Unironically why I embraced activism. Will I create meaningful change to this hellish timeline? No. However, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't try.
yeah and the world is increasingly becoming one I can't function in. I have to have rules that are at least vaguely equitable but more importantly whatever they are they need to be consitantly followed. Im not good in a corruptocracy.
I would say that without activism we would have no society and no order, and you wouldn't be able to live anyway.
Tragedy of the commons. Some people just can't appreciate what went into them being able to fuck everyone else over.
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY.
I'd think it would be the opposite, despair out of the futility of it rather than spending your time trying to achieve happiness while it's still possible.
