I basically stopped participating. I work in a government position that is stable and pandemic-proof. I will never be able to buy a house so I don't even consider that. I live where I don't need a car. Basically, my needs are met and capitalism didn't work for me, ever.

I don't. We don't. Best we'll ever be able to do is keep the future generations in mind as the ship continues sinking. Remember overgrowth got us here and degrowth is possible--Hope must stay everpresent on the horizon of possibilities
I refuse to have children in response to what I see with my own eyes. No thanks to my parents for making me exist.

Weed and trying to understand what I value and want in my life and how that can be made to happen outside of capitalist structures
I feed and drug the dog, which reminds me to take my antidepressants and another pill which I have to take with food, and so I eat breakfast. I meme with my friends online. I compartmentalize the fuck out of life. I go to therapy. I give myself treats. I wrap the dog's pills in a hip-and-joint soft treat so he'll take them without me shoving them down his throat. I remind myself that I almost-own a condo, so I'm doing better that a lot of millennials.
I don't let them win over my soul. I'll never believe that capitalism is good. I'll never let them that money is more important than people. And if someday enough people believe the same as me that things start to change I'll be there to help make that change happen.
Lots of Minecraft
I do what I can when I can. Hopelessness hinders the change I can make
Drugs, lots and lots of tender loving illigeal drugs
i cry a lot and smoke a lot of weed lol
Pretty easily.
I live my life and care about the people around me. I ignore things I can’t affect.
The sky is not falling. The ground is right here and things are generally OK for most people.
I've been looking for a mutual aid organization to join and looking into what it takes to get a gun in my state. Bleak, I know lol
Every day is a step towards my plan leaving this country and going back to Korea
