So I just read this paper and needed to talk to someone. You should absolutely read it but essentially, all society, including affluent nations, is going to collapse starting this decade. The article states 20% probability of human extinction before 2100 as one reasonable figure reached by some reputable scientists.
Capitalism and sustainable development and incremental reforms have failed so far and will continue to fail. Organizations, like IPCC have consistently undersold the extent of climate change happening. In fact, the trends we are now experiencing are the worst predictions of the mid-90s. Even now, the view of societal collapse is seen as scaremongering even among scientists but we have reached a stage where we need to consider this not just a hypothetical, but actually reality.
I just...we don't have any time left. I really don't know what to do. It just doesn't seem real. How do we even prepare for something like this?
My only answer is to not let this make you a doomer.
Sure, shit is fucked, and bad things are definitely going to happen, but what is revolution if it isn't hope in the face of the hopeless?
We're a wall against the wind, combined we can care for one another, build communities and respect the value of human life no matter the circumstances.
Even if this is true, and we're all fucked, I'd rather the last human interaction to be one of kindness and solidarity than one of greed and corruption.
The alternative to revolutionary thought is to accept the status quo. We're all here because we know we can't accept it and won't.
I love you Comrade. Stay strong, keep building a community, and know that we're here for you if you need it.
