    You may be prepared to give up, but the rest of us aren’t. I hope you find your hope before it’s too late.

      Who’s the rest of us? As far as I can tell, there isn’t anybody actually doing shit. Well, maybe one or two people. And a misguided and toothless protest isn’t going to achieve anything, no matter how many people show up. I hope you find your rest of us before it’s too late.

      going on a half-century and seeing everyone make the same stupid mistakes over and over, seeing generations not only not pass down wisdom but actively abandon the next generation over and over, it makes it hard to have hope.

      I respect and support anyone trying to make change, I will continue to do what I can in my situation, but I don’t have expectations anymore. At a point I’ll be retreating to the woods with my loved ones to close out the world and spend more time gardening than scrolling.

        and seeing everyone make the same stupid mistakes over and over

        Propaganda has improved. People don’t have communities. It’s worse. People have to be more clever than before to compensate.
