A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

for me it’s the loss of joy.

Same for me. I just don't feel entertained anymore.
Current video games are all stupid. Current tv series and movies are stupid too. What do I do? What can I do?

Currently I can only relax and have some fun by reading fantasy stories. Everything else is literally not bearable anymore.

I hope to go on my first week long bike packing tour in early summer when it'll be warm enough for camping. It's going to be my first long camping tour. Just to do something completely different I never did before. I fear I'll go crazy if I don't do something like that.

I saw a small report about a retired woman walking (!) with a donkey (!) through the country. She did 650 km last year which is impressive for a 70 year old. Currently she's staying at a camping site where they keep donkeys because it's too cold and her donkey needs contact to other donkeys from time to time. Incredible stuff!

These aren’t insurmountable problems, but yeah.

They way you are describing it points to you having depression. You should visit a doctor and talk about it. Depression is actually an illness that could cost you your life (by lowering your instinct of self preservation and sometimes outright ignoring it).
