How is anybody coping with how powerless we are ?
I feel extremely exhausted with the way the world is running , we are born into a system that was created long before us and we will always suffer the consequences . You are expected to work , go home , sleep and repeat , you are lucky if you have 2-4 hours of free time in a day, all for making end's meat .
The money you make and the work you do benefit a company and it all goes up to a few hundred people who take all the profit and give you scraps , they benefit from raising prices so they make even MORE money while you have less and less , you are born in a poverty cage and they taunt the carrot of escape in front of you .
On top of that i think most people have heard of the things the uber rich do with their money especially after some certain files , how sick and twisted their values have become . And with the money they do have they pour an abundance of funds into politics to make us fight against each other , i am so tired of seeing " oh men do this , oh women do that , oh white people , oh black people " as if we aren't part of the same sinking ship , yes there are ways in which we hurt each other based on things like race and religion and sexuality and those are important topics to discuss so that we don't repeat the same heinous things our previous generations did to minorities and so on but i feel like they are being exasperated by the algorithms and the hatred that is pushed in online spaces .
I understand that life is finite and one singular person is not likely to have a grasp on how far we have come , while it does all look bleak now i understand we have made LEAPS in safety , mortality rates have lowered , we discover new medicine for diseases thought uncurable , like some things ARE going good , i am not a historian and i am not a scientist so i have little information to how the world was 100 years ago or even more , i know bits and pieces . But i also know how much the greed of the 1% stunted the advancements of our society , doctors and scientists that are working on projects that could revolutionise our society disappearing and it makes me extremely upset with how every thing we have overcome in the past had to be a battle against the 1% , a tough battle where people died trying to raise the alarms or be better .
I honestly don't know what i am expecting from this post , do not argue with me as i simply do not care if you have opposing views , i wish for a world where everyone is equal where money is not a power of destruction and where life is valued more than profit , i know it's likely impossible but i just wanted to get things off my chest , if anyone has any tips on how to i guess stay positive or like .. cope ? those are very welcomed.
