The state of the world haunts the back of my mind every day. I can never push it out.

I can feel brief moments of joy, but I can't say I'm ever happy, not while the world is like this.

Maybe that very world is a dystopia where the U.S.'s iron grip is so solidified that it becomes clear that nothing can ever challenge it, so no one has any expectations that things "could" get better anymore. The same world where the unbreakable, invincible Israeli empire is established in the middle east and maybe beyond. Constant anxiety is replaced by a feeling of constant dread and sadness, as "U.S.-realism" or "colonial-realism" "genocide-realism" becomes the law of reality.

At that point, the only real option is to "escape" from this hellhole.

Unfortunately we live in very interesting times. The global death of democracy is approaching right when we all need to be working together to address the rapidly changing climate. More than likely the globe will see a nationalistic dash for resources to where nation states attempt to bolster themselves before the advent of mass migration.

Now luckily, this will more than likely take decades, not years. Being a doomer isn't being aware of the state of the world, it's how you respond to it. Don't get caught up thinking about things on a global scale, if nations aren't able to fix it.... individuals really don't have a chance. Think locally, build a mutual aid and defense network that operates to protect your loved ones and your community. There is still time to prepare and neighbors to protect, and at the end of the day that's really what matters.

Liberal democracy has been dead for a couple decades at the very minimum. It is just becoming increasingly hard to ignore signs of decomposition.
