Making yourself feel good enough to ignore the shithole our society has become doesn’t fix anything. Denying reality is foolish as fuck and actively makes it worse.
When literally every expert and every shred of credible evidence agrees that it’s hopeless, pretending it isn’t hopeless is just going to leave you unprepared, and you’ll end among the first of the dead when the collapse happens and leads to long term global famine.
It takes an incredibly childish and naive view of the world to believe that the entire world is going to suddenly come together to meaningfully reduce emissions in the forseeable future. That’s very literally the only possible solution, and it cannot possibly happen.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best are not mutually exclusive.
Even if they were, I’d rather live with hope for a shorter time than “live” without hope for a longer time.
Also, since the whole issue of emissions comes from production of resources, how do you think gathering resources to outlast a global famine is going to affect that?
No one is denying anything. It’s just a question of whether you get up to fight or give up and die. That’s the part that’s in your power, and taking care of your body is the first step toward getting up to fight.
It really is, but i only understood after i started taking care of my body.
As stupid as “taking care of the body” sounds, our body is an organic machine. It only works correctly, if properly maintained. Learning how to listen to the body and giving it what it needs, releases lots of dopamine. You end up learning to enjoy more single moments, moments without anxiety, stress or fear.
But the clearness of mind also lets you see that the situation is actually worse than perceived before, the world is fucked and as the years pass by, it seems that there’s a global effort to fuck of it as fast as possible.
Start out with small steps, like 20 minutes a day, 20 minutes is nothing. But 20 minutes being conscious of your movements, breathing and focusing, means a lot for your health and mind.
The important thing is to shake that booty until the spirit is high.
bet a month’s rent anon doesn’t exercise and their sleep is fucked. I was this doomy too, before I fixed my shit.
I work out, read, touch grass and sleep consistently. Anon still has a great point.
Same, I feel pretty good in myself personally.
I’m still aware enough to realize that there are real issues in the world and society. Sleep and exercise can’t fix those.

Being a doomer doesn’t fix anything. Telling people it’s all hopeless is foolish and actively makes it worse.

No, it’s really just “be the change you want to see.”
Wish “the world” worked? Start with your own life.

Nah it’s just capitalist realism hitting a mfer hard
I’m a string bean on Lemmy at 4am and I have a better outlook than anon
Talking a big game but you’re only really healthy if you can accept the good and the bad for what it is.
