I am honestly the perfect recruit for a cult, but no one has ever reached out to me. :(

I understand. Really I do. Most people are likable and mostly tolerable (at least in small doses) and plenty of people can surprise you, but that's been true presumably for all of history and yet here we are with history books full of depressing ****. And also here we are with all of these likable people who love their kids and want to help you out and not screw you over who'll blindside you over and over and over with the kind of **** I hear everyday that basically amounts to big L liberalism.
Nobody wants to help out anyone they don't think is pulling their weight and what they think is pulling their weight is always what they self-indulgently presume to be their own standards of pulling weight which does not include any consideration for lower physical ability, lower intelligence, difference in mentality, or difference in background. Perfectly nice people will proudly throw under the bus anyone who might be covered by the ideal of "from each according to his ability to each according to his need" because there's a million ways to rationalize how that person who needs more is simply a parasite.
The only thing considered is whether anyone else is annoying you by inconveniencing you.
