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
Honestly, I’ve just been trying to ignore it except for when it’s useful for organizing and recruitment purposes, or during periodic reviews of my consumption habits to see if I can “do my part” better (which is easy when I don’t have money to spend on consuming). But since the climate is fucked unless capitalism ends, that’s where I put my mental energy, and the existential climate dread gets compartmentalized as much as possible. No use stressing about the eye of Cthulhu getting larger in the sky
