Are we all fucked? (lemm.ee)

I'm worried for the world. All I've been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can't even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I'm not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

I checked out of the news during the Trump presidency, it was just constant crazy negativity. I feel much better for it. Anything important enough I hear about somewhere, and I vote responsibly and act responsively.

How can you vote responsibly if you don't know what the politicians and parties are doing and saying?

It's pretty easy to figure out their platforms from the major news that filters through.

Yeah. You can feel yourself hurting inside when watching that stuff. People think they need to pay attention to it, but they don't. Its all manufactured negativity and they are really good at making it feel bad.

Sometimes I wonder if there are evil spirits and if they consume this negative energy being created in people. It would explain a lot, why our world is so evil.

Maybe human beings are being fed on spiritually, just like we consume other physical beings for food.

Who knows.
