    Because, goddammit, a better world is possible! A lot of the time shit sucks and everything is expensive and I wanna just go to bed and never wake up.

    But most of my problems are problems millions or even billions of other people struggle with, and those don’t get solved by opting out of life.

    What’s more, those problems are man-made. They’re the result of systems designed by mortal men just like me.

    So, I stay alive. Because the only way to out-vote, out-number, overpower, and / or annihilate those bastards is to be alive.

      No it isn’t.

      Because the only way to out-vote, out-number, overpower, and / or annihilate those bastards is to be alive.

      One person railing against 7B isn’t going to do shit.

      Life and the world are a lost cause. In my 20s I thought I could do something about it. Now at 40 I realise I’m impotent against the world.

        And what exactly did you do about it in your 20s?

        Sip IPAs and complain? And then nothing changed? I’m shocked.
