My living standard fell down heavily even tho I earn a lot more than I used too, cannot travel, have to watch out for promotions on food.
Just over yonder there is an actual war happening as I live in Poland, with one of our neighbours that we know wants to fuck us too, with growing fear of incoming escalation and doubtful allies.
NATO is set to soon fall apart due to USA, EU tries to become more and more like federal goverment, my own country chose nationalistic idiots and only now, slowly, cuts down their influence…
And all that next to “normal” crap like being forced to stay in a workplace I feel hateful of with no prospect of any possibility of having an actual career because I ended up in a dead end job.
I am not priviliged - I am tired. When all I see and hear are bad news, bad becoming worse becomes new normal, new baseline. And sure, it could be worse - war could actually reach us, NATO could dissolve etc., but if your argument for why I shouldn’t be desensitised is literal WWIII then I dunno what to say to you.

That’s a good point. There is also being desensitized due to being crushed from it. I stand corrected.
