"There was a time when you could think pain was productive, that there was a reward from the pain of labor. That American Dream, which was a result of both post-WWII prosperity and the welfare state, no longer holds." -- Tim Snyder on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/our-mala…
"When over and over again, pain doesn't matter -- where do you end up? Instead of feeling that you suffered for some purpose, you end up with a feeling that nothing makes sense. That's not the fault of the individual in pain." -- Tim Snyder, @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/our-mala…
"We live in a country without a proper medical system. Under that system, you turn from someone who is proud into someone who is resentful. When there is a lot of pain in the system, our politics start to become about pain." -- Tim Snyder on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/our-mala…
"America today is not about the pursuit of happiness; it's about fear and pain. It's about politicians like Trump who are very good at taking the pain that's already in the system and manipulating it and redirecting it." -- Tim Snyder on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/our-mala…
