Literally everything. I hate living under a system where my options are

  1. repeatedly consume products which cause death and the destruction of our environment
  2. move out into the woods and live as an isolated hermit
  3. die

I'm...I'm just so tired.

Amen.

And it's just so much worse if it's something I don't actually need and is on the pricey side... Like, I enjoy those canned Starbucks nitro cold brew drinks. I feel guilty wanting to buy them, I feel guilty about how many I want to put in my cart, and I feel guilty when I drink them.

I'm so fucking sick by it, too.

I don't have a problem with 2, it's just not an option without having plenty of money first.
