Asking myself if there is a new feeling amongst most people, some kind of hopelessnes, or if that was always there?

Do we, generally, perceive the world as more hopeless, and thus shut down, or is the general vibe of giving up more an artifact of how action is compartmentalized, no longer meaningful, thus a slow but steady development?

Haha, living through climate collapse and resurgence of fascism, i still ask myself systemic questions instead of bashing fascists and destroying fossil fuel power plants. Humanity is doomed, i am the showcase.

But hey, while we live, what do you think about new feeling versus slowly advancing compartmentalization? Or am i neglecting a pivotal factor?

@admitsWrongIfProven @jeffcliff @Hyolobrika @PippiPunkstrumpf @VeroniqueB99 @renardboy @the_etrain @Alice @CorvidCrone i think we need to develop realistic but anticynical media, informed by a kind of Pascal’s wager. (i admit in many of my posts i fail to live up to this suggestion.)

@interfluidity
I don't see any problem of you living up to your standards, but the question was more like "why tf is everyone giving up, is it because we are nearly dead or more like, some not-humane human handling?"

Sorry if that was too graphic, i hope i explained my point in an understandable way.

@admitsWrongIfProven @interfluidity @jeffcliff@shitposter.club @Hyolobrika@social.fbxl.net @PippiPunkstrumpf @VeroniqueB99 @the_etrain @Alice @CorvidCrone My ugly honest take on this is that at this point individual efforts to curb climate change have to also be inline with resilience goals in order to maintain sanity.

I try to shift my habits away from what capitalism prescribes and towards living off the land, in a sustainable way that will also allow me to continue to thrive and support my community when the machine fails.
