I really ought to do great things in my life, but achievement requires some kind of dewy-eyed optimism and the more I hear things like 'military-grade encryption' or 'abortion rights' or 'unregistered ammunition' the less I want to be part of this world and its future. How can I sustain myself while tucked in a hole somewhere hoping things implode and get better afterwards?
Of all the shit in the world, it's encryption and ammunition that demoralizes you?
