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.
Many people already replied with massive walls of text (which is good) and the general consensus seems to be yes.
So I’d like to say no, I don’t feel doom right now. It’s not that I’m blind as to what’s happening nor do I live in a utopian worldview where the future will be perfect, but I don’t feel doom. In a weird way I feel empowered by what’s happening around me and around the world and I’m excited about what might happen. There will be hardships off course but I’m also positive about the chances of socialism.
Keep your heads up comrades. Keep organizing and keep going into the streets. You’re not alone in this.
