It looks pretty bad from where we are all at. I dont think dying would be worse at this point.

You don't think dying would be worse than living in a capitalist society? Take a few deep breaths and try to get some perspective, because your current position is really disconnected from reality. In reality, capitalism has produced more stuff for people to use and enjoy than any other system, ever. (I will admit that it may not do as well as we like at spreading that stuff around. But focus on fixing that, not on breaking the system that produces the stuff that so many of us live on.)

  But thats just it. It's working for you. Not others. And increasingly so.

Please get help. Harming yourself won't solve any problems. Whatever problems you are facing are temporary. Things will get better.

  Oh sorry I understand that sounds dark. I'm not suicidal to be sure. There are other ways of go out before that. It's just really how people my age feel looking at the world. We wanted things to be better and they aren't. War in Israel, pandemics where half the population can't even agree we are in one, political instability, the constant pressure to afford the life our parents had even though they had it easier. It's just a lot for our generation to deal with.

    Here's the problem: a lot of people in the 1st world thinks things are getting worse, when in reality the world is improving for the less well off. Think extreme poverty, child mortality, health care, etc. Some details here: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190111-seven-reasons-why-the-world-is-improving https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190111-seven-reasons-wh... This is down to globalization and capatalism, which does sometimes feel like a race to the bottom but actually seems like it's working.

      It isn't working. Declining birth rates, sky high debt, environmental disasters, political upheaval. What in the world are you looking through to give you a rose colored view of the world?
