How do you cope with the fact that everything is phony (inb4 dismissed for being like Holden)?
Literary theory is bs made up so that people can leech off of academia and get easy degrees.
Social scientists are idiots and weaponised by dishonest journalists as the new secular prophets telling people what to think / why they're shit.
Morality is never practised. A politician who kills innocent people is more popular than one who says politically incorrect things.
So many current novels are merely narcissistic barely disguised memoirs or written by people with zero life experience.
Science and maths are practised mostly within hideously subsidised and bloated academic institutions.
Sex and portrayals of success are shoved in your face wherever you go through songs and pictures. But you're not allowed to say you want any of it.
90+ % of jobs could be done by everyone and only recruit based on looks and personality.
Literature is not an oasis, not one bit.

That last one is a ridiculous thing to say and makes it probably you have a social deficit and/or are extremely uneasy on the eyes.
The rest I can somewhat agree with though.
You do realise Trump has more shit not going for him than simply saying non-PC things, right?
