Climate change is still nebulous. It’s like population decline. Few will face the impact of it with anything practical or human until the negative impact personally stares them in the face.
George Floyd protests and riots happened, in large part, because people were bored, unoccupied, and angsty about the world. Human behavior points rarely happen under the influence of a single variable.
If anything, people are more fed up with their daily world, now, than at the time of Floyd. I think that’s a piece of why people kept reporting a sense of impending doom all year.
Now we’ve hit a point where one guy with everything to lose said “enough” and went after a health care CEO. And we have plenty of people in this nation with nothing to lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if stage 4 cancer people started throwing themselves at CEOs.

They want people to actually be productive though, not just zombies.
I work 40hrs a week. No kids in the house. If I can’t stream, then what? Reading news and Reddit, probably. That’s probably the least healthy option.
Subbing everything isn’t sustainable for working class. It kills the monthly with bug bites.
You could get a hobby. Maybe try to actually make something interesting out of your life instead of just consuming entertainment?
