    Real shame its the two failed would-be presidents that explicitly told USians we should trade our guns for healthcare that are taking point on this.

    If we up like Atlantis or some shit at least the future peoples can know we all knew everything was fucked and hate the decision makers as we do.

      Thing is, how bad it gets is still very much a human decision. Just because we haven’t done enough yet doesn’t mean we can’t.

          I don’t know for sure what’s going to happen in the future, but we have a lot of power as individuals to put our thumb on the scale in favor of more action instead of less.

            I don’t know about lots of power. I don’t want to be defeatist, I vote for survival and I do what’s in my power to spare the planet but hope eludes me. I’m starting to make peace with the fact that humanity will be facing the music soon.

        Hey, you,

        Feed the machine,

        Bring 'em all back down to their knees.

        No time to waste,

        Remind the slaves,

        They ain’t gonna make it out alive today.

        The overlords have already decided what they are doing. They’ve built countless bunkers and stocked them. They continue their extraction past the point of exhaustion. No one believes me, and everyone downvotes me. But we will ride this until the options are: deindustrialize, or die. Its too late to miracle our way out of here. We aren’t slowing down fast enough.

          The accelerationists have yet to figure out how to stop their guards from just taking all their shit for themselves when they can no longer be bought with money.

          So at least we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

            Its not much of a consolation prize. I’d rather us take extreme action within the next 5 years.
