How bad do we let things get? Should we wait until the planet can't sustain life anymore? Should we wait until it's 100 degrees F in the Artic? Until wildfires blanket entire continents or the last glacier is gone? Should we wait until fascist billionaires take even more from us? Until there are Flock cameras at every mail box? Maybe we should wait until the wells run dry or the tornadoes never stop. When is it going to be enough? I'm so tired of seeing things getting worse. Every. Single. Day. I'm ready. I've been ready. How about you?

How do we coordinate? How do we look after each other? What is the signal? If we don't work together then we are just continuing our slow march to destruction to the drum of the parasitic billionaires. Please, for us, for the cats, the dogs, the birds and trees. The fish and the whales, the beatles and the centipedes. Please tell me it's worth it to you, that you're willing to get uncomfortable, that you're willing to fight. There are more of us than them, and we are rapidly running out of time to make that mean something.

Too late

It's literally already too late.

... not that billionaires should see no consequence, but... what consequence are you going to make them see?? They've ALREADY ruined the planet.

    Not to mention that the people that have put us in this mess would love nothing more than for us to throw our hands up and say it's too late to do anything about it.

    If you don't want to help then you should get out of the way and not hinder the ones that do. I'm sorry you've adopted a defeatist mentality, but I'm still willing to try, and I think you should be too.

    Call it Pascal's Wager if you like, but if it's not too late to do anything, me doing my part, however small, will help, and if it is too late, my efforts won't make it worse.

    Your disbelief will never save humanity. The fact my obvious opinion was downvoted so far only speaks to how utterly FUCKED we are as a species, because most of you fucking worms are too stupid to understand the scale of this problem.

    You shouldn't be angry at me, but at all the corporations and billionares constantly fucking the planet even harder. Yet here you are, grandstanding on my account. Genuinely, pathetic.

    Who the fuck said people aren’t angry at the billionaires and corporations who caused it? Fuck you and your stupid little rants dude. Do you think you’re the only one who understands how shit works. You shouldn’t be angry at people who are trying to do more than just being pouty and mad and throwing little tantrums like a little bitch. Fuck you.

    I heavily disagree with this sentiment. Go work with your local conservation groups if you feel hopeless about the environment, God knows they need the help. You’ll be doing something useful and see that recovery and adaptation is possible. Endangered species can rebound, damaged ecosystems can recover, and societal views about our obligations to each other and the planet can change.

    You can disagree all you want, but reality will show you what you're fucking with.

    It's too late EXACTLY BECAUSE you are not a billionaire.
