    I think it’s always seemed like the world was going to hell. It’s all relative.
    I don’t care if you have kids. I don’t really care if humans go extinct. I’m happy to be alive so I’m glad my parents wanted to have kids,

      It’s always seemed like the world is going to hell, but now we have 200 years of scientific data to prove that we’re making the entirety of the biosphere uninhabitable for the majority of species on the planet, including us.

          I’m living in a world that’s rapidly decaying into poverty and fascism, with escalating catastrophic weather events getting closer and closer to my city.

          Also the immenent dropping of an atomic bomb by America or Israel somewhere on the planet, maybe in my country.

          I guess we should all just shut up about it, huh?

            Nah, it sucks for sure and if you have the energy to fight the good fight that’s great.
            But don’t think we’re unique now. Things have been real shitty plenty of times before. And people have fought back and made positive (if temporary) improvements. People have also suffered greatly, more than we can probably imagine. That doesn’t invalidate our current predicament, nor mean we shouldn’t do what we can to fix things.

      it’s not, that you can’t tell is a personal failing on your par
