Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult.

I encourage you, however, to find some better arguments against Agent Smith

I'd be hard pressed to think of a better reason not to do anything than the fact that you're aiding, empowering, and aligning yourself with some of the worst people to ever exist but I'll give it a good think.

Hotel has extra fees? Well then...

Yes. It's truly infurating how non car owners are forced to subsidize the ever loving shit out pretty much every aspect of car ownership, and then ignorant car brains have the nerve to complain about a small parking fee or gas prices, all while their mode of transportation is pretty much uniquely responsible for unimaginable death, injury, and ecological destruction.

Generally speaking people who need mental health help are going to be more easily discouraged by a negative interaction than the general population even if they can afford therapy in the first place. In the US at least there's also a shortage of therapists, meaning you might have to wait a long time to see anyone at all. And in my experience there are a lot more bad therapists than good ones (though assholes of this level are probably rare).

Honestly if it were me I'd just save myself the trouble, read a book on CBT and get some antidepressants. But that doesn't work for everyone.

Generations do have voting habits though

What you mean to say is simply that environment influences behavior. "Generations" are just arbitrary buckets that reinforce stereotypes and create division. A young gen x person likely has a lot more in common with an old millennial than an old gen x person.
