Survival is a revolutionary act, hang in there folks
:af-heart:
Fuck that’s bleak. I’ve been there. Any Zoomers that are part of that know I love you and I’ve been in your shoes (figuratively, not literally. That’d be creepy). I was real suicidal from about 16-25. It gets better.
I was RIGHT THERE until Chris Hedges saved my life. I watched him read American Anomie [written] and in that moment understood that society failed ME, not the other way around, and that I needed to study politics if I ever wanted to understand the world around me
not to be a doomer but I’m still waiting for it to get better at age 38 :/
I guess one aspect that has gotten better is: I’ve been suicidal so often, for so long, that when that urge washes over me, I can be reasonably sure it will pass.
Is America going to get better? Probably not until a collapse.
Can someone get better on an individual/community level? Absolutely.
If it hasn’t passed for you yet just know it can.
if the world around you doesn’t get better, you can’t get actually better. you can only develop and refine your ability to ignore the world around you.
Jesus Christ. I don’t have time to read the link, I’m about to start work, does it say anything about how this compares to historic levels?
Normal country.
Oh hey it’s me. Still there too.
