Might be a boomer take, but if you’re willing to go so far as to not exist anymore because the world is whack, I don’t think it’s an unrealistic ask to show up to a city council meeting some time, run for local office, break some stupid-ass laws and feed the homeless or go to a protest, etc. If we all woke up tomorrow and decided to make a different world, we could. I would appreciate your help in making this a better place to live for all beings, it would really mean a lot to me.
We’re very isolated and feel powerless. You can do all that but there’s no guarantee you will see any change. In fact, you’re more likely to become even more jaded when you find out your local council is dominated by business and religious interests.
