Self-Care Is a Scam in a Country Built on Excess
#An extended rant mocking the self-care movement, arguing a country built on all-you-can-eat buffets and bottomless brunch doesn't need to be told to relax, and tying it to Mac Miller's overdose.
7moments
- Tim on self-care as the current trend and the irony of needing to be told to care for yourself in America.
- No movement exists for caring about anyone else — self-care starts and ends with you, not with helping others.
- Americans aren't collapsing from overwork helping the homeless or building houses; self-care is just masturbating on your couch.
- Self-care checklist: cut out toxic people, meditate alone, get a dog you pretend to care about while posting it on Instagram.
- Telling a country built on all-you-can-eat buffets, bottomless brunch, and all-inclusive resorts to relax and practice self-care is absurd.
- From childhood, America tells you to follow your dreams, take out loan debt for college, find a job that excites you, then fall in love with someone who checks every box.
- Have kids to use as status symbols to one-up people in your planned community, but don't forget to take time for yourself in the middle of it all.
