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
At least you’re still able to imagine it. I’m currently living it with the area I live in being very vulnerable to it. You get weirdly accustomed to it. Things aren’t easy. Foot shortages and droughts are increasingly common, sometimes it gets so hot that I hide in this hole I dug near the house, and it’s depressing seeing non-reptiles becoming less common.
Community is key and the silver lining here is how much closer everyone has become.
Comment too earnest and real to make snarky clapbacks on “foot shortages” 0/10 do not recommend
Seriously though, the fog of irony and nihilism is so heavy round here it can make threads with integrity and humanity even harder to take
Organize and build community, worst case we’ll have someone to share the eulogies with
