Sincerely, do not read this if your mental stability is tenuous. Basically details the numerous factors, environmental and otherwise, that are all pointing to societal collapse by the 2040s. I could barely get through it without feeling nauseous. There's some minor liberalism regarding China but it's more of a footnote than major focus.

      The saddest part of it is that all of this could've been avoided. Both of us could've lived normal lives if the bourgeoisie threw us a few bones. LIke you know, decent living conditions, a future, and actual hope about climate change, not some beyond useless, symbolic measures.

        Eh, you can't fix a culture of consumption with a few concessions. You'd have to change the root cause of overconsumption, capitalism, and that's not a concession that the bourgeoisie will ever make

        Yeah, I think about how cheaply i could have gotten paid off. Like, $65k out of school and some cheaper housing and I'd likely be out there enjoying brunch, sad to say. But here we are. I guess I'm glad for it, in strange way.
