I’m losing my will to fight. You’re losing your will to fight. In the last few weeks, you’ve been nothing but despair. I am trying to hold it together so I can keep up the fight. But it’s been getting harder. All the levity has been lost. I guess I got more levity from you than I realized. I don’t know how I became so dependent on you. Isolation has become the norm for us, I guess. But right now, all I know is that I can’t do this without you. You’ve gotta stay strong, and stay light. So that I can stay strong, and stay light.
Yes, you. The faceless mass.

There are many people being careful of what they say on public forums. Don’t let that make you think there are not people ready and willing. Many people seem to speak more freely over on Rednote. There’s a lot of posts over there. I’m just stating observations.
Reading the news and posting angry messages on social media isn’t fighting. If you’re doing something beyond that, good for you - but the vast majority of so-called “activists” aren’t. They’re just venting anger and spreading it to others while achieving nothing worthwhile.
If my goal were to “change the world,” I’d probably live in despair too. But it’s not. Instead, I run a small local business where I help people with their everyday technical challenges. I get to make a tangible difference in people’s lives and see their gratitude firsthand. Life has never felt more meaningful.
Nah, not only am I not “losing my will to fight,” I’m having a great time. I don’t take anything online seriously.
Lemmy is NOT real life. It’s an echo-chamber full of people bitching and moaning about the world ending who just love to doomscroll, and then brag about what meds they are taking to cope. It’s fucking weird.
Meanwhile in real life in my neighborhood here in the US, people are visiting parks, flying kites with kids, taking walks with their dogs. I see kids riding their bikes to get ice cream. I hear kids on the playground nearby playing tag and laughing. Guy across the street is shooting the shit with his friends and having a beer. They invited me over for a bbq.
But according to Lemmy we’re all doomed and about to be marched into deathcamps.
Not gonna happen.
World’s not gonna end Lemmy. I promise.
As important and as concerning as many current events are especially in relation to American politics, I didn’t consider that I needed to read this. Thanks for providing that perspective. It’s a crazy world both in here and out there imo and I think the best we can do given the circumstances is to be careful about how we consume as that can promote apathy and further doomscrolling. Instead, I feel like it’s for the best for any of us here to create. Doesn’t matter what you make, Where you are at, or how skilled you may be but I hope for the best in all of us!
YSK UniversalMonk is pretty much yet another fascist, with being a regular on c/conservative and defending Trump on many issues here.
Yes, many people are still living on their lives in the U.S. with not much difference, and doomscrolling doesn’t help. But all the executive orders of Trump are not meaningless and all the daily illegal ICE deportations are not lies.
It’s best to focus on and support your local community, and not be pessimistic, but it’s also not good to fall into such people’s hands and ignore everything happening right now in the U.S.

If people are serious about this sort of thing they’ll have to realize it’s not about freeing Luigi but being Luigi
I don’t condone illegal acts, just pointing out where that line of thought goes
but being Luigi
You mean being a privileged, loser murdering scumbag who is gonna spend the rest of his life in prison? Because that is what he is.
