I can already hear it. I know, I know, doomerism has been weaponized in order to keep the working class undereducated, depressed, drugged up, inert, or dead, and I’m falling for bourgeois tactics.
At the same time, though, I look around (even from a privileged, western perspective) and see things getting worse and worse, daily. My life and country have both begun to collapse.
I’m pretty white-pilled when it comes to the human race on the whole, especially with China as the rising superpower, but Jesus. Global economy in shambles, political and civil unrest, and the worst existential threat in human history in climate change all at the same time.
What are the next 20 years going to bring?
I’m scared, and I have a really bad feeling about all of this.
“I especially can’t afford to get it” just want to support this stance. People will give you push back - even on here! but this is 100% the truth. Making covid normal to get is a crime against humanity, like there should eventually be an international trial where people are sentenced like after WW2 - I suspect many of the same organizations are involved. Whether it is intentional or not, I think the mismanagement of covid has extremely eugenicist overtones and will contribute to the “third-worldization” of the west.
As a single cis male who wants children one day, the impact on fertility is something I refer people to, so they get an idea how impactful long covid can be. I also was reading a study and the first covid infection becomes an underlying condition for subsequent infections (so it will get worse if you get it over and over).
