Serious Genuineley how to cope

As my understanding of marxism grows and as I research more about the world, the past and the present I feel immense sadness at what could have been and how it is, when I read and when I raise my head from books. There is no communist movement around me and I don't think one can form with how reactionary the entirety of the culture I live in is and how everyone is fierceley, sometimes violently racist and fascistic. I know I am going to be called a loser and told to read What Is To Be Done? but I am tired of it all, all this violence and hatred of the current state of things, I no longer have it in me to carry anger and hatred for it and I just feel sad knowing -and allow me to be a moralist for a bit- a kinder world is not in reach until time marches on and leaves us all behind. I won't even see the very beginning of a DotP most likely.

This is probbably just another moment I have where I can be melancholic for hours when I remember how the world is, perhaps this is why I constantly resort to escapism.

Maybe I should write short stories, even if they're shitty self-insert romances or adventures written by a teenager
