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.

I uh... I actually spend a fair bit of time dissociating.

I dunno that it's a _good_ thing but... Yeah, I'm out of it a lot. I have _rage_ cycles. I spit fury into the interwebs ether. Sometimes it helps when folks respond, sometimes not.

Sometimes, I laugh when I don't want to cry.

Sometimes, I cry.

@401matthall its nice knowing how many people feel the same. And anything which protects your sanity is legit, so disassociating is understandable, though it's weird that we love in a world where so many people are doing that!
