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.

8 months ago, I told myself I'd never comment on the Fediverse again, but I feel the need to after reading your post. Your recent post and comment history is honestly concerning.

Taking a break from arguing about politics online has been amazing for my own mental health. I highly recommend ignoring all social media and news sites for a little while. At least give it a try before doing the whole violent revolution thing!

Yeah. I gotta cut off for a bit. It's death and despair everywhere.

But that won't stop what's happening. I live in Hochelaga in Montréal where there's tents in every park. There's massive renovictions going on by property barons here. The city is barely doing anything about it and the provincial government even less. We have a real estate agent as a rent and housing minister. All our tax dollars were given away as subsidies to private corporations close to some of the ministers. And now the province is cutting all funds to every public service. I dread getting sick because it's impossible to see a doctor at the emergency. I don't even want to drive my car because or the disrepair or roads are in.

Not to mention that this year so far had been very difficult financially because my pay increase was below 2% by my cost of living fees went through the roof. Mortgage rate was double after renewing last year, condo fees increased by 50$ a month plus we have to pay an extra 500$ fee to cover the cost of fixing water damages that happened this spring. My car needs a new exhaust, the clutch spring needs replacement, and it's starting to rust. (I've had it since 2009 so it's just normal with old age. It's just happening at the worst time. ) And I have Lebanese and Palestinian friends and co-workers who are distraught because their families are in danger.

Even if I log off, I can see and feel the pressure. It's unavoidable.

Is you car really essential for you? If is not, you should consider using a bicycle more, it really did wonders for me. Im saving all the money I used to spend in maintenance, insurance, immatriculation and gas. Besides I don't get stressed by dealing with other drivers, heavy traffic, potholes and construction, on the contrary the extra exercise and the fact that I can experience more the quiet neighbourhood life while I ride puts me in a good mood.

Even if you cant get rid of your car, you could use it less and still get most of the benefits.

Is not a solution to all your problems, but it can make a big difference.

I am! I got myself a new bike to replace my old mountain bike I had for literally 32 years lol! It was this old CCM chinook/excel from Canadian Tire my parents bought me in my teens.

I just got a rack installed and ordered a basket for running errands. I also use public transportation a lot. I really only use my bike for groceries and haul heavy things.
