    Born too late to hear anything more than echoes and escapist fantasy of mutual aid.
    Born too early to have any chance of the resulting problems being fixed, or even the chance to be a technology test subject (cryo and/or brain-in-a-jar… without involving a techbro) for some hope of escape.

    Born just in time to eat frozen burritos and waste away alone in

      our society might not be based around mutual aid but that does not mean that mutual aid can not exist in it. you can join ur local mutual aid groups or start something yourself if nothing exists in your area yet.

      life can be very draining and it is fair to not have the energy to act but that does not mean that nothing is happening

        I’m in semi-rural USA (no car, local trail closed), shut-in, health issues, etc. And it should be obvious I am speaking from my perspective, as not everybody is eating frozen burritos (I assume).

        Also some of the despair is lacking viable options to move elsewhere. Both on a local level due to lack of money and on a larger level lacking skills/transportation (or money again) etc.

        Sure this is not universal, but I feel pretty locked in where I’m at aside from the next step down of being homeless.
