We felt it last year. A building up of something. A sense of impending doom. Feelings of grim.

Things are worse especially with Trump making noises about using the American military to take resources. I don’t know who put the Panama canal and Greenland into his head but here we are. He is a guy who would do it too. Making us axis and not ally this go. That’s grim.

Pick and choose your outlets but don’t stick your head in the sand.

Not just you. Lots of negative feeling going around. If I could put a word to what I saw today, it would be "grim".

I feel that too. Doesn’t seem like anything good is coming anytime soon, and it’s -25 with 150k winds outside where I live.

Not the whole world, but definitely the neoliberalized imperial core and its neocolonized vassal states.

This isn’t a case of viral, grassroots bad mood/fascist vibes. It’s the predictable result of grinding, late-stage/finance/monopoly capitalism, of zombie neoliberalism. Even the incorrigibly liberal Chris Hedges saw this coming fifteen years ago in his book, The Death of the Liberal Class.

What the fuck did I just read?

[-] ghost_of_faso3@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

A quote by Gramsci and a loosely sourced opinion on the decaying corpse of neo-liberalism in the imperial core

Me too! People need to relax and stop doomscrolling so much.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

There is nothing to be optimistic about, so yes.

[-] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 0 points 18 hours ago

Plenty to be optimistic about...

A combination of both. More bad mood going around, impacting you and causing you to perceive things more negatively.
