Life involves some measure of suffering, but also an opportunity for existence, love, and joy. Denying that completely is absurd and an incel attitude.
I saw the handwriting on the wall 30 years ago, but couldn't say what form it would take. I knew that prices of things would go up, wages and employment would decline, and misery would increase over time.
I think there may be some very large scale (conventional, hopefully) wars and billions of people migrating as climate refugees within the next 5-25 years. Imagine Gaza but it's entirely possible Putin will not be stopped and the MAGA movement leaders will emulate Bibi and Putin in terms of war-making. It's also probable that even more brutal, repressive, and self-destructive future leaders in the spirit of Nero and Caligula will emerge.
None of this is set in stone. Fate doesn't exist. Nothing bad has to happen. We can choose to reorganize and change attitudes if we are willing to be steadfast with solidarity.
