With all the greenwashing and whitewashing happening in advertising for everything nowadays, most consumers that can afford it found and consider their conscience again when making decisions. This pulls through up to a point where whole mindsets change into a very hipocrital state:

This being said, I strongly believe that most people realize all the hypocrisy and lies happening around them. But doing nothing to confront them anyway.

Seemingly, it is more effortless to concentrate parts of the own focus or even work on people, who are valued even less than these themselves are.

Psychical "illnesses" aren't about laziness. It is a time and force-of-will question. You can't help anyone who doesn't want or accept this help. Which mostly is happening anyway in these "official" pink-collar-jobs because of legal requirements. To get back a driver's license or as requirement to get a job, e.g.

So both sides on this end of some replaceable stick are lying to each other:

The helper, who sometimes does help, to either hold his own position or lifestyle he affords. So rather with self-sufficiency in mind as a priority. Not to help genuinely. That is why these people listen only sometimes.

As well as the "patient".

Who either does want to change his life, but even then this kind of administered help only can be help in an advisory sense, because he has to find new ways, he actually can "own" by himself anyway.

Or the patient does the whole thing only in a pathetic way himself, so that he e.g. can keep his drug habits "better" hidden under some carpet while at the same time being regarded as a more valued member of society again.

It is the same in politics and charity work, for some parts at least, I conclude from my experiences.

My life changed, when for the first time somebody in my life started asking actual questions that I never considered relevant before.

But not because I'm lazy or a dumbass. I honestly just never thought about them before.

The same thing happens in politics and most hierarchies:

When people, without actual experience in the field in question, have to make decisions and judgements about things or other people, they don't know anything about. They even can't relate to because of completely different upbringings and mindsets.

Going full woke-mode then makes them look nice, and it ensures to not offend anyone.

But it also achieves exactly nothing.

When you want to change something, you have to accept the fact that someone will be offended by it.

Simple as that it is, in its last consequence.
