People in this thread being like "just stop watching the news" and then what? Do you all not go outside and see the same misery and horror? Does capitalism stop crushing you once you don't look at your bank account? Do you all truly believe there is nothing that can be done about any of it and that thus it's needless pain??
To me this is how we got here, I kno I can just ostrich the suffering away but do none of you feel like the pain is precisely the mechanism that regulates our world and that it's a signal to try to change things? It's the pain of a dying world and I refuse to think this is business as usual. Past worst crisis didn't happen in an accelerationist decaying world they didn't happen while the planet was burning etc. You can't compare to the past. You only have the present to act from and right now I do feel things are not okay and that we need to each find ways to act.
