We really do live in a society, huh? jokerfied

You'd think I'd be numb to all this shit by now. But I'm just sad.

We broke the 2-degree threshold in global temperature increases recently. Media shrugs.

Covid spike yet again. The media tells us to harden up or die.

Everything fuckng sucks. Wages suck, prices suck.

The people protest, they rightfully don't want to boil from climate change or the genocide of Palestinians. The capitalist government says fuck you and arrests them. Very cool and democratic.

Death, disease, poverty. Everything is falling apart. I feel powerless. Like I'm watching the murder of something beautiful and all I can do is watch. The powers in charge of this are monsters. All they seem to want to do is make everything worse and anyone who doesn't agree with fucking up literally everything is labeled an extremist.

Shits traumatic.

    I feel much the same way doomer

    Part of the reason why I'm moving and going partially off-grid is because I want to live somewhere that seems to be more resilient in the face of climate collapse and catastrophic temperature spikes and try to be more self-sustaining if and when society outright collapses, maybe even with a better chance of making some new friends with my new neighbors there (current neighbors are a mix of full blown lawn obsessed MAGA boomers and computer touching "fuck you got mine" neoliberal Xers).

    I don't know if it will be enough. I'm going to try, especially because as a father-to-be I need to try for the next generation's sake. sweat
