    Ok doomer. I love how convenient the “It’s too late! We’re already fucked and we’ll never change!” narrative is for just sitting back and doing nothing to make things better. I understand it’s hard, so live checked out and in a spiral of fear and anger at humanity if you want while those of us who give a shit try to fight back and make changes.

    Humans aren’t a monolith, and putting yourself over anyone else isn’t a trait inherent to humanity. Plenty of cultures value the group over the individual, just not America, and America is paying for it as it sets itself on fire.

      The Earth’s climate is a monolith, one big system we are all subject to, and this is a pass fail test for the species. Feel free to tell the CAT 6 hurricanes about your nation’s carbon footprint if you think it will help.

      I’m not reveling in the doom, I’m living life, aware the outcome for this species is bleak. I don’t respect self-delusion.

        This species has been at the brink of what it thought was surely economic, ecological, and societal collapse a bunch of times in its existence.

        Maybe we’ll get past this one, or maybe Malthus will have turned out to be right.
