        Take a break from social media and the 24 hour news cycle. Join a political action group if you feel the need, being with like-minded folks can help and you might make a difference. But otherwise sitting home and obsessing over everything that’s wrong with the world will just drive you nuts.

        Given your past posts have you considered just sitting out politics?

        Like you obviously have opinions but maybe consider that they don’t have enough facts to justify further action…

        Maybe think about everything you so broadly gesture at and consider your role (or absence of role) before posting yet more comments. Or just hand wave some more…

            IDK, every other tankie here gets wet mentioning Russia or China, so there are two options already…

              Yeah you cant just move to Russia or China and just be a citizen. I don’t know what kind of fucking weird fantasy world you’re living in. I’m pretty sure China and Russia also have capitalism too so I still don’t hear anything fucking useful from you.

      For me, it’s the massive medical debt that only seems to get bigger. The cost of living inching higher and higher, while wages remain mostly stagnant. The expectation to provide for others at the expense of time, stress and my own health. It’s not a good time to have a family with needs.
