But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unliveable future? In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion". A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. Berardi analyses why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.  0aPolitical alienation925643 0aYouthxPolitical activity925644 0aPolitical participation910851 0aPolitical culture925645 0aDepression, MentalxPhilosophy925646  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-07-03l0oJA74.5 BERpB07581r2025-07-03t1w2025-07-03y1  c4815d4815
