I’ve started to develop zero tolerance for that kind of no-context assertion of despair: the standard “the world is on fire rn” or “the hell that is life rn” claims you hear people throw down these days. My reason is that what people tend to mean is “some people disagree with me and won’t let my side just do whatever it wants.” In the absence of a specific grievance that can be judged on its merits, I just dismiss the claim and the speaker out of hand.
