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.

I feel this. But also, you aren't the only one in your community feeling like this. And you aren't wrong, there is a lot of horror out there. But there are also a -lot- of people who give a shit, and we need to talk to each other more, face to face. We need to be building movements locally and having more of a shared understanding.

I want you to organize a barbecue with your neighbors, start a club, join a band, listen to the middle aged poet at open mic, whatever it is, and start listening to people around you. You have more in common with them than you think, and as a group, you can level each other out, enjoy life, and maybe even help steer the boat away from the iceberg, just a lil bit 🤏
