Lately I’ve had a really hard time finding pleasure in anything.

The world is such a depressing inhumane shit show at the moment. And I’m tired of being gaslit by every government from my local borough administration all the way to the federal government.

Capitalism and fascism had taken a hold on the world’s nations the likes of which we have never seen in the history of humankind.

And the worst part is I feel people have been indoctrinated to as point where we’re never gong to collectively get out of it. I don’t even think a violent revolution is possible because people are too fucking dumb to notice what’s wrong.

And the “fuck you, I got mine” attitude that capitalism has brought has ruined any chance of salvation. Empathy and solidarity are ridiculed as being some woke mind virus.

The world’s climate is beyond fucked. There’s wars and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the Epstein class in our name. We keep electing wolves in sheep’s clothing who win our votes on fake promises to help us then turn against us and double down on policies that make life more difficult and increase our level of misery. Unless you’re a billionaire CEO or a politician, your life is absolutely worthless. You’re nothing more than a low value resource. And you don’t have freedom. Neither of speech or otherwise. Not as long as what you say or do goes against what the elites want.

We’re fucked. I don’t foresee any future worth living in.

    It’s not as bad as certain media would have you believe.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am far, far from entertained by the shit-show south of us and by the very serious issues that exist worldwide. As a whole though, I think there is room for optimism. Not blind faith and not “damn, we are doing so great!” but optimism. People are still capable of amazing things and while things do seem dark and the narrative paints every challenge as unwinnable, remember that this the intention of groups that want things broken. Them saying so doesn’t make it so however.

    I’m an old cynic but shit’s still not as bad as it seems.
