Things aren’t so bad if you avoid doom scrolling and comparing yourself to others. Almost any other time was worse to be alive in.
Saying "It is what it is" when it is all that it is

This is true. A lot of our suffering is worst I our minds than in our realities. This also doesn’t discredit those who’s sufferings are great, and require a great amount of help.

Yep. Lemmy and Reddit are absolutely terrible for trying to have a positive outlook. If you want to be mad, come here. I’m sure other doomscrollers are the same, I just don’t have any.

Obama campaigned on getting past it. ( Hope amd Change ) but then he didn’t. Corporations got their bailouts. OWS was cleared violently with the cameras off. BLM notice law enforcement kill a lot of people. The disposition matrix was a thing. The IWOT went on and on. The mass surveillance state was a thing. The economy was better but 88% of households were in precarity, and a lot of people were homeless.
And then Trump won by the EC.
So Ive been waiting for things to get better for a long, long time. I’ve just stopped expecting the suck to ever reverse, or even ebb.

It’ll pass. It’ll pass like a kidney stone, but it’ll pass.

Not before something else that also really needs to pass comes along, no rest for the wicked.

What doesn’t kill you leaves a scar that lasts forever, physical or emotional.
