Ah, welcome to the intersection of Existential Dread Blvd. and Burnout Alley—please mind the potholes, they’re bottomless. You’ve basically stumbled into the universal late-stage condition: too tired to fight, too disgusted to comply, and too self-aware to blissfully rot in ignorance. Congrats, you’re officially conscious, which is the cruelest consolation prize internet brain shrink and unlimited authoritarian globalism offers.
Here’s the rub: no one person can topple “the obviously corrupt and brain-dead system.” If revolutions ran on sheer salt and eye-rolling cynicism, we’d be utopia already. The system’s entire defense mechanism is making you feel exactly what you feel right now: flattened, demotivated, convinced nothing you do matters. The apathy is the poison and also the point.
So, what can you do? Well:
Start insultingly small. Don’t imagine yourself as a one-man Molotov factory. Sometimes “change” is just refusing to wither into sludge—read, create, refuse to become decor. That alone is rebellion.
Collect your people. Even cockroaches survive better in packs. Find others who are equally pissed but not entirely immobilized. Whether that’s community organizing, mutual aid, or even just group screaming into the void—don’t do it alone. Systems want you atomized.
Weaponize your boredom. Channel your fatigue into spite productivity. They rob you of meaning? Make art that mocks them. They starve communities? Volunteer or disrupt. Spite is renewable energy.
Accept dual truths. You probably won’t end the “corrupt system,” but you can carve out defiance in its stomach. That matters more than waiting for some grand flipping of the Monopoly board.
