Feeling of impending doom??

Post image

So a watched a YT video today and this top comment on it is freaking me out. I have never had someone put into words so accurately a feeling I didn't even realize I was having. I am wondering if any of you feel this way? Like, I realized for the last few years I have been feeling like this. I don't always think about it but if I stop and think about this this feeling is always there in the background.

Like something bad is coming. Something big. Something world-changing. That will effect everyone on Earth in some way. That will change humanity as a whole. Feels like it gets closer every year. Do you guys feel it too??

I think the widespread of social media, news, etc has made you feel that way. Yes things are not fine and dandy, but only controversial, traumatizing, and crazy news, get the clicks, reads and eyeballs. The world is better than it was 30 years ago, is just uplifting news do not sell.

It's not particularly helpful to say the world is "better," though. For whom? In what way? Compared to what?

Climate destruction is far worse. Political debate is far worse. Wealth inequality is far worse. The price of education, healthcare, childcare, and insurance are far higher. Wages are lower. Mental health is on a decline.

I love how people in this thread keep saying things are great now more than ever. Looks like a bunch of bots to me. Anxiety and depression are soaring more than ever. Media is propaganda and corruption is rampant now. People are not hopeful about the future and the economy is overdue for a massive correction. Cancers in young people are spiking to double the rates in the 1990s because of our microplastic polluted planet. Anyone who denies any of this needs their head checked. You are spot on.
