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?

    r/collapse had a lot of cryptofasc on there even back in the day before it was 'mainstream', the caustic suicidal idealization pervasive throughout and self-defeatism serves a purpose so be wary. A lot of what they call an apocalyptic end of the world with Biblical language (lots of fundies have joined up recently) is simply the end of the current way of being, particularly of the US. Zizek quote that its easier to imagine the end of the world than capitalism fits there. However, they will never be able to see this since they are comfortably in the belly of beast and refuse to acknowledge this.
