    Something doesn't sit too well with me about having black, indigenous and Latino people kill themselves for being "American", despite being the least responsible for the climate crisis we're in. Yes, it could technically work, but that's a lot of people who don't deserve it, and that also deprives those groups of liberation from the hands of their WASP overlords.

      Sorry I meant the free will thing I'll agree the US should kill itself one is pretty outrageous.

        Aha, gotcha. Well, there's centuries of theology and philosophy ingrained in our collective understanding of the world that shaking off that notion rubs people the wrong way. For my part I think it doesn't matter because either way you have no way of changing it or doing anything about it. It's like worrying about whether or not we're in a simulation; even if that were the case, there's nothing you can do about it, and nothing you can do to influence or change it, so why bother worrying?
