This is totally out of touch. The slogan "Fuck ice!" appropriately expresses the anger and outrage of everyday people.
Resistance and change happen when people are engaged, focused, and unified. Anger is a part of that process.

If you feel this way, you should get organized politically (ie. Join a political group) and go to some protests to show the ruling class how outraged you are.
You don't need to give up hobbies to make a difference!
You don't need to give up hobbies to make a difference!
But it's kind of a lose/lose. You regard everything with the rage and sadness it deserves 24/7 and let them take your life away, or you acknowledge that things are what they are and do your best to find joy when and wherever you can. Either way it feels like surrender.

Capitalists gonna capitalist. They'd sacrifice the lives of innocent children - in wars, or from poor healthcare, or inadequate food or housing - to keep hold of their millions. To eke out a little more profit.
the epic game store giveaway of Hogshits Legacy is Tim Sweeney, a billionaire, donating a nice fat sum to JK Rowling, another billionaire and the financier of anti-trans hate, with Geoff Keighley's "institutional" blessing (given that this shit was announced at TGA and endorsed by it). Moral decay.
