    its to late, its over, to prevent catastrophe.

    its not to late to ensure we have a minimal catastrophe instead of a maximal catastrophe.

      NOT Uplifting

      I strongly believe that there’s a regression of global society that will prevent humanity from surviving the next k/t level impact. I weakly believe that the climate catastrophe that we are headed toward currently will cause such a regression. I weakly believe that if we don’t take global action in the next 4-5 years, we will be unable to avoid a catastrophe of that scale.

      I don’t think the current global leadership can be convinced through lobbying. Non-violent opportunities to replace the global leadership are dwindling. When/if only violent means remain, I will simply enjoy what wealth I have until I am extinguished by the Glorious Revolution as the Bourgeoisie scum I will have become.

      Actually, it’s too late, because those in power are accelerating in the wrong direction and we are less and less able to prevent them to do so.

      And even so, given the current state of the society, even the “best case scenario” will be enough to make it collapse.

          That’s the ticket! It’s always great when a random idiot stranger on the internet agrees with you… (no, really:-P).

          At some point, defeatism is just realism, no matter the amout of hopium people try to sell to you.

            Then do us all a favour and remove yourself, if you’re going to go full nihilist and hopelessness. If all you are willing to do is be inactive and continue to consume then we’d rather not have you around doing nothing but contributing to the problem.

            OR

            Join the rest of us and DO SOMETHING! Fight for something you want, do you remember that feeling? Have you ever known it or have you always been this pathetic? And if you truly believe that there is no hope then why not end it all by taking out some of these polluting fuckers with you?! Don’t get depressed, get radicalised!!!
