what a shitty way to view life

the future is absolutely changeable. but don't be depressed, be angry.

Of course you can fucking change the future.

Are you currently employed? If you go into work and tell your boss to fuck off and you quit, you have HUGELY impacted your future.

Or if you take some time for hobbies, self-improvement......... just wipe down your stove to make your habitation a little more habitable - you've improved your future.

Line from old mate Gandalf:

"So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us"

I can change my future significantly, and I can impact society's future slightly. My worry regarding something should be proportional to how much control I have over it, I think that's reasonable.

"We know things are bad, worse than bad! They're crazy! It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller..."

The future is changeable as more people get involved to change it

vote

People saying you can't change the future a month before an important midterm where we have a chance to flip the government out of the hands of a bigoted fascist who has literal camps is a pretty shitty take...

Like, this is the worst possible time for doomerism.

Even if you're convinced voting doesn't matter, it's worth the effort just in case you're wrong

A lot of the worst people in America are spending a shit ton of money to depress turnout,big nothing else vote just to spite billionaires and trump

Invest in your mental health, y'all. Recognize the toxic environment you're in and purge depressing content like this from your feed. Be active in curating a better experience for yourself.

Virtual therapy is cheap as hell in Mexico. Psychologists are available. I pay like 35 a session

OP, no shade. I get the sentiment but most of your content is super depressing. Hope you feel better soon

Not with that attitude

I'm a determinist so, yeah, I agree, I don't think you can change the future. But I don't think it does any good to be depressed about it. We don't know what the future's going to be, but I don't think it's guaranteed to be a dystopian nightmare. I think there's a good chance the future could be hard, but hard times can bring about a lot of important changes.
