[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here's the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it's done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.
[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…
Futile actions and being around even more of a species I don’t want to be a part of will make me more defeatist and misanthropic.
How do you think I got this way?
Go find a local food bank and help out for a couple hours.
Been there. Done that. Didn’t help. Actually made me feel worse.
Alright good luck with everything then.
