I think the collapse has been there for decades already. Maybe it was not so visible among humans but I imagine that animals and nature have felt it clearly already. Whether to blame the amount of pills made and given, is because of capitalism or neoliberalism I'm not sure. I have read Not Made of Wood: A Psychiatrist Discovers His Own Profession by Jan Foudraine, a book which became popular in the seventies and has helped to make mental help better than it was before, however lately the lack of time for patients, and the work pressure have made giving pills very popular. Not just doctors and psychiatrists give pills but also psychologists started to do so :( There is still hope, for example the resistance of Lützerath is Germany shows imo that not all of us have turned into mindless money greed capitalist robots.
The irony is that most of these young people have voted for the very party that approved of the digs in Lützerath - the "green" party. That's the literal name, and they have a history of approving war, and now that they are in power (with 2 other parties), they also approve of destruction of nature.
Yes, sad. "power corrupts" applies. But I'd say usually it is good to not place your bet only on national politics. Watching the local community politics instead and do "direct action" or consumer behavior change (which may include for example small things like eating less meat, not buying from big brands which produce non sustainable products, or slightly adjusting some bus stop billboard ad) makes sense.
Well said! :)
