    I don’t particularly want to sacrifice my small luxuries like a nice dinner or better quality tea, so I can save money for when I’m old and have significantly less energy than now. And that’s on top of the negative outlook on the future. I’ve tried hard to be positive but it’s really difficult when everything is going wrong

        Says the guy typing on a phone that countless exploited workers made for a deplorably low wage. Typical.

        You think we’re different… because They need you to keep that stratification alive.

        There is no Rich v Poor, we’re all crabs in a bucket compared to the ones truly at the top, and without their intervention: this planet burns.

          To be clear the planet will be fine, if it changes it’s only it’s habitability to humans and other current lifeforms.

          The planet will recover like it always does from major celestial events, ice ages and super volcanos. Following those life will eventually come back with or without humans.

          The planet deals on far larger timescales than we can comprehend as 100 year lifeforms.

          To be clear, I’m not advocating for the deconstruction of the current ecosystem as we know it. We should reduce our impact, but I’m saying the planet will be fine regardless.
