The more you think society is broken, the more you are going to feel the need to implement some radical solution.

This is an advanced trap a lot of progressives fall into.

 

That’s a valid point. 

However, we are right now in such an unchartered territory of darkness and the worst hasn’t even come anywhere close to happening yet.

What uncharted territory?

The only aspects significantly uncharted is our technology and the scale of society.

Everything else is the same old, same old.

Conversely though, to feel that everything is okay is to enable and prolong the corrupt status quo.

Yes, that's the tension.

Prepare for bread lines in many parts of the world.

I had family that died in nazi concentration camps… I believe I’ll cope and survive this. Not saying it will be easy but I’ll try to accept what is the best I can.

Just keep in mind whenever these worst case scenarios don’t happen you never own up to it and say how you were wrong and they didn’t come to pass. I don’t see any benefit in ever taking a viewpoint where you focus in on the challenges in life, see life as inadequate because of then and black pill yourself. This is not truthful and not nurturing your connection to the bigger perspective. The expanded perspective of god. Do not forget this. This is a spiritual forum. Our ancestors went through some tough times and so will we. We will try our best and deal with whatever unfolds. Being safe was always a fallacy and there isn’t some utopia of humanity that exists, where there is some end goal or standard to pass for humanity where now it’s “all fine.” Some of us will face challenges worse than others but let it unfold and trust you will navigate it the best you can. There will l always be challenges, change and transformation. This is where liberals disconnect themselves. They think their ideals and aspirations should be reality (they aren’t) and they disconnect themselves from what is by fixating on ideas that aren’t reality. Liberals do not live in reality when they do this. Don’t think because you want something or believe things should be a certain alway that therefore somehow means that want is now reality, it isn’t.
