hellish satanic suffering 

a heavy metal sensation amongst the underground, one of the best to exist

Our perpetually suffering scapegoat 

Oh? There are open-air prisons all over the place but the big mean violent (and often intolerant) people are making it hard for them to not imprison them. Welp... I guess no one gets to complain about their perfectly externally (and only externally) fixable problem now... Or ever... Forever!
Hym "And as long as we have our perpetually suffering scapegoat we get to say 'Well, yeah, that's happening and, yeah, I don't want it to happen to me but... Look at Jesus over there... See? I'm that's way worse right? So, I gUeSs We CaN't Do AnYtHiNg AbOuT iT,, Right Cody Johnston? (I forgot a coma on the last one so I added 2 this time)"

Economy of Suffering

An economic system—or a facet of contemporary capitalism—where suffering, precarity, and desperation are not unfortunate side effects but structural inputs. The economy of suffering relies on exploited labor, medical debt, housing insecurity, and the constant threat of catastrophe to keep workers docile, consumers anxious, and prices low. Profit flows from pain: from underpaid caregivers, from students crushed by loans, from tenants fearing eviction. The economy of suffering is not broken; it is working exactly as designed, extracting value from vulnerability while offering just enough relief to keep the system running.
Example: “The gig economy’s low wages and lack of benefits aren’t bugs—they’re features of the economy of suffering, where workers must accept anything because the alternative is homelessness.”

Market of Suffering

A marketplace where suffering itself is bought and sold—not as a metaphor but as a literal commodity. In the market of suffering, one can buy access to other people’s pain: disaster tourism, true crime entertainment, poverty porn, even the “empathy industry” where privileged consumers purchase experiences of hardship (like “oppression simulations” or “hunger challenges”) as self‑improvement. The market of suffering also includes the sale of treatments for suffering: antidepressants, wellness products, therapy apps, and “resilience training” that profit from the very distress the system produces. It turns anguish into a transaction.

Example: “The streaming service’s ‘trauma documentary’ was promoted alongside ads for anxiety medication—the market of suffering, where pain is content and the cure is another product.”

Commodification of Suffering

The process by which personal and collective pain—trauma, grief, illness, oppression—is packaged, priced, and sold as a product. The commodification of suffering transforms lived anguish into entertainment, education, or moral currency. A survivor’s testimony becomes a book deal; a community’s disaster becomes a documentary; a historical atrocity becomes a “heritage experience.” While sharing suffering can be meaningful, commodification strips it of context, flattens complexity, and often profits those who did not experience the original pain. It turns wounds into assets and mourning into merchandise.
Example: “The museum’s gift shop sold ‘oppression bracelets’ next to the exit—commodification of suffering, turning genocide into a brand.”

Elitism of Suffering

A hierarchy where certain forms of suffering are deemed “authentic” or “worthy,” while others are dismissed as trivial or self‑indulgent. The elitism of suffering is often deployed by those who pride themselves on their own endured hardships, using their pain as a badge of honor and a weapon to silence others. It says: “You haven’t suffered like I have, so your complaints don’t count.” It appears in online spaces where trauma is ranked, in political rhetoric that valorizes “grit,” and in workplaces where past abuse is used to justify current exploitation. The elitism of suffering turns pain into a competition with only one winner.

Example: “He dismissed her burnout because ‘at least you’re not working in a coal mine’—elitism of suffering, using comparative pain to invalidate legitimate distress.”

Fighting for the suffering

No you're not bitch. No you're not. You're doing a fucking podcast and your podcast DOESN'T AND WON'T EVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. And then you are trying to use you Podcaster to prolonge MY suffering extrajudicially.

Hym "That is how delusional these fucking YouTubers are. You're not fighting for the suffering. And to the extent that you are, you're doing it poorly. You're also fighting to make ME suffer and, therefore, whatever suffering you ameliorate is ultimately replaced by the suffering you create deliberately. And to pretend you're doing anything other than using your retarded kids as an excuse to cripple (literally or in abstraction) and torture a dissident is not going to do anything to stop them from dying. You want to punishing me for LAUGHING ON THE INTERNET AT A THING YOU DON'T OR DIDN'T WANT WANT TO HAPPEN.... TO YOU (because you wouldn't give a shit if it didn't happen to you that's where the whole trying to relegate what is happening to me TO ME even though your not actually a real team that can encompass the entire country so the ones that are outside of your purview are still just spreading it around). I gave the school shooters the attention and praise they wanted and it literally stopped a school shooting. Maybe the therapist and the people deliberately trying to manufacture to the symptoms of a mental illness are just wrong. Maybe it's just the thing I said. Maybe you are doing shit like THIS to people and they are doing the only reasonable
thing to do when the only alternative is aquiesse to your collective whim. Who the fuck do you think you are? Oh right. You're fighting for the suffering. You're the suffering avenger now except all you do is create suffering for 1 guy and I guess fighting poorly with bad rhetoric and consistent on a topic you let morph from a nomenclature battle to a how hard can you reject reason entirely competition. And you're still omitting part of the story. No I will not always be that. What I will always be is the guy who was being stalked and harassed in a very specific manner who you ignored and ultimately turned out to play a major role in the genesis of AI and you ignored that too and then the ignoring had consequences and the listening and doing what I said (if you were engaging with the text in good faith) had benefits and you ignored that too and then he was either paid for the inconvenience you had created for Hym or he wasn't and he murdered as many kids as he could. And you're not going to be able to lie it away. Or maybe if your religious YOU WILL. You're just lie and that makes everything all better. Your kids AREN'T dead. They are ALIVE FOREVER (actually)! AND! AND... Because they didn't do anything wrong... Everything is great for them forever! You're doing great. You're fighting for the suffering of others. You're the good one.
