    I was terrified a few years ago, but now that I realized that nothing and no one is going to be able to fix all of our mistakes, I don’t give a shit anymore. We are doomed as far as I can tell.

    It’s like we’re in a car heading towards a wall with our foot on the gas. Instead of avoiding the wall we’re fighting over who controls the radio and A/C.

      Your reaction is also one that has been intentionally engineered. You not giving a shit helps the people making money off of creating the problem. Even if there is no chance of stopping the car it’s still time to punch them in the face and take the controls because fuck them.

        Can’t upvote enough. When it’s everyones fault, no one is to blame. Don’t let them off easy. Time to go medieval

      I think we still need to talk about this. We will endure the consequences, but should we endure them in a democracy or in authoritarian regime? That’s also one of the warnings from the IPCC report.

      Kind of my approach too. The powers that be had all the time in the world and stifled our reaction. If they don’t care with all their capital, neither do I.

      Like, people fly private jets… how fucked is that that they think that’s acceptable. The rest of us fly coach just fine.
