I still dread us turning into a "Children of Men" like society ( minus the infertility - great movie though, I highly recommend it) due to extended Tory rule and large scale climate migrations in the next few decades. I never truly felt seriously suicidal, but definitely apathetic to the point where I wasn't studying for my A levels or my degree for weeks and months at a time, and smoking ridiculous amounts of skunk, because I thought there was no point in preparing to be a proper functioning member of society, if that society is tearing itselt apart by the seams. The truth is, the world is going to shit, and always has been. Problems arise and people need to deal with them. They way I see it now is that people with my outlook need to be there to vote, to debate, share information/insights, to strike, protest, even storm parliament if needs be. If we all just offed ourselves or turned into apathetic hedonists, we'd be handing over even more power to the people making everyone's lives worse. Maybe you or me are not going to be a part of any of that, but people like us need to carry our torches to the next lot.
