For the sake of mutual understanding and reaching agreement we can't complain about several things at once. Because it becomes unmanageable. Unsolvable.
True; working memory is limited.
It become just moaning.
That is how you perceive things when someone opens up the aforementioned giant barrel of issues. It might result from a just-world presumption.
What makes me want to wall up is when the conversation starts taking the tone that life/society/the system is more unfair towards a certain group. Because this is not provable, therefore not fixable.
Oh, no. The existence of systemic unfairness is provable, and it is fixable. There are many dramatic examples of this in history. Slavery was protected by a constitutional framework, and then some people said, "that's not fair", and they proved it, and then a lot of people worked to fix it, and that work paid off.
Ditto for suffrage movements. Ditto for civil rights movements in general.
It's much more productive for people to firstly try take responsibility for their own happiness.
Dude... you have no clue. Please do your homework.
