(pun intended as a coping mechanism)
I suppose this thread is semi-related to >>348206 → but I don't think it's exactly-related to depression, but I felt it warrants it's own thread because I've yet to see similar sentiment to it.
I am fucking sick, angry and tired of the "Everything is horrible, you should be afraid," doomshit message that keeps fucking thrown around in communication circles.
The news has posted more fucking reports on mass (and school) shootings in the past five years, than there have been in the fifty years BEFORE they decided to push even more of the doom/gloom agendas. Tumblr and doomerfags have fucking colonized reddit like a bad mold infestation. People on tech imageboards are still screaming about software insecurity and spyware while still failing to show how to actually defeat the threats.
Yet at the same time, the woke club's members and leaders are eating each other alive. They are actually losing profits because they sacrificed their products for (((the message))). Big tech has stagnated, coasting on solely the profits of established properties, while they pump out failure after failure on other shit. NFTs have imploded. The globohomo's own incompetence is peeling their lattice apart. The eyes wide shut clubs are just a bunch of butthurt aging hipsters, and internet "journalism," is crashing like a trainwreck.
Hell, even personally, I've been going through a self-exploration and realization journey. I've gotten a lot better with stupid shit that used to get me triggered as fuck. Hell, I've seen things that show, maybe, things aren't as bad as the assholes behind the TV screen make it out to be. Things that used to piss me off I've been giving less a shit about, but fuck me if sometimes they just hit the fucking sore spots from shit that I've been repressing.
I know things have been shittier than usual, but why do people keep acting like it will always stay that way or get worse? I'm fucking tired of things getting worse. They act like "OH NO, LOOK AT THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE AVALANCHE OF SHIT IS JUST GETTING STARTED,". Fuck them, they don't actually fucking know if it's just getting started, things have been out of whack for the past ten fucking years and it took them eight of those ten fucking years to actually see how fucked shit's already been.
And yet, these people act like those who maintain a positive mindset are denying reality... Negative-attitudes can deny reality too. These people internalize the message of "oh no, everything is so horrible, here's why," when they can't fucking comprehend just how bad "worse," actually gets... I've already experienced how bad 'worse' gets. I'm fucking done with it.
I'm just so fucking tired of the neighsayers and ziggerpills /mlpol/. I'm just fucking tired of it.
I just want fun back.

There is a balance to strike. On one hand, there is indeed a worse coming because we haven't even hit what happened a century ago in the Great Depression. If it happened before, it is possible to experience again. This means that it is logical to think we might head to devastating lows if we haven't hit rock bottom yet.
It is true that we don't have an appropriate balance though. Doom is easy to find and post. It takes more effort to post something good and creative, so it is less likely to be found. It is needed though because no one can live through only a pessimistic outlook. There has to be a goal to work towards that you can see results from to feel like there is indeed worth and a level of control you have over your life. This allows for the individual to have the confidence to face a doom and gloom reality, knowing both the extent of it and how to defy it.
To get the fun back, you have to help it return. Something fun might be discussing projects you want to see happen. Perhaps a pony drawing or animation. Perhaps a goal for the board to work towards with updates on progress. Simply by suggesting the fun, it can return with some effort.

When they have strings they use them. The means they use go as such: monetary/trade control, propaganda, crime, terror tactics, blackmail.
You are right (((they))) and their muppets are destructing themselves. More importantly they fucked up because although their self created problem solution cycle is pending it falls apart due to a myriad of reasons. Various sources about why 2030 is important miss a tiny imperceptable outlier that honestly they couldn't have guessed. But due to those (or that) all of (((their))) goals are dashed to nonexistence.
On stuff more tangible the building of character and intrapersonal relationships make this time important to self reflect on how to be ever lasting.

You are drowning in a teapot.
The solution is simple, avoid normals as much as you can. They are cancer.

You are dealing with NPCs. From a logical standpoint they are not even human, but entities without critical thinking, automatons roaming while manifesting their programming.
Relax, there's nothing you can do about it. Just understand the stakes and how the game is rigged, then adapt accordingly.

I know you're expecting that because how the economy's been going, but the "repeating-of-history" part is actually in the cryptosphere:
1. Idiots looking for easy money get told of a way to get rich quick and easy
2. They put their entire livelihood on the line, no safety net, nothing to catch them when they fall
3. They take out exorbitant loans, putting all their eggs in one basket.
4. There is also no regulation on this (relatively) new system of finance.
5. Most of the people who actually made it big did it years before and have already made their money.
6. Shit falls through the floor.
7. The people who put money into it are fiscally, emotionally and proverbially fucked.

Thanks for that man. I'll try and figure something out. And thank you too >>348324

Avoidance is my go-to coping mechanism for shit like this. The problem is, I due to who I live with, I can't always avoid media sources with inflammatory opinions, nor am I in a financial position to relocate from my current home. Hell, where I live, the housing market is so fucked, that literally 90% of the houses around my childhood towns are fucking seasonal vacation homes for rich cunts and airbnbs. the 10% is people who've already been here for decades. I feel like I can't live where I want to live because of how fucked the housing market is, and even if I had millions, I wouldn't want to put my money into something that fucked.

Funny thing.
>Just understand the stakes and how the game is rigged, then adapt accordingly.
Funny you say that. I remember reading in Vortex Blaster, how the protagonist managed to break a rigged casino by counting cards, and points out that, if they just shuffled the cards normally, they wouldn't have been exploited so hard.
Funny how that goes. Either way, thanks /mlpol/.
