I felt this a little bit too much. I’m tired too. I’m tired of being tired. I’m tired of picking myself up again and again, saying it’s fine and moving forward.
I'm tired

I had a serious injury that meant staying in bed most of the day for a couple of years. It sucked hard, and I did none of my hobbies, just watched all of Netflix.
I’m mostly better now and am able to go to my job which also sucks.

I just started letting it all out. Its the same as societal collapse but happening in real time.

That’s why I never really fell into religion. Like 10 times in recent history, the apocalypse or rapture was supposed to happen; people were clapping their hands for Jesus’ return, thinking they’d be chosen to ascend or go whatever. For how long exactly? Have they always been like this? I can’t help but stand there wondering if those people aren’t wrapped too tight and loose with reality; they kind of worry me actually, it’s like they want the world to end.

people use alcohol to escape from certain things. i know people who did the reverse with work, they use work to escape from dealing problems at home.

in a very interesting book i read a good long time ago called “the culture of narcissism”, this is known as as Primary Narcissism. it is the most common form of human narcissism which is basically the desire to return to the womb.

When i was in a bad job and bad future prospects situation i fantasized/hoped for this. Was into zombie movies (id be among the first ones eaten, really).
Corona & homeoffice changed things. Lock down was bad but iwas already training for new job and had no time to go out.
Saving the commute is the only way i could imagine having time to raise kids. Well and another shit job that is also very chill because economy is bad so no reason to fight for raise.
Now, job might aswell be non existant by next year and all the shitty failing companies are pushing for RTO thinking mobile work is the reason of the fail, not idiot managers.
So, yes life is becoming unbearable again and i think this is part of the reason people are protesting aggressively, voting extreme parties in hopes of easement.
Politicians answer with more surveilliance, police brutality and less democracy.
I think with AI taking jobs, more extreme climate events we will see this more and more until revolution/civil war/collapse in europe & america.

I live in one of the fattest towns in the country. No chance I would be first eaten, they would take days just to eat through the outer perimeter of the town before they get close to my house.

At least that kind of fantasy is a real outcome rather than the delusional cope mechanism that has everyone believing this kind of reality should continue. The one where nothing significantly changes and we keep going one step forward, 2 steps back. All while people die, the inequality continues, etc.
I don’t like being false about where we are and where we should be. This is not right.

yeah this motivates pretty much every isekai anime series.

We do still need to finish the civil war. That’s something better we could be doing with our time, instead of doing what billionaires and their conservative minions want us to do.

This has always been a thing. Who knows if it’s moreso now or not.
If you don’t like your situation then it’s kind of natural to romanticise some great upheaval that would shatter the status quo.

The problem is that these people are so far away from reality that they think this would benefit them. They have no clue how their live would really be in case of a breakdown when the four horsemen going havoc.

Alternatively, they’re being so crushed by reality that they understand the outcome and still think it would be better.

That’s even worse. So they’re ok with sending everyone else into a disaster knowing full well what will happen?

I get excited during wildfire season.
Maybe my house will burn down and I’ll get to go on a road trip for a few months while it gets sorted out…
SoloCritical@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Sometimes I think about it too, but then I’m like damn… if everything goes to total shit, Will I be able to sit around playing games all day still?? If the answer is no, then that usually brings me back to reality haha.

That’s not fair. That’s not fair at all. There was time now. There was all the time I needed.
ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
We all know it’s news that’s the problem
All these horrible things have always happened, even worse, but less frequently because lower global population. And we’d never find out about it because they’re shooting babies on the other side of the world
Is it bad that we know about it? No? But I’m trying to catch up, digest it, let it help form my opinions, then turn off notifications, read a book, go outside T_T spend time with safe people irl. I hate leaving my nest, but it feels good to stretch my wings. I’m trying to limit myself to one or two days online. It’s not working

We got the shutdown during COVID and I think it scared people because nobody enjoyed that. Accidentally did more to keep people invested in keeping the shitshow going than anything else.
BorgDrone@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
The deaths caused by COVID-19 were terrible, but the whole lockdown thing was awesome. One of the best periods of my life so far.
We should have a lockdown for a couple of months every few years just to give everyone some time to unwind and relax.

I’ll be honest, for some of us “essential” workers it was hell. We didn’t get that time, we didn’t get bonus compensation, we didn’t get space. I lost multiple family members during those events and didn’t even get to say goodbye to them. I say this out of genuine but not negative jealousy. Be thankful for that time you had. The way people describe it to me makes me want to agree with you about the world should take turns shutting down now and then to give people time and space to connect.

I suffered alot during the lockdown, living alone without even a balcony was brutal.
fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It was some of the best times for me. At home with the family just hanging out and not getting sick. I realize a lot of people got sick and many died.

I enjoyed the Covid shut down, meant I got to stay home, no plans to make, just peace. Loved every minute of it.

I would wish for a major Desaster to “reset” society. Just because it’s so bad. Fight-club-style. Rework capitalism ground-rules, kill religions, remove real-estate from private hands,…
Even though it does not affect me currently. Living the life. No work, just hobbies, traveling and fun. Didn’t even notice covid or the lockdowns, and wifey and me still didn’t have it.

This is the topic of a very unique and largely unknown TV show called “Paranoia Agent.”

An anime that’s definitely worth watching, but the opening is what I really love:
