      Ability to have an alright day is important! That's not some bougie luxury. You wear out fast otherwise. You need to be able to sleep at night and have good long stretches of not being full of anxiety. You need to feel ok. That's just like... basic health shit.

      And we're all denied that in like 1000 ways both broad and very personal all the time due to just the sheer volume of horrible shit that happens every single day, in addition to the overarching trauma of capitalism, racism, misogyny, etc etc etc

      For me, at least, the way I've learned to combat this is finding others who feel the same and getting involved in some tangible way of pushing back on it.

      That goes some distance to counteracting the isolation and anxiety and frustration and powerlessness, while restoring your own feeling of connection and power.

      For me that's taken the shape of being involved in our local DSA chapter, as well as making art that (i think) makes small cracks in the wall. I mean the art doesn't do it, people do it. The art can like help nudge people tho. Hopefully.

      I'm not saying "the answer is do just enough to feel individually ok!", I'm saying specifically on the topic of not personally crumbling this is helpful.

      There's always going to be reactionary pieces of shit or snide wells of self-hatred and loathing that tell you that you're stupid for caring, or trying, or being sad or angry, or doing just about anything. For me, debating all that is just pointless and an energy drain.

      I can't remember which well known science guy was like "i'm not going to do a live debate with a creationist b/c there's nothing to debate and i'm just giving them energy and air" but like honestly that's good advice elsewhere

      You can try to argue another grown adult into basic empathy but, at least for me, there are better ways to go about it that aren't just draining yourself on demand for someone who likely thinks it's all a game and a laugh and who you are not responsible for changing.
