You're still fucking alive, breathing and talking
Be fucking happy about something for God's sake
growing up in a christian church, there was always talk of "the end times" and it's kinda wild to see non-religious people act the same way
it doesn't make sense to me to a liberal or progressive or leftist or communist or WHATEVER you want to call yourself and not have hope for the future
it doesn't make sense to me to try and work towards something better while also being a cynical asshole all the time
You think the world is completely terrible? Well one, please talk to someone about that just in case you have a case of medical bad brain (which is fine, a lot of us do) but two, you are wrong???
We feel disempowered and useless because systems are built to put us in that state. Be it electoralism or militarism or good ol' fashioned capitalism. These systems are huge. Way too big for a single person to make real change alone but also too big for any one person to see in it totality. That's why organizing is the key and that can be done by anyone at any time. World bad? Gather the homies and push for change, however small. Unionize your coffee shop, then use that union power to organize more, leverage that power to make even more change and so on. It's not immediate, but it's real material change for everyone that comes after. Planting trees you'll never sit in the shade of, all that jazz. You think the world should be a certain way? Well then like... do something about it.
IN THE MEANTIME the world around you has other people in it. That's what most of our world is. People that have joy and love and understanding and history and culture. We see a couple fascist freaks making the world a little worse and just assume they represent the totality of our existence, ignoring the fact that millions of people feel like you do and also hate the freaks. We have and always will outnumber the freaks and anyone who is so selfishly wrapped up in proving to others that they're the big brained smart boy that's discovered "the world is bad actually but in the way that MY ideology is against" is a weirdo who is not invited to my party
there are so many good little things in the world and you can always enjoy them
