhere

Rage rage everywhere Rage rage go away.

I see rage around; the only thing that grabs eyes is rage. Interestingly, if you slow down and look around you, you will see it manifest in the people around. It is the common form of anger and hatred towards others.

In India, the presence of screens—aka phone penetration and cheap phones—has amplified this. There are WhatsApp groups that just share rage bait, and people around us are divided into an "us vs. them" mentality all the time.

The absence of immediate threat and, at the same time, the presence of enraging content all the time is creating a generation of hate-filled, miserable individuals. It isn't that people are weak or dumb; it’s just that they are being brainwashed day by day. Our brains are not built for modern technology and the techniques used for dopamine hijacking.

When we are thought from a young age to do certain things or are overwhelmed by the content on the internet, either we become indifferent to events happening around us.

I also believe this continuous micro-raging and the helplessness that comes with it has killed our ability to actually be enraged. Even if we are enraged, all of us are only here looking to survive. We live in a country that is growing; the growth story that was supposed to happen this decade has not materialized, and instead, we are being forced to think that everything is alright.

I will start to rage, but not for the same reasons as the majority of my co-citizens. I will rage for them. This needs deep introspection, understanding of details, empathy, and also the ability to say that I am wrong.

TBH, I will be happy to be wrong. I hope to be wrong and hope that the world is not as bad as I am saying it is.

Also, I want to think away from the psyops, the biases, and also the marks of right, left, liberal, commie, and these tags. I will be with everyone but no one. Maybe this is an identity crisis, but the reality seen through my eyes, processed by my brain, will not change.
