Reading theory helps me contextualize and analyze the world around us, which gives hope for a successful future for Humanity. I even wrote an introductory Marxist reading list to help anyone else who wants to start reading Leftist theory.
In addition to that, I find comfort with my friends and family, reading, cooking, gaming, and otherwise engaging with my hobbies.
I definitely find that understanding what's happening and why goes a long way towards removing anxiety and fear.
Yep! A lot of it can be scary, but the unknown is more terrifying because you can't correctly combat it.
