Is it just because the collapse is getting particularly bad and everyone is extra miserable? (Me too, hard not to be down when the world is burning and you can’t afford food.)

I have this stupid thing where I feel the need to help, but I don’t know what to do… I’m sorry if I annoy everyone. I feel powerless.

Feel free to delete this if it counts as too meta

EDIT: I don’t really know how to react to everyone saying such heartfelt things, other than saying thank you.

    The Palestinian holocaust getting to the stage where it is now with extreme forced starvation and the shameless complicity of the imperialists bending laws to arrest protestors is more than enough of a reason to feel extra miserable. Mass layoffs, disability benefits being cut, cost inflation of food and rent, slop machine capitalists threatening to replace you, governments trying to stomp on trans rights, Nazis feeling free to behave and do as they please, scratched libs, weaponized mass surveillance, the global north finally feeling the effects of climate change, Deportations and and new prisons in Amerikkka (but I heard it was worse during Obama so I am not sure about that) and reasons I am missing. The few bloomer bits I feel come from Sahelian states and sometimes China but my life and disabilities with capitalism amplifying the effects it has on my life have only gotten progressively worse with age.

      The Alliance of Sahel States has brought me so much hope in this past year. May we see a truly free Africa in our lifetimes

      As the climate change apocalypse unfolds, I’m finding it increasingly hard to look at any issue without immediately thinking of how climate change is going to affect that issue before I look at any other factors or effects. I’m also finding it harder to care about any issue where, no matter a negative or positive outcome, the local area where the issue is happening will be unlivable in a decade or two.
