Is there is any hope? (programming.dev)

Looking around me:

I started seeing people who support capitalist companies instead of non-profits.
People losing their freedoms everywhere at high pace.
No one is taking any serious steps to stop climate change.
A lot of non-profits had seriously down scaled their operations in the last 5 years, most probably more non-profits will get hit hard this year.
On a relative scale, no one is fighting to change any of this.

Do we have any hope?

Yes. Because all my life, we've been frogs in a steadily warming pot, and the heat has been cranked up to max

People are angry. People are protesting, doing vandalism with a prison sentence longer then murder, people are raging at their futures being cut off

Everything creates a reaction. The worse is gets, the faster it gets worse, the larger the reaction.

The best future is the one where people get so angry we stop. That's all it takes to kill the game - if enough people, even for a short time, stop playing - it all stops

The world is robust. Humans are robust. If we stopped killing both, everything could recover shockingly fast

Things will get worse, things are very bad already, but it's not over. I feel lighter every time the stock market drops, because it's imaginary but the hurt is real.

The more and faster the hurt, the more people will wake the fuck up and stop this
