The fucking world is burning, Nazis are back, we're about to be eradicated by ai, food shortages, fuel prices rising, people can't afford to live, racism and bigotry is on the rise and seems to be protected, corporations are working us to death, governments are actively trying to remove our rights... There's a fuck tonne of reasons to be angry and tried now.

I think they were just vaguely talking about the cold war. But yeah, could've been me specific. It's a challenge no doubt, I don't blame people for being pessimistic
I try to be as optimistic that it's gonna all settled down, but it's getting harder to keep that optimism up.
