How can anyone live without meaning or hope?

When does life cease to be worth living?

Is the survival instinct enough to fill the emptiness of a dead soul?

1. Share & Spread Local, Decentralized Power

Authoritarianism thrives on centralization. Resilience comes from decentralization—of food, energy, information, decision-making.

Support or start local mutual aid groups (even online ones).

Learn and teach peer-to-peer tools: offline mesh networks, cooperative file sharing, crypto only where appropriate, co-ops, FOSS tools, federated social media.

Help others access knowledge in regions with censorship or algorithmic isolation.


These systems reduce dependence on exploitative corporations and states.

2. Undermine Extractive Narratives

We’re fed stories to keep us compliant. "You can’t change anything." "You need to consume this to be happy." "It’s too complicated."

Push back:

Support or create media that deconstructs these myths.

Expose the mechanisms of manipulation—advertising psychology, attention economy, manufactured consent.

Practice slow, intentional living where possible. It’s resistance.

3. Refuse the Binary of Capitalism vs. Communism

The real divide is not red vs. blue, but freedom vs. domination, solidarity vs. exploitation.

Try to imagine and support post-authoritarian models:

Horizontalism

Participatory budgeting

Solarpunk infrastructure
Gift economies
Degrowth or steady-state economies
Even thinking these things is resistance.
4. Build Psychological Defenses

by coping unironically, the second I stop coping, be it with drugs, lifting, weed, whatever, I become hopeless. Truly the worst feeling

Look up meaning Maintenance their and their management.
For sure, whatever you are struggling with, most likely has been struggled with by some other humans who work good books on it
And now we have AI so you don't even have you read any of them to get the essence
First though:
Ask AI how to use it in the most productive manner
Etc

Good luck to you anon.
Don't leave off the possibility of mild drug use.
Hey, MJ vapes and gingko sublingually works for me. For now.
Be well, life is suffering
But also worthwhile I think, I dunno
I go back and forth myself...

Sierra just want you see how bad this current news gets at this point and grilling finally challenge worthy of my time lol
Course, now I'm like Aemon on the Wall, hearing that 'the world' finally needs him, but too late. And so ...

Meaning maintenance theory suggests that when individuals face challenges to their beliefs or sense of meaning, they seek to restore that meaning through various cognitive mechanisms, such as identifying patterns or reaffirming values. This theory highlights the human desire for a coherent and predictable understanding of the world.

Terror Management Theory (TMT) explains how awareness of our own mortality influences human behavior and motivation. It suggests that people create cultural beliefs and values to manage the anxiety associated with the inevitability of death, often seeking meaning and a sense of significance in their lives to cope with this fear.
