@hutaffe @ner3y @jsonbecker @pimoore @the yep I agree with you all it is all too much. I've had to retreat from the harshness of it all and remain within it at the same time. What that looks like for me is that I moved to a simple life in a tiny house in the bush. I removed myself from the dramas of other people's lives. I then had space to immerse myself in doing what I can for humanity, the environment and world affairs. I've also spent a lot of time in understanding what has brought us all to this point - in a nut shell it all leads back to capitalism (in my opinion). Unless we fully understand the problem we will never get to a solution. The most important thing I've learned is that it's not my failing. Neo-liberalism wants us to all think that it's our own individual fault that has led each of us to this point. Which feeds the internal narrative of 'I should be better/more resilient/what' wrong with me etc'.

But as the quote goes 'It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism'. I like to challenge that where I can and look for parallel structures that aren't based on a capitalist model (FOSS for example). I try to act in rebellion to neo-liberalism both in my own thinking and in my actions. It's surprising how much it is embedded in me.

That's just how I have tried to navigate it anyway. Everyone will have their own way of navigating it.
