I'm not an accelerationist but the contradictions of capitalism are sharpening at breakneck speed right now. I think that's unfortunately something that could push enough people past the limit and be a catalyst for change. Eventually society has to break. This is not sustainable. I hope we're close and I am hopeful that we'll catch ourselves as a global society before fascism wins.

I think we will.

Ye. I'm literally so suicidal because of it I'm going to the psychward

I dislike that I’m obligated to participate in a society which is actively making things worse.

I feel like one of those bystanders in a Futurama episode that have been screaming in terror at some horrible event for days on end, and they're occasionally taking time between terrified screams to yawn and check their watch.

For the first time in forever I'm not suicidal so I decided to get stuff done while I'm feeling alright.

So now I'm yelling at unity to render these damn text boxes and damnit why did I decide to come out to my family via RPG dialogue tree?

the world is a mess, there's no political will to fight climate change, and we're reaaching a critical degree of internet enshittification, but hey, today I discovered that I can now touch my knees with my forehead, so my stretching routine is working

Not really terrified about the future, unless you count the terror that comes with understanding the paradoxes of existing. But I've made a peace of sorts with that.

I know that the world needs me and my comrades, and it needs me to find more and more of my comrades, and it needs me and my comrades to all work together cohesively. I/we hold answers that humanity desperately needs to survive.

We are living in a pivotal time. I used to resent not being well-positioned to play a role in this, but now I feel better-positioned than ever. The decisions I make and structures I build over the next 10 years will make a big difference in how many people I'll be able to harbor when the massive rip in the national fabric occurs.

Regretful of the past, terrified at the present, so overwhelmed with dread for the future I just block it out

ADHD helps by making all Not Now times feel the same

I'm actually doing fine, and a lot of it has to do with how financially secure I am right now.

I wonder if anyone has ever written about how material conditions and revolutionary potential are connected?

I'm not terrified about the future, no.

sleepin. can't be scared about the future in my sleep

In fact, I am quite optimistic.

This is in spite of being in a (now-declining) depression for some time.

I... was actually quite optimistic as well a year ago and the year before that.

Funny how things work.

(This isn't meant to be a dig at people or anything of the sort; I am... genuinely optimistic about the future.)

Being sick with whatever my kid just had, at the same time as my spouse. Not great, but an energy drink + a dayquil-like cocktail of OTC medicines is keeping me caretaking

Sometimes it terrifies me for the people closest to me, including myself. The sentiment applies to everyone else too, but I've felt it for so long that I'm numb to it. If you follow Dr. Fanon's reasoning, things will probably get very bad in the Core as its empire continues to crumble and turn in on itself

Long-term and in general? Worst case scenario, I don't think the Elons-Musk of the world could save their barbarous society and spread it through space, so some kind of civilization should get a chance even if this one fails. I don't think it'll be a worst-case scenario though. Weeks happening in decades, decades happening in weeks, or as Lenin put it:

People are hella unpredictable

I'm drinking coffee. Going to make some brownies with my kid in a bit
