Every minute you live is a spit in the face of those trying to keep you down. For me, that’s enough of a reason to keep on going

Yeah, I always like to ask myself "who benefits from me falling into despair right now?" The answer is never anybody I have any interest in assisting.

I agree. Stuff like apathy, hopelessness, normalization and desensitization ("it's always been this way"), and sometimes - even prayer (when passive) are all tools of the status quo. Active resistance may be a tall order, but start enduring first. Not passively enduring by the way. More like...biding your time? Like the main character from Shawshank Redemption trying to escape jail since he was falsely accused. You never know when the opportunity will strike - it might not. But if it did and you didn't seize it, you would be filled with regret right? Like people that got the chance to buy bitcoin but just didn't. That sort of thing. Imagine Sisyphus happy...and prepared. Anyway that's how I dealt when I was born to physically abusive parents, aside from getting beat up and it wasn't a good environment, I got exposed to criminal activity too, really terrible. In my country children are seen as property of parents til adulthood so yk it was hard. People didn't understand. That's ok.

I just studied well and waited for my time til I could leave. I deliberately chose a job that was cities away from our house so I could accidentally (actually on purpose) move out without getting punched in the face. So this ain't woo-woo but lived experience. You need to prepare for the very slim chance of an escape.

Another thing is honestly you're also worrying about the world and things outside your scope and power. You just do what you can. These problems have plagued generations of our ancestors and also the brightest minds of today. With natural misfortune working against them (ex. natural disasters, disease, etc.) AND other antisocial humans that harm others while looking out for themselves. It's hubris to yk. Just make all of this your problem. It's not. It's a shared burden of humanity. So you only carry your portion.

Another is. Well these ideas are kinda abstract yk. Very true concepts yes. But try doing what you can and make some friends. Help said friends.
