Default Why I'm done with humanity

Firstly: I did not put this thread in Community Support due to misconceptions over previous threads I have made in there. This isn't any thread asking for answers, advice or anything. This is how I feel, nothing more. So ignore this if you want, but I need to get this out. Perhaps it may seem obvious, but for me, this is an important realisation to accept it, and writing it all out in one place is part of that.

Because I've had enough. I don't want to live on this planet any more.

Humanity never changes. Humans destroy themselves, they become ignorant. We are living in the 21st century, we have all these high concepts, but people still give in to superstition, people still chase special paper, people lock themselves into a tiny world mentality and ignore possibility, the chance to be something far better, to transcend limitations. But what happens? Absolutely nothing.

I how humanity has become, people who are fed how they should be by media. People who no longer see any point in understanding anything, who see intelligence and something boring and negative. People who need the TV and radio to tell then what manufactured, top 40 music to like. People who listen to their invisible friend, who want to spread their ideology and destroy others over a lie. People who are prepared to kill others over some ancient dead plant matter, or for some special paper.

What's worse is the fact that it is possible, although I hope not, that humanity could survive what it has come to. Maybe it's unlikely, and maybe, as a great friend said, the solution is to "Kick back, grab a can of whatever you like to drink, and watch the world fall apart around you.", but can humans be relied on, even for that? I don't think so. Hum,ans could possibly even reach others - with the size of the universe, it is possible that some people, somewhere, have avoided humanity's mistakes. What happens if humans find them, if they end up destroying them too?
Humanity doesn't deserve its existence. Because people will never change, as much as we want them to.

In millions of years, there will be no evidence humans existed. Earth is a single pathetic little planet orbiting a single insignificant star in a tiny spiral arm of a rather unremarkable, pathetic galaxy, one of uncounted trillions. Even if humans will never reach or see everything, they could try. Humans could unite, put the past behind them, become something to truly be proud of, make all our current problems a thing of the past, if only people looked to the future. but they don't, and they never will, because there is always a little bit more money to be had. The potential is huge, but people will never live up to it, and honestly, I'm sick of the way people don't. Because there's always some oil, some money, a war to fight over invisible friends or a piece of land. Perhaps humans will wipe themselves out, and be just a tiny footnote in history, but they could be more. Perhaps extinction is all that can be hoped for, but I want to see more, and in the end, I don't want to see anyone else make the same mistakes as humanity did, and with how badly things often work out, I don't know if even that can be relied on. Unfortunately, this isn't a film, and one person can't change everything. I just wish people would start seeing that they can achieve something much bigger than Earth, than all their jobs and mass marketing, to leave superstition behind and be more than just a tiny part of a tiny planet in a tiny galaxy.
...but unfortunately, that won't happen, so I feel like I might as well give up with humanity.

Take whatever you want from this, I spent hours writing this, maybe it doesn't still feel right, but it's a lot of my feelings right now, and honestly, I can guess what most people will say already. I just needed to write this, maybe it helps with something. Maybe someone will get something from it, maybe not.
