PS: There's !poetry@lemmy.world if you like having your mind 'sploded on the daily
You can't fix it. Turn off the news. Go for a walk.
It's true that everything is shit. But everything has always been shit, whether you cared about it or not. And we're all still here.
The only difference between caring and not caring is that now you're miserable and anxious. And there's still nothing you can do.
Living in ignorance is hardly healthy though. You'll only be caught flat footed when the bad shit finally catches up to you. How long that takes is a matter of luck and privilege, for some people it's sooner rather than later.
Sure, but if you can't compartmentalise the stuff that effects you from the stuff that doesn't, then it's not worth sacrificing your mental health over most of it.
Do what you can, so when the end comes you know you did your part. Go vegan, ride a bike, vote left, shop ethically. It does a lot to curb the unease.

Very reminiscent of this poem
Before I click, I'm going to guess "Whitey On The Moon"?
Edit: Did not disappoint. I wanna give credit where credit is due.
Reminds me of Matt Buchele (mattbooshell) 's video "disorienting times". Bouncing between atrocity on social media and you boss wants you to fix a typo on slide 3.

The insta that followed that one for me was this one, and this is singularly the most legendary thing I've ever seen another human being do
Could you give context for us who would rather not go to a facebook site please?
I will describe it, literally.
A man on a tiny motorcycle with a microwave on his head, closed covering his face, comes to a screeching halt in front of the camera, opening the door as he does. This reveals his face and a complicated mechanism to keep it on his head. He stands using the momentum of the motorcycle to propel him up and says, angrily "I know a lot of you hatin' motherfuckers want me to fail, but guess what? It ain't happenin! You know why? Cuz I got a motherfuckin microwave on my head!" He leans over to close the door, remounts his tiny motorcycle, and scoots away in to the city.
Reads like alt right zoomer doomer bullshit justifying that they aren't brainwashed by their republican family lol.
ITT: people angry at the suggestion both parties are fascists on opposite ends of the spectrum
Because the mental laziness of suggesting that conservatives are the same as liberals is literally destroying the world.
But nevermind that. bOtH sIdEs
Funny here I thought it was the capitalist order that’s destroying the world.
Y’know, the one upheld by liberals and conservatives alike.
People keep telling me that capitalism’s the problem. We should vote against that. /s
Liberals and liberalism are conservative, both sides are not the same but they aren't as far apart as they should be.
I've heard this bullshit before. Keep peddling it elsewhere
K
Fascism is purely on the right, it's a violent entrenchment of Capitalist power.
Opposite ends of what spectrum? Where are the left leaning candidates in America?
