I was watching
Manic's excellent
Labour Are Shit animation and I was reminded again why I try not to pay attention to what's happening in the world and this country. The sheer amount of things which are Wrong, and the scale of them, sickens me. It's bad enough that people exist who don't believe in equality on whatever level, people who put money and profits first, people who not only lie for their own means, but who lie on grand scales and who aren't ashamed or sorry about it. I just want everyone to be equal and happy. For everyone to have the same opportunities and for the world to run at a reasonably successful level. I honestly don't understand how people can not believe in that. Racists, homophobes, egotistical twats, and all their ilk genuinely bewilder me. And what's worse is that I feel unable to change anything. I feel sterile and useless. I know that people can make a difference, but I have no idea how to go about instigating change. This depresses me, and so to avoid depression, I avoid reading about things I know will upset me. Thus I know very little of politics, current affairs and so on. It's not ideal, but my health has to come first. Hopefully at some point in the future, things will have changed and I will be able to cope with that. Until then, I just have to bide my time I guess, and try to keep the passion alive, so that I can use it when it's called for.
