"Entangled as we are in this current system of industrial civilization, what can we do to decouple ourselves from systems that exploit others, and the living world?"
This is one of my favorite questions to ask. And I have a lot of optimism that it is possible. Maybe not entirely, but far more than what I am currently doing. Working outside has given me a lot of hope. I realized I am not actually broken, just don't work the way our system wants me to. I know so many people recognizing that, but also struggling to escape. Hopefully we can find some accessible escape plans soon.
And I meet a lot of people also wondering the same, especially as the industrialized dream is becoming more of a prison / nightmare to most people, even for those at the top of the industrial pyramid.
I think the birth rate declining in the industrialized world is a powerful example of people not wanting to invest in this future. It's poetic, we would rather go extinct than keep living this way. Such a great collective fuck you to those trying to push this techno-humanist hellscape on everyone else.
The industrial system's roof will eventually cave in from the previous generation's gluttony and we just gotta enjoy the ride while we can. The transition will probably be horrific and there will be immense suffering, but there is hope on the other side.
