I feel you man, I'm just overwhelmed by it all. How can I as one individual make a difference is my main concern. If I can figure out an answer to that, I can move forward. Until then, I find myself reluctant to wheel out my soap box, if I can't bring any solutions to the table.

Regardless of what others say otherwise. It's individuals that can make a difference. The main problem is not just how, but why. Specifically "Why should we when someone else can?" For the past 1000 years we've literally been coddled our whole lives. Conditioned to believe that we shouldn't have to do anything, conditioned to believe we shouldn't fight for ourselves and others and conditioned to believe that we need certain things to survive and only others can provide that for us. As a result we became lazy, dependent and cowardice. We lost our teeth, our balls/overies and our will because we didn't think we need it. Now that the shit really hit the fan in the worst possible way and we can't do anything. Why? Because we didn't think we needed to at the time. I myself have beem guilty of that. Not anymore.
@CIEIRMusic what's your personal approach to taking action? Genuinely looking for advice or inspiration. Things I can do in my everyday life.
Well for me to know that I'd have to know your every day life first. DM me on that one.
@CIEIRMusic just about to head to work, but I'll hit you up in a dm in the next day or 2.
Ok.
Honestly I noticed the famine situation starting earlier in America before the Russia v. Ukraine war that's happening right now. I cannot guarantee that war will trigger a chain of events that would start WWIII or even Cold War 2, but I'm crossing my fingers hoping it doesn't. I also heard that the pandemic will end by next year but the virus will live in the human bodies forever now, even the vaccinated people. And yeah, death is now a common occurrence, both natural and unnatural, our society is failing so low.
With me I noticed it initially in Canada. The B.C. Flood along with a few other events messed with the transports required to deliver food all over the country. Stretching from B.C. To Ontario and beyond. As a result to make up for the damage these events caused, Inflation was aggressively increased to the point where what would have been a $2.99 pack of Hotdogs now costs $7. Basically robbing people of their food and their right to buy it cheaply.
However I didn't notice anything major until the Russia/Ukraine thing happened. It's one thing to take food away. It's another to take away the means of one making money to get the food. I don't know if you noticed, but a lot of people with jobs be it blue collar or white collar need cars to get where they're going. A lot of us the past 200 years have been conditioned to believe that Fossil Fuels is the way to go and that any renewable or less toxic source of energy would not be as effective. So naturally when you declare war on a country whom before was one of your main imports of oil and you cut yourself from them, needless to say your country is fucked because as a result of being limited to the resources you have at home, they become more expensive. Gasoline in Canada is already nearly $2 a Litre. Just recently Ontario paid $5 Billion Dollars in a first ever battery plant for electric vehicle. While I should be happy, I am very pissed because it took them long to acknowledge that this could have saved their skin a lot over the past 200 years and it would have 100 years ago reduced the Carbon Footprint on our side. Among other things. We all literally had this tech the whole time and we waited until things were at their very worst to do it. It sickens me.

I absolutely agree with your opinion! That has been something that have been going through my mind too. It's been really hard for those years and hopefully it will get better soon. I can't promise anything though. Those past years have been rough and even this year. Hopefully one day people will just step up and fix it. Every year, everything happens in a precipitous way unfortunately. People's actions dealing with this situation is unreal against the real disastrous fallout on earth planet.
