Basically title. A ton of things in life being going badly. Aside from well...the outside world, life’s just been a slog. Broke up with my significant other, lost a family member, and I got into an argument with a sibling about how I need to moderate my political views and not be so outspoken on things (just shut up and don’t try to change things). Been getting me down and I feel myself falling into depression. Just needed to get that out and I’m just wondering: How do y’all make it through these days?
I think we're all feeling a descent into madness further and further each day. These are extremely difficult and alienating times. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to seek out an org/party, you need to be able to be yourself and speak freely, and unfortunately we're not to the point where most people in our lives are able to come to terms with the world changing rapidly before our eyes. Organizing with like-minded and similarly alienated people will give you purpose and sanity.
Apart from that, I'm speaking from relative privilege, but what keeps me going is a morbid fascination with our time, we are right in the middle of a pivotal moment in human history, in which we choose either socialism and humanism or we choose barbarism and potential extinction. There is no other time I would wish to be born in, other than perhaps 30 years later. I hope we live to see humanity in society. It seems like a stretch, but the mere hope is enough to keep me going day to day. This is our time, and only together can we liberate ourselves from hell by going deep to the heart of it.
I only hope to meet more of us so that we can win this together✊
We're in more places than we'd think. We're in for tough times and I wouldn't advise totally broadcasting full communism on your main social media feeds, but look out for the friends that post chapo-like content. Meet up, and meet up with their connections. This is how we build.
