I'm troubled by what coming.

[makethepainstop]

I'm very worried about what I see coming to the world in the near future. We are on the brink of a WW III nuclear scenario. New and horrifying diseases are emerging as never before. Many with no known cures or treatments. Crops will be impacted around the globe as energy and fertilizer shortages are occurring. Never mind changing weather conditions. People on the whole are becoming more violent, crazy and mean. Hurricanes, earth quakes and volcanic eruptions are happening as never before. The financial state of the world economy is being propped up by central banks world wide cranking up the money printers. Supply chains for every commodity are being broken and disrupted, around the world. Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, are going to be a problem. If Russia were to seek to regain her territories from her old communist days, China decides to retake Taiwan and Hong Kong by force, North Korea attempts to take South Korea, and Iran tries to destroy Israel, I don't think NATO or the USA could stop them if they all attack simultaneously. At that point am afraid everyone would go nuclear. Even if humans could get a grip and try to slow or stop a nuclear exchange.......many nations nuclear missile systems are automated or computer controlled, meaning once started some nations systems might react as programmed. CTB is looking more and more like a winning proposition. Peace and love to all here.

I don't want to come across as rude but so What? Who actually cares? There's no point worrying over something you can't Control.

Not rude, everyone should always be encouraged to say their piece. I was musing that with what I think is comming that ctb might be the best way to avoid even more pain in the coming days. Love and hugs to you.

 

[Obliviate]

It's a huge thing to care about because it will DIRECTLY impact our lives. The world is about to get a whole lot uglier I'm afraid. Maybe it's the biblical end times or just humans acting evil, either ways in my opinion it's better to CTB than wait around for it to get a whole lot worse

I used to worry about all that shit and genuinely thought that the world would come to an end this year…..so last year i fucked up my life in a blaze of glory like, may as well the world will come to an end….low and behold, nothing happened and I've ruined my life and ended up here…..

Good riddance to humanity - we don't deserve anything less, in my opinion, given how we have treated each other, animals and the planet so far...

 

[freedompass]

Honestly I think a proportion of people at any time in history have been similarly convinced the world is ending. Personally my feeling is 'I should be so lucky'. I'm very disengaged from this world, I don't give a shit either way

 

[LostOne]

Why did you think it would

COVID, 5G, Cashless Society….all the classic conspiracy shit mainly, really thought that it was the end…..but in hindsight I shouldn't have even given two fucks….now I'm broke, homeless, lost my family, friends and now I'm on the edge because the world is back to normal…..FFS

I hope that you will be able to say the same thing come spring - if you survive this coming winter

I am right there with you my friend. Everything you just wrote consumes my thoughts quite often, and discussing it with my family / friends is fruitless. I am a metaphysical researcher and it is quite obvious this has been planned for decades, if not longer. There are a handful of elite bloodlines (13 at the very top) who control almost everything on this planet, and have for a long time. This is not conspiracy theory, it is easily verifiable. Unlike the Christians however I don't believe Jesus is coming to save us, he was a Jewish dissident who's been dead for 2000 years, if he ever existed at all. The New (c)Agers who believe aliens will save us are just copying Christian theology and rewrapping it in a hippie gift box, it's all BS. The people who rule this world are truly psychotic and they want all of us dead. Why people still insist on valuing this sinking ship of a civilization, as if all of this isn't happening, is beyond me.

I don't want to come across as rude but so What? Who actually cares? There's no point worrying over something you can't Control.

Worry isn't something we can just stop, unfortunately, especially those of us who are mentally ill. As humans we are wired to care about our future, and the topics discussed by the OP are all things worth worrying about. I care, and yes I admit that doesn't help me much, but it's part of who I am. If more people cared, then maybe we could do something about it.

Honestly I think a proportion of people at any time in history have been similarly convinced the world is ending. Personally my feeling is 'I should be so lucky'. I'm very disengaged from this world, I don't give a shit either way

I agree. I am convinced biological life in its current form is a mistake. The food chain by itself is just awful and proof there is no good intent behind life.

Best wishes to all of you. Stay strong in these scary times.

 

[FuneralCry]

Hearing about all the horrible things that exist just make the thought of eternal sleep sound even more appealing. It is so awful how life is even a thing in the first place and how such extreme suffering exists in this world but at least death brings us freedom. To me the only positive thing about life is that it ends.

 

[makethepainstop]

I'm wondering if God or karma is unhappy about how people are now. People are homeless, hungry, sick,...... and most people don't care about them. There are some in the world that think of others a some kind of prey animal. To be used and exploited. So perhaps people are about to reap some really bad karma or justice?

Honestly I think a proportion of people at any time in history have been similarly convinced the world is ending. Personally my feeling is 'I should be so lucky'. I'm very disengaged from this world, I don't give a shit either way

In the past people were convinced the world would end. Back then we didn't have enough nukes to toast the earth. But we do now and there are political types threatening to use them.

I used to believe this, but if this is the case, why doesn't God / karma punish our leaders instead of us? All religions, including Buddhism, were created by the wealthy minority, who back in the day were the only ones who could read and write. (Not many people know, for example, that the writers of the gospels were probably Greek urban elites because 90+ percent of the population, including Jesus and his Aramaic-speaking followers, were illiterate.) Like I said in my intro post / about section: I believe if there is a God, he is evil like the Gnostic Demiurge / Yaldabaoth. As for karma, it's hard to fix our mistakes from past lifetimes when we can't even remember them. There are some who believe the white light of NDEs is a soul recycling center where we are memory wiped by hostile interdimensional beings who pretend to be gods and feed off of our suffering on Earth. It may sound farfetched, but it's a possibility. The people who are in position to actually do something about the homeless, hungry and sick have no desire to do so, and haven't for the entirety of recorded history.

For example, I sometimes give money to panhandlers, which I know will probably be used for drugs or alcohol, but...what more can I do? Give money to a charity that is probably corrupt and engaged in shady activity anyway? Volunteer for an organization who will assign me to be a janitor or an accountant because they can't / won't pay someone to properly do the job? Are we really such bad people when our leaders are literal human trafficking ringleaders? CPS is supposed to save kids and yet they're the biggest enablers of child sex trafficking. The CIA funds the drug trade and distributes weapons to terrorists. Again, these are facts that are easily found, not conspiracy. There is a quote online that sums it up well:

We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.

This is my attitude. If my mom texts me saying she heard on the news that WWIII has started and nukes could hit us at any moment... I'm going to the gas station, getting beer and cigarettes, and sitting on the porch not giving a fuck like any other day. Worlds ending, oh well, it had it coming.

 

[Mofreeko]

I would actually welcome a nuclear war. Fingers crosses I get obliterated.

 

[Sadboyspecimen]

Maybe it is evil to say, but there is a part of me that really likes the idea of living in a collapsed society/post nuclear apocalyptic world. I have never liked the world as it is. My world has always been repetitive monotony. Go to work, get trashed on by coworkers, go home, eat, get trashed on by family and friends, sleep, do it all over again. Every single day. So the idea of living on scavenging to survive and just actually having the challenge of trying to survive is actually very appealing. I'm sure I would eat those words though if I was ever actually put into that situation. I mean, I'm barely surviving as it is in this world, so I'm sure it would be very easy for someone to kill me and steal all my stuff in that situation anyhow. Welp. Plus there's the mass extermination of innocent people, and the chance of surviving the initial blast and radiation is a lot lower than most preppers and doomsday fanatics such as myself would like to admit. All the canned food in the world won't do you any good if the bomb falls directly on your head lol.

 

[StolenLife]

The world got so much weirder and darker since 2012, maybe the Mayans got some things right. I'm in Europe and not that far from Ukraine so there's a good chance that if something were to go down, I might not be instantly pulverised but there might definitely be enough damage to affect my hypothetical offspring, not that I plan on having one. Honestly I'm not that suprised since I felt that we were heading this way for a while, nor am I scared for myself because I have nothing in this life. Though I do get sad for people who want to live, as jealous and angry as I often feel towards them. They are not used to life being shitty and might take it much harder than us who see life for what it truly is.
One thing that I don't understand is, what exactly do the world leaders gain from this? If, for instance, Putin drops a nuke, he is aware that there is a good chance that either he or his family are also to go down with the rest of us? Sure, the common answer is that they gain money, but they already have enough money, how would this make a difference? I know about that one conspiracy theory relating to cutting the population down to one billion or something close, but what exactly would that do for the world leaders if they need their slaves? One thing is for sure, we are heading towards an utter and absolute shitshow on all fronts and I hope that I won't be here to see it.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I doubt anything is coming more so now than what has always come (and gone) here on earth. There have always been wars, disease, socio-economic strife, hurricanes, tornadoes, you name it. This is what earth has always been about. People aren't any more crazy or violent than in the past. The one thing that has changed is that we hear more about things now due to the onslaught of 24/7 news and the Internet. It's all just in your face more than it ever was in the past, giving the perception that all the things mentioned, and more, are becoming more prevalent. Statistically, we're living, right now, in the safest time than any other period of human existence.

The world is already the ugliest it can be, don't worry

To me the only positive thing about life is that it ends.

And that ending can be as brutal as ever.
Extreme agony and pain

I would actually welcome a nuclear war. Fingers crosses I get obliterated.

I don't think you would like to die by radiation.

 

[brokensea]

The world has always been a shit hole. The Black Plague, WW2, Nazi's, the world almost got blown up by nukes before during the missile crisis, The Great Depression. Trail of Tears, leprosy, the Great War of Africa where millions died. Even the worst earthquake in China in the 1500's killed and injured 800,000+ people. Honestly it's nothing new. But amazing that anyone thinks any divine being gives a crap about any of us. It's amazing we even have such a biological instinct to live. For what purpose? This world sucks. Whatever atoms and cells got together and thought awareness of existence and survival was a way of doing things was way off the mark. Who wants to live here?

Exactly. The world has survived much worse than what is going on, not that I would necessarily be opposed to the world's destruction, depending on my mood. Though human weaponry is much more devastating than in the past.

I really do believe the world can get better because it only has been doing that for ages with women, poc and LGBT getting better and more rights but with the rise of neo liberalism turning our economy neo-feudalist and the rise of fascism, I don't think I can live in a world like this
