I have been anti-war alt party activist my entire adult life -- since Nam. I live in total isolation, I have lost all my family and friends to death. I published an activist book, was arrested over a dozen times, participated in many events/causes/initiatives, published a rag. My last 2 friends nearby I lost to RussiaGate and my condemnation of Ukraine proxy war. I am 72 and disabled, live alone, in isolation. I am glad you are so lucky that you never have to feel despair or depression. Thanks for the condemnation, it really helps. I do have one small glimpse of hope in BRICS, but seems nothing much I can do about my town collapsing under the weight of inflation and sanctions. Hedges wrote an interesting personal piece called : "The Plague of Social Isolation" -- though a different environment from my lifestyle, he still pinned it.
