I'm having an r/collapse induced depression rn. Not helped by the fact the Amazon forests just became CO2 releasing and dozens of ecosystems are just collapsing in Australia.
The future looks bleak. I'll probably live to see the worst of it. Am sad, how do you cope?
Your comrades born in the 1890s faced the same prospect. They faced machine gun fire and mustard gas in the name of some inbred asshole who had a spat with his cousin. They were harassed by private agencies like the Pinkertons as well as cops, and frequently got beat or killed. They lived in absolute sties and slums that were loaded with coal runoff, sewage, or other nasty pollutants. They saw their leaders thrown in jail or executed for opposing the barbaric slaughter of the Great War. They were thrown in concentration camps by the Nazis. They still kept fighting.
