        That’s fair, and I do try as an individual, but also as an individual my efforts are effectively meaningless. The real destroyer is capitalism and I don’t like being a doomer, but, we are fucked.

          There are actions that can be taken that are far more effective than shit like that. I’d maybe go see what Andreas Malm has to say on the topic, for instance.

            1795 France has some very intriguing tools that could be used to cut the Parasite Class down to size, and to loosen their grip on civilization’s reins.

        There’s money to be made. We’ll need it when the climate goes to shit.

          We need to make it more expensive to continue the status quo than it is to change. Radical direct action is necessary. Even that probably won’t be enough.

          Though, as a climate Posadist, pumping all this carbon into the atmosphere and then setting off a few nukes in resource wars will definitely be a clear signal to ETs that there’s something on earth they could talk to.

      We need to stop this or it really is a given. I’ve been in this mindset a lot, but we gotta stop. Finally there’s a tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Los of progress etc. people’s egos and distrust and cynicism about others will truly be our doom should that befall us this century (haha hopefully not this decade)
