MODERATORS
Actually even if somehow all environmental pollution stopped at once, assuming it stops before a runaway event too, it would still take a long time for some greenhouse gasses to not have an effect. And that's not even getting into PFAS and adjacent chemicals and microplastics as macro plastics break down.
So either way, should still expect things to get worse for a while even if somehow everyone actually banded together to make things better.
PS: the math is pretty certain on some of this stuff too.
I'm aware of the ecological collapse on the horizon, things will almost certainly get worse materially for a lot of people.
Not in denial about the extent of the damage, and the consequences will not be something that is trivial to overcome.
However I think the case that is to be made is against despair, the people responsible for our current ecological devastation and unequal distribution of resources all have names and addresses, are mortal, are no smarter than any of us, and can be organized against.
A-fucking-men! Things can change fast, be ready to throw down!
Bruh, hope is for the basic! Pull up and join the doom squad, fam!
Oh I'm hoping alright
Hoping my doom squad is ready to party when the party starts
We're always down for a party, I brought cookies to the last one
It's* but not wrong
If ww3 breaks out I'm fleeing from the us to Canada to fight for them. At least I'll die with dignity
I get the sentiment, but wouldn't you be more effective at that point from attacking within enemy lines?
Might die from a drone strike while in an outhouse, you'd still have more dignity.
Depending on how well the USA resists Trump we might honestly be at the bottom of the dip.
I really want to hold onto that hope. Keep going.
Wake me up when they start trying to resist. And I don't mean the Democrats putting up bullshit protests before voting for it anyway. I mean sustained protest/strike action from the populace in an attempt to actually affect change.
We're nowhere near the bottom.
We will just continue to consume shitty soulless entertainment and talk to social media or the TV when something upsets us.
I care
Because I'm stealing yours too
Who knew we were all sweet summer children born into a game of thrones style world without really knowing it. Winter is coming friends.
I’ve been explaining to people. Get in shape now. You will need it soon.
I think you want to be overweight so you can survive the famine times. I'm in great shape right now and ripped, but if we face food shortages I'm either going to die quickly or have to start eating the fat people.
I have a terrible BMI. I’ve always had a terrible bmi when I was 5-10% body fat. Because of how much muscle I have. So at the moment. I’m probably in good shape to survive the culling. I also live in the fruit bowl of America. With family managing massive farms. So food isn’t far off for us to get. But I’m still at 30% bmi with a 270lbs frame. I can go for some time for sure without food. But I’m pushing for a 315lbs bench this week. 3 plate club for the first time in a long time. 6’2 height. I’m ready.
Also I am a relative of “Sons of the revolution”. My blood has fought in every war in this nations history since the French Indian War.
I’m ready.
So you're bulletproof as well? lol, we're all fucked.
Nope. But I’m ready to step up and help a brother or sister in need.
Never underestimate the value of good cardio health.
Being able to trudge for long periods of time in difficult terrain is a very useful skill.
Bonus points for knowing how to navigate without digital technology, where we're going we don't want to geo-pin ourselves.
In my head this sounded like Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
I'm OOTL, can anyone explain?
USA is starting their fascist speed run.
