No I’m not catastrophising.
The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist led America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.
Instead people are either ignorant or blaming “wokeism”* for their problems.
I have no clue what to do and this is literally a car crash in slow motion.
I’m despondent because I’m going to be crushed under the boot when the time comes and my morals get in the way of my survival instinct.
Humans are repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s just so anxiety inducing.
*Woke is a useless term promulgated by fascists to dog whistle the things they really want to hate - feminism, socialism, LGBTQIA+, immigration, brown/black people, equality and diversity.
Let's start with this: Can you do anything personally to save the world? I'm not talking incremental personal improvement rainbows and butterflies horseshit, I'm saying can you personally do anything to stop what is clearly a catastrophic trajectory?
If you can, do it. If you can't, which I believe nobody can at this point, it's time to stop worrying and live the life you have left.
Spend more time outside, learn to paint acrylics, go get some pussy.
Why torture yourself and live in misery? Why allow all the evil people trying to terrorize you to succeed? Fuck that noise.

"You can't do anything to personally fix this, so you might as well not worry about it"
I fucking hate this mindset. This mindset is the reason we are in this position. We can't just sit idly by and silently watch the right implement fascist policy and say "well, they were gonna try anyways, nothing we can do I guess".
Go do something then, dumbass. Bc you won't.
How do you expect to change someone else/world when you can't even change yourself?
