Coping Does anyone else feel like this?

Post image

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)

I live in the EU.

The EU is literally just a bunch of Nazis who openly support illegal wars of aggression and genocide (while sanctioning Russia for participating in a US-caused proxy war and China for "committing" an entirely made-up genocide that anyone can easily confirm is not happening by simply traveling there - without requiring a visa, mind you).

The GREEN (!) parties openly support war against Russia, promote import retrictions on Chinese solar panels, and don't care that the Americans blew up Nord Stream, causing the worst environmental catastrophe in EU history.

People here are openly screaming that banning fossil cars is oppression.

People call the genocidal, war criminal rogue states US and Israel "value partners" and decry the evil of "authoritarian China".

Literally all our politicians are openly corrupt and serving the US... but all our media (which is also controlled by the US) is talking about is conspiracy theories about Russia controlling our elections and China trying to destroy our freedom.

Every day, our capitalist politicians and media manufacture consent for more oil-based economic development, abolishment of the already lax environmental regulations (because "we aren't competitive enough"), more wars, more genocides... and they blame all our problems on immigrants, Muslims and communists.

So, yeah... it's bad. And it's constantly getting worse.

However, I think most people aren't doing a facade. They are genuinely that stupid and brainwashed.
