I try not to let this shit get to me. It's always darkest before the dawn and all that, but damn.

The general population is so fucking broken. They're just absolutely mind fucked from being raised on a steady diet of right-wing propaganda from all major Western parties.

How do you even begin to fix all of this. I feel like I'm drowning and being pushed under by my own damn species. We are all so sick.

I don't bother trying to change people, except for showing up and signal boosting my local pro-Palestine demonstrations. In my off time, I volunteer at wildlife welfare and rehabilitation center, at least fellow humans who work there are guaranteed to be animal lovers, capable with their hands, and generally kind.

We can't "fix" anything. All we can do is keep ourselves safe and encourage the people who see that something is wrong. As the mask slips further and further more people will begin having doubts about where things are going. Tell them they are correct to question liberalism and fascism and that there is a 3rd way forward.

As we descend into the darkness it will be more and more risky to speak against the status quo but the rewards of doing it correctly will get greater. Now is a good time to practice.
