What does it say about our culture when people cheer the death of Charlie Kirk online? And how do headlines turn heroes into villains overnight?

In this powerful episode of Happiness Sold Separately, Jesse Merl doesn’t hold back. He exposes the cultural rot shaping our world today—and the hidden toll it’s taking on mental health.

We discuss:

• Why society celebrates tragedy

• How media twists truth into outrage

• The invisible mental health cost of living in this environment

• What resilience really means when culture feels broken

This conversation is raw. It’s uncomfortable. But it’s exactly what we need to hear.
