Here's a question I'd love an answer to. How does everyone else cope with the rage? The rage with how shitty life is under neoliberalism, how much friction there is to trying to live a good life without destroying the environment or helping sustain the billionaires who are screwing everything. How do you cope? I'm not coping, I'm just almost perpetually angry, which doesn't feel like a healthy way to life.

@RichBartlett I mostly cope by tuning out from it. Not especially admirable perhaps, but not uncommon I think. My post hoc justification is that I only have so many spoons to spend, and I have to ration them. In a way I’m fortunate because I have a *lot* going on most of the time, so not much space for brooding. If I ever stopped to think about the world in any depth, I think I might go quite mad.

@hedders fair point, and an entirely valid approach. I probably doom scroll too much, that's a cycle to break.
