    A just world wouldn’t require us to exert so much mental energy on securing our basic needs. It’s exhausting. Just remember to step away now and then to avoid burnout

      If I do that then I’m being bad and letting fascism win.

      I just want one election where the fate of the world doesn’t hang in the balance.

        I understand what you mean. Just remember that beating the fascists requires all of us. No single person can defeat fascism. As long as you still show up when needed, mental breaks are ok.

          When do I get a break, though? Fascism is on the rise everywhere. Climate change will just make it worse. I’m going to be dealing with this shit until I die. I’ve taken breaks and when I start paying attention again it’s just worse than before. It’s like I’m the only one who read the rubric for a group project.

          Where’s my hammer…

          I’m thinking that’s my way out. Find a country that’s not an empire and move there. Then my actions won’t allow a hospital to be bombed with impunity.
