How do you cope with how society seems to be headed? Honestly, it's gotten me very depressed to look at how crappy society is to minorities and women. With literal nazis gaining power, a large number of people vocal against people of color and LGBT people, people actively against women and still trying to undermine them in nerd culture and in general (also only seeing them as sex objects).
I know this may be the wrong place to post (I may just get called an SJW and told to kill myself) but I honestly just need to ask people here what they do to cope. I also can't go to /pol/ with this cause it's entirely alt-right and I'll just get laughed to page 10
What specifically has you concerned?
>literal nazis gaining power
Are you referring to Trump? If so you're belittling the suffering of my ancestors who were murdered by the actual nazis. Trump is a pretty disgusting person, but he is not a nazi and please don't call him one.

First off, let me start by saying what an entitled idiot you are. Look at the entirety of fucking history. The big picture. There are ebbs and flows in society that goes liberal and conservative. It's an ongoing struggle of ups and downs. To be depressed with the situation is to be ignorant of what others in the past as gone through. I guarantee you that today, things are wayyyyy better than it has been in any period of time towards LGBTQ, ect. So chill the fuck out.

what about ancient greece where they had gay orgies all the time?
>>18099544
no I'm talking about the alt-right who are gaining power and want to do the same awful acts they did to your people to other races, including blacks and arabs. I know Trump isn't a nazi, don't worry I'm not that ignorant.

Yes, but we are returning to that point now. More and more rights are being taken away from minorities. People are more vocal about their distaste to them. And yes, it is better than things were back then, but that still doesn't mean I should be happy in seeing things fail around me.

such as?
>>18099534
Fucking SJW, you're the one who causes all this deliquescence
I don't hope you die because i'm not a bad guy but you're absolutely retarded and you can go fuck yourself
you ditch the identity politics and get prepared, faggot
>>18099559
you are fucking braindead. I would ask if that stuff sounded better in your head, but it's clear you don't have one
I hope you get cured of your sickness.

I take solace in the fact that my state at the least is filled with rational people across the political spectrum and that in the end there are simply more of us who aren't backwards bigots so any hiccups that may occur in the present are just that, hiccups.
I'm more concerned about how fucked environmental policies are becoming and how it's spearheaded by old fucks who won't live to see the impact

Just skip to the insult

well I can't very well tailor the insult until I know where you come from, now can I?

Back at that time in Greece you could only have sex with your wife for procreation. If you wanted sex for pleasure the laws were that you do it with the same sex, not so much that everyone was necessarily gay or bi.
Don't worry OP. America is more woke than ever. Senators are literally running scared from town hall meetings because they're afraid of their constituents who are made because they're getting fucked over and they're tired of it. A city that entirely voted Trump just had a restaurant owner and great pillar of their community detained for being illegal. The mayor, police chief and head prosecutor of the town wrote letters on his behalf speaking against his deportation. I think it can only get better from here actually.
The think about people like this is they're stupid, have no sympathy and they don't realize something is bad until it affects them personally. And now it is.

cope? shit, i've been feeling celebratory since the 23rd of last june and it's only gotten soaringly better. dunno what to tell you hun. dunno what you'd actually listen to, if anything at all even. if you wanted to hear it yet you wouldn't still be this worked up over nothing. hmm. deep breaths when you get overwhelmed or start to panic, k? gotta will yourself to calm down. generally speaking my ways of coping with stress are conflict resolution and/or distraction via productivity, cuddling, & comic relief so maybe try those. outside of that, just try to focus on self-improvement and making your family proud and being an asset to your community. oh, and the stuff you're worried about? verify why you believe it's cause for concern. that'll do you more good than anything else once you're ready to let it.

You're brainwashed and fucking retarded. Get off the internet/media to tell you about the world and experience it yourself. Tip: It's nothing close to what they want you to think.

I'm grateful to people like you OP. When everyone goes around calling people nazis and fascists for trivial reasons it desensitizes the public to those words. As the US and other first world countries continue to drift toward fascist governments led by populists who put their people first it will be much easier. The media will cry wolf, warning about how that fascists are gaining control for real this time, and the masses will ignore it. They will no longer have the knee jerk reaction to those words pushed into them due to decades of propaganda after the world wars. And things will be better in the world for everyone as a result, not just whites or christians or whoever. I know we're the "bad guys" but we really do want what's best for the world, believe it or not.
I checked out of society long ago.
I see it as the anger at increasingly inequality built into free market capitalism and the increasingly controlling state designed to protect the free market is being purposefully misdirected and blamed on the other.
I don't believe that the world should be one homogenised melting pot without borders and I know that our relative wealth in the west is built upon holding back developing countries, but I can't blame individuals for wanting to leave shitty parts of the world full of conflict, disease, lack of food or water, basic sanitation and medicine, religious shit heads and come to better parts of the world. I don't believe that by denying them inequality is going to decrease or even stop increasing for the average person.
Eventually all struggles will be realised as class struggle and all dynamics will be realised as power dynamics born of the control of capital. It is in the interests of a minority to continue to string this along as long as possible however.
no john, you are the nazi.
>>18099534
By realising people by and large arent actually like that.
It takes a minority to paint a whole population bad.
Most people are too occupied with feeding their families and succeeding to be racist or sexist
The few who suck are just bored with their lives or have serious problems and want to scapegoat someone. And theyre very vocal about it.
But they are still a minority, but your facebook news feed will shove them in your face because they know it bothers you and it will generate clicks and ad revenue.
>but trump won
Most trump voters arent racist. I dont support him but doesnt mean at all theyre all terrible people.
Theyre humans too and were more focused on disrupting the system and making the dems and republicans re evaluate themselves and shape the fuck up.
And they arent wrong about that.
