I don't want to heal, I want to guillotine some billionaires.

Cutting out tumors is part of the healing process.

I've been thinking about it and Ilike stoning for this. Every person throwing a stone is deciding whether that person should suffer or die, and how much pain to inflict..

What do you think healing looks like, if not that? 😌

Include this 80s duder. Oof.

It's difficult being a millennial and trying to confront the nostalgic feeling (that naturally comes with aging) that "things were better in my youth," because things objectively were better in my youth.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, I hear stories from my coworkers about how bad East Germany and other former Soviet states were in the 80s/90s. It depends a lot on where you were fortunate enough to grow up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Also ignorance is bliss and as kids we didn't give a shit about politics. But in this instance things were 100% better no doubt.

"I wish that none of this had happened"

"so do all who live too see such times, but that is not for them to decide. all we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us."

as hard as it to reconcile with the world disintegrating when you're coming together as a person (I'm in the same boat) I find the above quote gives me some courage to accept such a condition and to act steadfastly instead, as a testament that life is worth living and fighting for

Gandalf's line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.

My biggest fear is climate change tbh, trump, facism, and capitalism are terrible, but the biggest threat to the future of humanity is climate change

The world's healing progresses much more slowly than the individual's. We have hundreds of years of colonialism and ecological devastation to heal from and that shit won't happen overnight. You are part of the world and your healing makes the world better. Focus on what you can do and do that. Trying to take responsibility for the whole mess will destroy you, it's out of your hands.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene

I, for one, feel a lot less crazy now that people are seeing what I have been seeing for a long time. I hear about it more even from old folks, my in laws now ask more questions as do my own parents. That gives me a lot of hope. Change is inevitable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Same here. I've been saying for 25 years that the right wing Christian clowns were going to ruin this country and eventually the world. At the time my folks, family and friends all thought I was just some conspiracy nut.

I'm just happy that I'm old enough not no be immediately drafted.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't have to worry about being drafted, I'm officially morally unqualified to serve in my nation's armed forces!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't worry they make waivers for everything.

The world is improving: https://ourworldindata.org/sdgs it's only the media focusing on conflict, gore and problems as that sells better and keeps people scared. Go on healing and follow your path!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Some of the world is improving. Some has been regressing. The last 30 years weren't a very stable time, and even the accounts of what is happening is not reliable. Not acknowledging that has been incredibly harmful for everybody.

Anyway, yes, improve your life and the society around you. It's what you can do.

I hope things get better for you, fam.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Like I said, I'm improving. It's the world falling apart around me that's making me feel it's a bit superfluous to be achieving mental stability at this point in life.

Unfortunately, no. At this point, the majority of humans in every country have allowed the worst of us to amass and consolidate power to the point where things will only get worse until complete destruction. Without a concerted and basically worldwide effort to take those power structures back, everything progresses downward. For my part, I can only hope we go out fast and soon so some of the planet's ecological systems and species can be saved.

Well, that was more bleak and depressing than the post.

Also, hard disagree. Not everything is lost.

If you share how you improve, others could join. That could grow until everybody is healed.

Question is, what do healthy people want? Do they want to live in peace or do they prefer to fight and to risk everything?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"healthy" people want to be lied to and be told everything will be ok so they can continue being selfish pricks. not because they are selfish pricks, but because our species is selfish pricks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Our species is not that selfish. The selfishness is what is induced to make people “healthy”.

I am asking about healthy people. What do they want?

Healthy people want to live in peace, but also recognize when is the time to fight for that peace.

80s babies too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I am comfortable with the knowledge that I spent the best years of my life in the '90s. The music, the clothes, the general vibe, the prices... The few wars of the era look like kids playing Risk compared to what's brewing now.

The lifestyle and material conditions enabled by a century and a half of fossil fuels are coming to a close.

It will only get worse from here. There is no recovery.
