For some reason wonkas voice sounds like rick Sanchez in my head here

I think that’s an uncharitable take on his position. He’s criticising bush era wars like in Iraq and implying the second world war, which is very much a moral war for the USA.

He is invoking a romanticised past but that’s his whole character arc - believing in the America that could be, that ostensibly was, and how far they’ve come from their values.

The connection to MAGA is superficial. His speech is properly quixotic- designed to inspire the best in national identity, even if it’s foolish

The opening scene from the Newsroom about why America is not the greatest country in the world. It’s such a good self evaluation and gives hope for the future

This isn’t a complete solution, but joining groups for interaction is a start. Book clubs, game clubs, sports, movie clubs, whatever it is as long as it’s social and in person. Put up a flyer on community noticeboards for an activity you like, alternatively.

Volunteering can also help. Being part of a community, being seen and contributing can make all the difference to starting the process.

This isn’t a solution to depression or any mental health issue. It’s a possible way to begin creating connection though.

I came here to say this and I’m glad someone got here first

Watching my favourite comedies. Stoner humour always puts things in perspective for me, so it helps 😁

My favs are Harold and Kumar go to white castle, Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure, and super troopers
