    Warning I’m kind of in a doomer mood right now so this is not as optimistic as many in this thread. Apologies in advanced if this upsets anyone.

    Hopeful for humanity? Maybe. It’s a knifes edge to surviving climate change and the only way that happens is for global capitalism to fail faster that I think it is. It’s definitely one it’s way down. Shits really starting to get shaky. I am just not sure it’s happening fast enough. I hope that happens, but my the hope I have that it will happen is questionable.

    For myself? No. Not really. I’m basically just trying to see how long I can hold onto whatever peacefulness I have in my life for as long as I can. Eventually the west will fall but as I live there my life will get worse and worse and as a communist I’m sure I will be attacked for it eventually. I’m sure the feds already have a list with my name one it. Even if that didn’t happen all it would take is a couple months of no electricity and I’m fucked. Plain and simple. I live now in a little bubble where I get on here and am happy talking to comrades but realistically I’m just hiding from the part of me that knows just how bad things will get and how woefully unprepared I am for it. Yet I honestly hope this happens. If the west were to fall apart tomorrow. Turn into utter chaos as the empire crumbles. I would be fucked, but life on this planet may just be able to survive.

      I understand this sentiment and share your feelings tbh. I am completely unprepared for shit to go down and when it does (in the next decade I believe) we will be in for some crazy times. But like you said it’s what is going to have to happen for life on this planet to survive so I’m down if yall are lol

      Edit: also Snowden showed us that everyone is on a watch list, some are just higher priorities. I tend to think of myself as “future threat” as an inert communist, lmao
