I listen to music, read about revolutionary movements, daydream about alternate timelines where the world is a utopia, play video games where I feel like I have power, and in control of stuff (like, for example, idk… fighting monsters and other evil things in open world games), sometimes write poetry (but I never share any of them lol, they just stay in Standard Notes).
Basically: escapism.
I read political theory and tell myself I will act on it. Sometimes I even do but that is rare and usually I burn out or let it eat at other important parts of my life. I pet my cat a lot and I smoke weed but sometimes smoking makes things worse. I also study ancient history because its disconnected enough from modernity that I don’t have to think about my future too much and the patterns aren’t as relevant
