I can already hear it. I know, I know, doomerism has been weaponized in order to keep the working class undereducated, depressed, drugged up, inert, or dead, and I’m falling for bourgeois tactics.
At the same time, though, I look around (even from a privileged, western perspective) and see things getting worse and worse, daily. My life and country have both begun to collapse.
I’m pretty white-pilled when it comes to the human race on the whole, especially with China as the rising superpower, but Jesus. Global economy in shambles, political and civil unrest, and the worst existential threat in human history in climate change all at the same time.
What are the next 20 years going to bring?
I’m scared, and I have a really bad feeling about all of this.
I’m a NEET without a car who’s basically given up hope of ever organizing anything worthwhile in the U.S. Currently learning Korean for… I don’t even know anymore as the chances of me even seeing the DPRK let alone becoming a guide or something akin to it are slim to none. I want to flee the country before the Trump-Carlson takeover in 2024 but have no means to do so except my partner was in a crash like 5 years ago and will get a meager cash settlement sometime soon. Just gotta figure out how to pay rent until then.
I feel you comrade. I remain cosmically hopeful about the fate of the world and humanity’s socialist future. At the same time, scraping by in the empire is making me s*icidal and national-nihilistic. It’s rough. Find strength in your friends, family and comrades if you can.
