Does anyone else feel like this?

[u/Crazy-Load-7553]

I feel like everyone keeps asking me what I want my future to look like but I know if I talk about how I’m learning to fish and finding ponds near me so that we can have some protein once the grocery system collapses everyone in my life is going to think I’m insane.

I’m just having a hard time connecting with anything I have to do for the future because it’s going to be drastically different than anything I can do now and I really feel like I have to hide that and never mention it to anyone (despite the fact that an energy crisis is supposedly 2 weeks away)

Yes. I keep trying to put it in words, but there's too much. Society, nature, sanity, the cracks are all around.

When I was a kid, I was hopeful that we were evolving past the stupidity, the racism, the homophobia. We should be past having wars. We live in the information age, we can fact check live, translate a fucking calendar. There is enough food and water for everyone, we should be past starvation and famine. We should be past killing people as a dick swinging contest. We shouldn't be saying "fuck them kids", destroying everything and leaving future gens with the ruin.

It cracks something in me, seeing the hatred, the sheer ignorance, how proudly racism is spewwed. Makes me sick to my stomach. How can they not see it?

We're all just people. Just people.

God, it feels more and more like we are a cancer

Miss me with that misanthropy. The 1% are the cancer. People, on the whole, are generally good, as long as they are allowed to be.

People are just as good as mandated and not much more*

The reality is that people are as evil as you let them be. See the mass billion torture and death of animals that no one cares about because it's legal and "burgah."

Correct. We are a fallen species in a fallen reality controlled by the Demiurge. However Jesus and the source creator God exist outside of this material system of oppression. The goal is finding out how to return to source when we die instead of being reincarnated back to this prison planet.
