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.

Limit your exposure to rage inducement, being perpetually angry just bleeds into other areas of your day-to-day.

And by saying that I don't mean roll over and play dead.

Look for joy where you can, fight battles you can win even if it only is drawing groucho moustaches or sarcastic word bubbles on advertising hoardings with marker pen.

@calcius we have recently had fun painting over racist flags or tearing them down (the UK had a wave of 'patriotic' hoisting of flags on lampposts in a lot of areas, designed to intimidate anyone who wasn't white). That was fun, but now we've run out of flags nearby!

It would be terrible if people were to write graffiti along the lines of

"St George's father was from Turkey and his mother was from Palestine"

@calcius that is PERFECT. It's got Monty Python "your mother was a hamster" vibes to it.
