    you nailed it, yeah, that's exactly right and how i feel too. i get so sad sometimes, because like, i recognize people legit wanna do something, even the people who haven't taken the time to really just deep dive into how fucked we are, they are at least smart enough to listen to what scientists are saying that we absolutely have to be doing more if we want the next generations to have a habitable place to live all around the world. the MSN and vast majority of politicians though refuse to actually report on some of the biggest examples of climate change happening RIGHT NOW. It's amazing to me how often I wont hear about massive, unusual nature disasters happening somewhere, but can find it on more small, obscure sources, usually catering to that exact thing about climate. So many people legit just don't fucking know how bad it is, and how bad it's getting, it makes me so fucking mad how little media covers huge natural disasters now, let alone explain why exactly it's happening and not just some freak anomaly. The way the new normal gets hyper-normalized so fast also makes me sick.

    Before we know it, the average person is going to repeating some ecofascist talking points because it will hit them like a ton of bricks how hard we've dragged our feet on maintaining a sustainable planet. I already know this is going to happen, because the bourgeois are going to make it happen just like that. I forgot who the CNN anchor was, but someone asked them why they don't cover climate change more and he literally said it kills his ratings. That's it— that's all it comes down to. It's so bad, but I don't see how it will change. Bill gates is talking about population control now, and as much as i hate him, he is pretty well respected and regarded for most people, so they will end up listening to him without a second thought.
