Most of my thoughts seem cynical, mostly due to my own personal history - people, events, experiences, and life lessons - but they are only truly just what I came to expect from human nature because of my experiences, not an unreasonable predisposition to be nihilistic. Some humans are nice and wholesome, which I appreciate and acknowledge. But some humans are greedy, lustful, and absolutely horrid. Those who’d step on others just to feel good about themselves. I am not talking about petty shit like school / university / workplace drama. I’m talking about actual geopolitics, tyrants, capitalism, consumerism, echo chambers of society, and how I fear World War III might just be looming around the corner - as well as other fucktons of impending apocalypse scenarios.

First of all, my fears are not unjustified. As an example, the moment news broke out of the "Wuhan" Virus, I was already expecting of the goddamn "global" pandemic (and it doesn’t take a fucking genius to see that coming - especially with how out of touch politicians are, not to mention cultural aspects of nations and lack of trust in science, and the echo chambers of social media). Need not me remind you, people died because of absolute negligence of those people with "power'.

Then also came the Russian invasion of Ukraine - this happening already shatters the illusion of peace in this world (I know of Iraq and Afghanistan, but this happening to a European country is just too bizarre).

The title of this thread is Chuuni Fears. Because maybe I am just overthinking a lot of things. Maybe Social media is not really destroying the future generations by siphoning the dopamine of the populace - as the capitalist pigs want. Maybe I am just overreacting with how consumerism will not only destroy the planet, causes suffering to the abused workers, cater a new generation of consumeristic individualism (such as the American dream, or Netflix, or Cars) at the expense of other people and also of future generations. Maybe I am just overthinking how megacorps such as Google, Amazon - or the elite families of Earth that wields significant influence and power, such as those who controls the Oil, the black markets, the political lobbying power, and even the purses of entire nations. Maybe I am just overreacting regarding China’s belt and road iniative and how deep its tentacles has sunk deeply to 3rd world countries lead by yet again, the powerful yet corrupt elite of their respective damned nations. Maybe I am just overreacting about the increasing belligerence and hypocrisy around NK, SK, Japan, Tawain, Russia, China, and USA. Only good knows whether the future will be peaceful, or filled with nukes, or filled with autocratic assholes who wants to control every facet of our lives for the sake of their egos, or filled with consumeristic huzzah giving the big money to capitalists who only want money for the sake of fucking money.

It is just tiring sometimes to think about.

This thread is, again, named Chuuni Fears.

I am not here to argue about politics nor idealogies.

I am just here to vent and to ask other people, how to cope or what do they do with such Chuuni Fears. Am I crazy? Am I justified? Or am I just talking out of my ass? Depends really on one’s foreknowledge, stance, outlook, and worldview I guess.

Also feel free to rant tangentially about Philosophy regarding this as well, but please not only argue in absolute intangible bullshit that doesn’t truly help anyone in the real world, or phenomenological shit that only applies to your own self-centric perspective but necessarily to others as well.
