by Chris Zelglia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They claim that we are awaiting the end of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what the planet may be demonstrating is the unease of a way of life that has reached its limit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The so-called environmental anxiety, this vague fear in the face of climate collapse, has been considered a personal issue, something to be controlled through meditation, self-care, and breathing apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, this concern does not arise out of nowhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a reflection of an era where the future has become a commodity and the planet, an algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental anxiety is not just about the fear of disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a perception, even if unconscious, that we inhabit a system that is destroying the world to keep itself running and that still refers to this as progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental anxiety is not a psychic disorder, it is a collective awakening to an unsustainable system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When capitalism promises ecological alternatives, what it offers is a form of anesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fear of collapse is exchanged for a display of individual hope: plant a tree, buy less, breathe deeply. However, the anxiety does not disappear; it merely changes its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychoanalysis teaches us that the symptom expresses something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental anxiety reveals the state of a generation that cannot visualize the future, that grew up hearing that the planet is on the verge of its end, and that has learned to carry the burden of a guilt that does not belong to them alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This anguish should not be treated with optimistic speeches, but heard as a social outcry. A plea for structural change, not for a mood adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling apprehension about the planet is an act of political sensibility, the problem arises when the system persuades us to believe that this is an individual matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to convert environmental anxiety into ecological action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing fear as part of the collective awakening is the first step to breaking the paralysis and establishing new forms of hope, not an empty optimism, but a hope that acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mental health of the planet depends on understanding what this anxiety has to say: it is no longer possible to live like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
