Exactly this. The powers that caused the crisis want you to give up. They want you to think its hopeless and inevitable, because if it isn't, revolution is the only option in the face of their obstruction. And not a small revolution either - it will be one that is simultaneously political, economic, and cultural.
And such a revolution is inevitable - the question is whether or not it will be one of positive change, or one that arises from the world's collapse into chaos and fire.
The powers behind the crisis intentionally manufacture and market despair to keep you from uniting with others to fight against the slow heat death of the world. Don't buy into it.
