like holy shit the bourgeoisie are trying to kill us all actively en masse within our lifetimes and all movement against it feels like it has died come the 20s. Every time it gets brought up it feels like people are either revelling in it, are denying it, are too tired to care, say “someone's going to fix it so there's no point in worrying," or get angry asking "well what do you want me to do about it I can't fix it" or something. It feels like we're in a moment where we have just abandoned science all together in the decaying west, so the plan is almost like to keep attacking the biosphere out of spite for everyone around us.

It feels Lovecraftian, I can't think about it because every time I do it paralyzes me in awe of the urgency and scope of what has to be done. Do I just stop thinking about it? I guess the answer is to keep organizing but I'm scared that we don't have enough time at this rate to address it before it gets catastrophic and has irreversible effects

As the effects become more real in people's eyes, exponentially more people will become radicalized. It's of very high importance for us to organize and have people across the world ready to be useful and educate people as the world breaks down over the next couple decades. If you're the kind of person that's getting "blackpilled" now, the knowledge, experience, and organization you can realize over the next 10-20 years can be what's necessary for the world to keep spinning. If there is to be human civilization in 100 years, the people who learn the critical things necessary about everything from agriculture to logistics and cybernetics are alive right now and learning about how those things are necessary. No other future is worth considering IMO.

The issue for me with finding rest in this, is that I watched that Al Gore documentary when I was a kid. "By the time we can see the effects, it'll be too late". I keep thinking back to that. Brings me down.
