Yes, and some kill people music like some Mushaggah, Cannibal, Slayer, or Stealers Wheel.
Good luck with the novel, writing is another great outlet, take care.
I channel that into anger, rather than hopelessness, but I absolutely get you, it's hard being unable to stop things from happening that you see a thousand miles away,, and being fix some of the easiest stuff to fix. Now with the political climate with one side of most governments leaning very fascist, and then what's going on economically, everything is harder and more frustrating, much more expensive. But that's why I choose anger over hopelessness, because fuck these assholes, I'm not going to let these bastards grind us down, and you shouldn't either.
My advice would be to try to force yourself to live in the moment more, stay informed, but find other outlets for your life, even if it's just trying some pot and hallucinogenics, and channel your hopelessness into something positive, something that helps, even if it's just something that helps you, also music, listening to it, or playing it if you can, I can't, but music is always very therapeutic. Books or audiobooks work pretty well too.
Good luck, I really hope you find a way to overcome your sense of hopelessness, I know it's not easy, but life never is.
Watching the actual Daily Show interview would probably be more helpful than this article was:
https://youtu.be/oaDTiWaYfcM?si=yKBpKqFXKgYxvyDL
It was a really good interview, Lina Khan was essentially a guest that Apple TV had blacklisted from Jon's now cancelled show, they break down some of the ways the Tech Robber Barons have been undermining regulations and laws, while making boatloads of money and manipulating the stock market. They then go into some of Jon's issues with Apple, his former employer, and why they had Lina Khan blacklisted as a guest on Jon's now cancelled show, and after hearing her speak I can see why, she's smart, and knows the topic well, and has some good ideas on how to fix some of the issues we have with regulating and controlling not just tech, but all out of control businesses. Then they discuss AI, how corporate leadership is going to fuck workers over completely using AI, and how AI is currently just a bunch of bullshit being used as an excuse to take our jobs and pay us less.
I hate how the left hand panes look Ron DeSantis, and cutting carbon emissions isn't something that asswhipe would discuss since he and his predecessor, Senator Rick Scott, like to pretend climate change isn't real and it's "wokie/DEI/SJW/Socialist/Communist/Chinese/etc. bullshit". However he would definitely get mad at work from home, regardless of how much it betters the state of Florida, gotta keep those slaves in the fields where can see them, right?
It's like the old TMNT arcade game, but GI Joe, I'd definitely play this, but the style is retro AF.
The Cyber truck is like the Pontiac Aztec's special ed electrically charged cousin.
It's going to be like that Star Trek episode where they find Voyager and it's evolved and achieved sentience.
They basically say that Jesse Waters is their Jon Stewart, I was describing a Jordan Kleper bit for my conservative father and he was like "yeah that's just like what Jesse Waters does" my reply was "yeah except that Jordan Kleper is actually funny and not an absolute piece of shit."
