Lately I've had a really hard time finding pleasure in anything.

The world is such a depressing inhumane shit show at the moment. And I'm tired of being gaslit by every government from my local borough administration all the way to the federal government.

Capitalism and fascism had taken a hold on the world's nations the likes of which we have never seen in the history of humankind.

And the worst part is I feel people have been indoctrinated to as point where we're never gong to collectively get out of it. I don't even think a violent revolution is possible because people are too fucking dumb to notice what's wrong.

And the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude that capitalism has brought has ruined any chance of salvation. Empathy and solidarity are ridiculed as being some woke mind virus.

The world's climate is beyond fucked. There's wars and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the Epstein class in our name. We keep electing wolves in sheep's clothing who win our votes on fake promises to help us then turn against us and double down on policies that make life more difficult and increase our level of misery. Unless you're a billionaire CEO or a politician, your life is absolutely worthless. You're nothing more than a low value resource. And you don't have freedom. Neither of speech or otherwise. Not as long as what you say or do goes against what the elites want.

We're fucked. I don't foresee any future worth living in.

I feel like anhedonia is becoming a real problem

Lack of joy. I'm struggling with that myself, at the moment. I find things that make me content, or even happy, but nothing more.

Ah got it.

Yeah. It's especially hard at the moment. Feels like trying to swim upstream to avoid failing down a large waterfall.
