I can already hear it. I know, I know, doomerism has been weaponized in order to keep the working class undereducated, depressed, drugged up, inert, or dead, and I’m falling for bourgeois tactics.
At the same time, though, I look around (even from a privileged, western perspective) and see things getting worse and worse, daily. My life and country have both begun to collapse.
I’m pretty white-pilled when it comes to the human race on the whole, especially with China as the rising superpower, but Jesus. Global economy in shambles, political and civil unrest, and the worst existential threat in human history in climate change all at the same time.
What are the next 20 years going to bring?
I’m scared, and I have a really bad feeling about all of this.
I just got covid a month ago or so… I’ve been in and out of the healthcare field since 2018. I’ve been absolutely swarmed surrounded by people with Covid ever since and never caught it. I can’t believe people really believe it’s “basically over” when on the ground it seems like anyone and everyone who hasn’t had it yet is catching it.
I’ve also lost loved ones, friends, and residents in my line of work that I cared about a lot to it. I can barely even remember them though because the crisis is ongoing. I can’t mourn, only become overwhelmed by outbursts of horrific awareness occasionally penetrating the perpetual fugue state that is this ordeal.
Solidarity, comrade.
Solidarity. Stay safe. My sister graduated from med school in the middle of all this and I’m scared for her. Seems like we’re insisting on finding out how many times you can get covid before death is certain. It’s the worst.
