Political activism and hope

[frog problems]

I'm going to a political rally tomorrow. I've been kind of stressing about it over the last few days because I get nervous when surrounded by a lot of people and loud noises, but at the same time it gives me a sense of purpose and hope for a better future. It somehow actually makes me feel less depressed.

To those of you that are passionate about politics, how much do you engage with it irl? What are your thoughts on political demonstrations and activism?

I think politics is ultimately useless. Humans will always destroy each other if given free choice and when they don't have a choice (dictatorship) the leader(s) go insane after some time and cause suffering too. Humanity was doomed from the start. Of course there are "good" and "bad" times, but nothing will remain after the test of time. Everything we create, both physical and psychologically, becomes corrupted at some point and starts to spiral into destruction. Countless empires have risen and fallen, now it's just going faster than usual all over the world cause of modern communication tools.

This is a very pessimistic outlook... but it's the goddamn truth! Humans are totally depraved reprobates.

I went to Trump's first rally for the '20 campaign in OK. Got there late so only had a few hours of protesting, but it was still worth it. Wasn't very big lol but still cool. The atmosphere and passion is worth it and memorable. Make a statement! Get creative! Haha I did
I'd get online and interact with a group to see more of what's going on and if there is a planned meetup or setup.
