A just world wouldn’t require us to exert so much mental energy on securing our basic needs. It’s exhausting. Just remember to step away now and then to avoid burnout
I understand what you mean. Just remember that beating the fascists requires all of us. No single person can defeat fascism. As long as you still show up when needed, mental breaks are ok.
When do I get a break, though? Fascism is on the rise everywhere. Climate change will just make it worse. I’m going to be dealing with this shit until I die. I’ve taken breaks and when I start paying attention again it’s just worse than before. It’s like I’m the only one who read the rubric for a group project.
Exactly. People that get fed up with politics are usually the empathetic, moral people we literally need running, voting, volunteering, and donating! So take care of yourself, but please come back when you can…
Then they’d have you exactly where they want you to be. The people who are working against your interests are using the divisiveness precisely to make people look away. Once you look away they’re free to pull their nefarious shit.
I hate that I have to pay attention. Sometimes I feel like if I took a ball peen hammer to my prefrontal cortex I’d be so much happier.

If I do that then I’m being bad and letting fascism win.
I just want one election where the fate of the world doesn’t hang in the balance.

Where’s my hammer…
Move to Australia. We vote on every’fucking’thing and its rarely end of the world type shit.
I’m thinking that’s my way out. Find a country that’s not an empire and move there. Then my actions won’t allow a hospital to be bombed with impunity.
Remember: It’s okay to check out for a little bit and take a break. Just don’t do it for so long that you come back not being able to catch up.
