I have idiotophobia. Basically when I see somebody stupid, or see the effects of stupidity, I feel pain and rage. In the first years of my life I didn't see a lot of stupidity, because mostly everything had rational explanation. Right after the start of XXI century, stupidity started spreading over any imaginable levels. I almost forgot how it is to feel laid back and trust people's intelligence. I consume a lot of alcohol to anesthetize my brain in order to not feel pain and rage because of the epidemic of stupidity.

Hope is useless; it is intellectually lazy and requires no action. Our enslavers aren't sitting around hoping we don't fight back, they are taking action so that we can't fight back. Trudeau's actions showed how screwed we already are because previous generations hoped what was happening was just a passing fad or phase the following generations were going through.

Probably depends upon what one means with it.

Giving up is the worst. Hope is the antidote in that case.

I was in no way advocating inaction. Some people seem to be very demoralized, feeling like crap and have given up, I mean that's not what we need.

You, and you alone, have been given a quest by God to save humanity!

The quest is not about sitting in a sofa.

I agree that it's dark, especially the last 2-3 years which feel like 10+ years of decline compressed into 2-3 years. We need all we can get at this point, and use every method available.
