I'm terrified of the idea of a revolution and I'm okay with admitting this. On one level change is scary and I want things just to go back to the idealized view of the world I had in my childhood, and on the other I know it'll never be the same.
I was going to stay logged off today, but I had to chip in, because that last part? I feel like that all the time. I can't get away from the idea that civilization is going to end in my lifetime - or that we'll completely wipe ourselves out with climate damage. Realistically, I know it probably won't be that bad, but...even if it isn't, I don't want to be on the vanguard. I don't want to have to make a new order or world or civilization or anything; I just want to have a life.
It's a scary time, and it's hard to know what to do about it, if we can do anything about it. I admire you for having that optimism.
