    Its just wild to me that people see that our government and ruling class cant even address a virus but they are somehow deluding themselves to think we're going to reorient our entire society to save the world? Without destroying the ruling class and taking collective control of the situation we're heading straight for the most dystopian mad max future imaginable.

      confronting the reality that nothing is being done by those in power to prevent the predicted death of everyone you know is pretty difficult. clinging to false hope that the systems youve trusted your entire life will fix it despite all evidence to the contrary is much easier.

      It's always darkest before it goes pitch black.

      Maybe this is just it for Earth's mammalian population, and we need to give crabs another bite at the apple.

      Baked into everyone's an is either complete denialism, or some kind of not yet discovered magical technological solution. So there's no need for societal change.
