i have a question for terminally political online people but im not sure how to phrase it without sounding very rude

@xianc78 I want to ask if any of them are happy and how they would rate their mood on average day and if its really worth it

@vriska I just hate seeing the world go to shit. But that's something that everyone agrees.

I never really intended for my account to be mostly political but with the recent events going on, it's hard.

@xianc78 do you honestly believe that any amount of online debating will help the world in any way? I am not trying to sound rude, I am geuinely curious. Life is short and the world is still a beautiful place rich with experience and ways you can make the lives of yourself, your community and your loved ones better and less nightmarish but all those things are in real life

Every little counts. It won't happen overnight. I'm just bringing new ideas to the table that's all. I generally like to talk about solutions to problems that don't involve voting.

@xianc78 so, back to my original question, are you happy?

@vriska Generally, yes, but I am concerned about the future. I try to strike a balance.

@vriska I'm optimistic because soon we can escape all the Great Reset tyranny.

I used to be one of the terminally politically online, or something close to it.

I would have told you that it felt great, and that of course it was worth it. Looking back, I see that it was one of those things like being obsessed with the gym or being popular at the bar - a distraction, a fake social circle, a fake life goal with fake meaning, that does feel good but never lets you go.
