Is there is any hope? (programming.dev)

Looking around me:

I started seeing people who support capitalist companies instead of non-profits.
People losing their freedoms everywhere at high pace.
No one is taking any serious steps to stop climate change.
A lot of non-profits had seriously down scaled their operations in the last 5 years, most probably more non-profits will get hit hard this year.
On a relative scale, no one is fighting to change any of this.

Do we have any hope?

There's always hope. The feeling you are experiencing is what the people who are causing all of that want you to feel.

Now if everything seems bleak and hopeless all the time, that's also a strong indicator of depression, and may also be worth talking to a professional about. Or if not a professional, at least people in your life whose perspectives matter more than random internet strangers like me.
