Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Been on r/collapse and things look really bad struggling to find the will to live knowing I won’t have a future anymore

What r/Collapse users talk about is usually worst-case scenarios. Also, when I used to visit that subreddit a few years ago, it seemed to me the that people in there generally assume there is no way out, as if things won't stop getting worse no matter what. I think we are in the darkest point before the dawn, personally.

Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.

Yes, it's critical that we not fall into fatalistic/deterministic thinking. We are always wrestling to decide what the future turns out to be. We aren't just passengers.
