I don't have the energy to try and explain current events, capitalism, history and physics to you.
Prepare yourself for the worst, hope for the best, and lower your expectations a bit because you're definitely going to be disappointed.
I understand current events, capitalism, and history better than most. Physics doesn't relate to our conversation because I am not suggesting or advocating for infinite growth.
I suggest that you engage with your home instance slrpnk.net with your views for more stimulating conversation and discourse and browse the community and expose yourself to the movement with an open mind. There is plenty of activity on /r/solarpunk, as well.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not preparing myself for the worst or "lowering my expectations". We either commit collective suicide and devolve into barbarism and scarcity or we choose a different path that is more desirable.
You do you bro.
You too, though I can't say it isn't disappointing that you've seemingly given up on the world.
I've likely met more shitty people than you. It's hard to stay optimistic about human nature after growing up in It's underbelly.
I've been through some pretty rough experiences too by most people's measurements. No harsh judgement here, everybody is free to feel however they wish as far as I am concerned. I empathize and understand.
