@sun Everyone has their breaking point. I think part of the game is that people are incentivized to punch down at each other for having different problems rather than taking aim at the underlying factors.
Which is why I hate the phrase "victim mentality" because it implies recognition of any external pressures must also be an admission of entirely giving up on personal agency.
