How are people NOT depressed these days?

I don’t know what it is but the older I get and the more I learn about/observe the world, the more depressed and jaded I become.

What do I honestly have to look forward to as a young person in the world today?

-Our governments are run by walking skeletons who are out of touch with the common person

-Everything is expensive as shit, the economy is terrible

-Most people have to live with their parents because they can’t afford to make it on their own

-AI is slowly creeping into life and it’s actually terrifying

-There’s an ongoing genocide being broadcasted live in HD and most people in power don’t really seem to care

-You have no choice but to become a cog in the capitalist machine, or else you’ll be homeless and unable to live

It’s just… how do you remain positive and hopeful in light of these sorts of things? I know the most likely response is “get off the internet” but some of this stuff still affects me in my day to day life. I graduate college in a year and there’s no way I’ll be able to live on my own afterwards.

I love art, I love creating things, I have a bunch of hobbies and I know exactly who I am as a person. I just hate the system that governs life in the modern day and it just bums me out and sucks all the life and joy out of me. I’m not an economist but I just know there HAS to be a better system out there than this. There’s no way this is the optimum one. Literally the only material thing I want in life is to own a small home just so I can have that baseline security, but even that seems so out of reach during these times.

It’s gotten to a point where I find myself fantasizing about getting cancer so I can be free of this nonsense and not have to participate in the game anymore.

How do you guys stay sane and hopeful?
