we will all be nuked, cooked to death from climate change or frozen, drowned or executed for being different. People will hate immigrants even more bc of climate cjange, people wil be even more hateful than they are now, thx to ai. It will be common place for brown people and openly queer people to be beat in public, protests won’t help that. It’s over its so so over, why was I born in the age of this I just want to live in my house and draw and be with my dogs why do I have to deal with this anymore I don’t want to anymore its so exhausting I just want to exist but my existence scares and angwrs people when I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore
im all in on nothing
humanity has been through far worse and we’ve been able to somehow survive it. it’s in our hands to make sure we all make it. help each other, work together, clench your fist, be resilient. we can make it out alive.
Humanity has never been to the brink of literally permanently destroying the entire planet
well, the biggest loss of primordial forest in europe happened during the roman conquests. we now have more forests in Europe than at the peak of the roman empire. the end of the ice age also caused a massive loss in biodiversity, in turn fueled by humans overhunting. moreover, the black death, cholera and tuberculosis are all “manmade”, in the sense that keeping livestock and living in an interconnected supply chain inevitably generates pandemics. so it depends on how you see it.
we’re also doing very good when it comes to renewables. scientists have concluded that we’re not in the worst-case scenario for climate change any longer.

ok well the “worst case scenario for climate change” was literally doing nothing, so that being thrown out is not an indication that “we’re doing very good” when it comes to renewables. according to current projections current policies are gonna lead to between 2.9C and 2.5C of warming by 2100 (this would be catastrophically bad), if you wanna be optimistic and model based off current government targets (not the policies they implement, just what they say they’ll do) then that puts us at around 2.2C warming by 2100 (also catastrophically bad). idk how you can come to the conclusion we’re “doing very good” im ngl, the original target was limiting global temperature increase to 1.5C but we’ve basically hit that already
fair point, i guess the more correct phrasing would be “I’m optimistic about the investment in renewables I’m seeing, given that I always assumed it will simply not happen”
It literally has. The cold war had 70,000 nukes between USA and Russia pointed at one another. Cuban Missile Crisis, misjudged alerts that a single person stopped from causing a nuclear attack, WWII, etc.
That’s not true. Things are gonna get a lot better.
Fucking when? They have only been getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse for years
things are remarkably better than they were when nuclear Armageddon was a threat they taught school children to prepare for
No? That was all completely unwarranted, material circumstances are far worse now than then
things are indeed better now than they were in the cold war, what…? essentially no progress has been made in terms of proletarian revolution, sure, but that wasnt any more likely back in the 60s than it is now.
People in America were better off because of the ussr, same with Russians and alot of other places
youre gonna tell me people in America were better off during the time of segregation?
I think it depends, some areas were worse and some were better, obviously it was still shit, but if was less shit
objectively not true
Name like one thing that’s gotten better in the past 5 years
the rise of democratic socialism in the us is something i did not dare to dream about 5 years ago
Electoralism, even if you made America a completely democratic socialist state would still merely serve as a lifeline for capital, it would eventually become like this again
electoralism is simply another avenue to both organize and expose the contradictions inherent to the liberal system. voting per se will not bring about a revolution, but rather its inability to fundamentally change things will radicalize the masses, methinks. it’s always good to see that the american people can develop class consciousness.

Anything relevant to the conversation the post has begun? Thought that was obvious from context
the conservation? well, the European wildlife boom has been a great boon to them I hear
Typo sorry meant conversation
