We can't do anything except talk about it to vent and feel like others understand the same thing.
Awareness of how perverted the ruling class is has spread, but its also not going to make any difference, since you can't vote these people away.
I think the only difference now vs before is that more people know that the world works this way, and it's not how we are told in school at all. But we are stuck with these leeches at the top.
You can still live your life though and focus on being happy. We dont have to react every day to whatever the circus does.
Yes but still remains the question, what can we do? Having no hope and accepting the bad is still no solution in my opinion. Ever watched interstellar? There is this little poem I like to refer to.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
~Dylan Thomas
I think it says all in what mindset we should adapt...
Depends on how you view it.
Even if you don't hope for the future, you can live a good life right now. In fact, worrying about the present state of things is going to make you miserable. Because you can't change any of it.
Worry about what you can affect. Your life. The people you meet, treat them well, create good memories.
The trap people fall into is sitting on social media pushing buttons, thinking they are changing something, contributing to some kind of change. It feels better to think that than to view it as a passifier and a outlet for your own anxiety.
Also, from a material point of view, we have it better than ever before. Our problem is we are living under psychological wars, carried out by news and social media against the populations. All our misery comes from inside our heads, and what created what we are thinking about? News and social media.
Anyway, I could write a lot about this but going to sleep. :)
