I try not to let this shit get to me. It's always darkest before the dawn and all that, but damn.
The general population is so fucking broken. They're just absolutely mind fucked from being raised on a steady diet of right-wing propaganda from all major Western parties.
How do you even begin to fix all of this. I feel like I'm drowning and being pushed under by my own damn species. We are all so sick.
I think it's important to keep in mind that we're not in this alone - capitalism thrives when it keeps us thinking we're isolated and powerless, and every day we have to fight that fight before we can move on to more important things. But we have each other, and we have the words and stories of the folks who came before us, ones who also lived in a fucked up world, confronted it, and left an example behind for us to follow. Not everyone made it and most didn't get their happy ending, but they chipped away a little bit at our ignorance, and we have to find contentment inside our finitude as individuals and our bounded time on the planet.
