    The world won’t do anything until mass migrations start happening, wars break out and people become desperate. The rich and wealthy will wall themselves out as long as they can while we kill one another.

    The rich are betting that they’ll be the survivors to continue the species … but chances are they’ll just last a bit longer then everyone else and die out along with everything.

    Humans survived and thrived as long as they did because they did things together. They won’t last long if not enough of them are around. Especially in a hostile environment that we’re definitely creating for future generations.

      That is already happening and I don’t see people do shit.

      Having children is the single most potent pacifier there is, once people have children they have the perfect excuse to mask their fear and subjugation by saying they now only and singularly care about their fucking children, and therefore will fight to maintain their status as slaves at any cost, and go against their fellow slaves fighting for freedom.

        Not having children is the single most biggest reason why people don’t give a fuck about life after they’ve died. They only care to maximise their individual fun for their lifetime. And what happens with the people that come after them, they couldn’t care less.

        (Just to show how bland such general statements are.)

          Empathy, self awareness and an awareness of all life and all the lives of others now, in the past and into the future is the single biggest reason why people give a fuck and are absolutely appalled at how so many people of every kind could be so aware of their collective destructive behaviors yet not want to do anything about it.
