They literally can tell the world that we change or die and politicians just don’t give a fuck because they need their next sweet gig from fossil fuels.
Fossil fuel companies also don’t give a shit because they need to fund their next coke fucked party and once things get really bad we’ll just blame the Jews or the trans community or something
And the world at large? They’re kind of the same as most Americans right now. They know it’s bad, but bills need to be paid and oh, here is a special discount coupon, score! Sorry, protest Trump’s horrible actions? Well, yeah, but coupon!
This is literally the state of the world right now as I see it and it’s depressing
I don’t believe we will die out as a species, I do believe that within a hundred years we’re lucky if we have a few million humans alive, still.
Mind you, I don’t want to give up, but I have given up. It takes too much mental energy, it’s making me depressed. I’m just quietly enjoying my time with my sweet dear wife until the day it’s all over. It sucks, but I’m not going to be separating plastics that will be dumped together anyways while pop stars still fly private planes FFS.
Yeah, that is what I did. Then it felt all futile, because it is. I help people around me and what not, I’m a good good or at least I try to be, but for the environment? Nah, I’m done. Been trying to save it and “do my part” for fourth years now and for each hard steps I help, I improve the world by 1, some random dingdong does a -46295829 in a single tweet even…
Either we murder all the psychopaths and narcissists and billionaires in the world, or we’re deeply fucked.
Hell, even if miraculously we fox the CO2 problem (spoiler alert: we won’t. Can’t now, but even if we could, we wouldn’t) there are a hundred other “oh holy fucking hell my dick is on fire” environmental issues that nobody gives a shit about PFAS? Let’s just go and spread the joy everywhere! Let’s mine the ocean floor and destroy everything we have there! Let’s chop downall the rainforests we have so that we can make a quick buck!
The human race is fucked unless we do something very drastic. If you know of actual solutions, not the “well separate your garbage, YOU need to do your part” nonsense, then let me know
This is how I feel too. I’m vegan, don’t drive, don’t support shitty companies or politics and I spent much of my life trying to make shit better.
And for what? I’m just so fucking done having any faith in people improving at this point. At least if enough people know the world is ending, they might have fewer kids and this might lessen the length impact our species is having by a few fractions of a percentage.
I’m still trying to make shit better ffs and it’s still not working, lmao.
It doesn’t help but I so get it

If you can’t be part of the solution, be part of the problem, I guess?
Oh I’m not the one making it worse.
I’m not flying private planes, I’m not using AI for dumb shit, I’m trying to make my footprint small, I don’t need much
I’m just done with trying to solve a problem that isn’t mine to solve to begin with
