    You forgot the part where we just kept mashing in the gun, over and over again, into the hole even as it poked through the wall and aimed the barrel at our forehead.

    Ok I’m poor and do everything I can. Stop lumping us all in. Billionaires are three ones fucking up the world. All my lifetime of conservation is undone in a day by a billionaire. I refuse to take equal blame

      Billionaires are three ones

      Pretty much, give or take a handful. It’s OK, the invisible hand of the free market will surely… trails off

      I just bought a car that consumes a lot more fuel than my previous one, but I won’t have kids, so not even cycling vegans can compete with my carbon footprint reduction, only the childless ones.

    Maybe the reason we haven’t found extraterrestrial life is because they, too, as a civilization have failed to stop itself from self-destruction.

    Perhaps this is the bitter and paradoxical nature of life. The struggle to exist but is doomed to go extinct.

    If you want to stop climate change, the only thing we can that has any hope of working is a peaceful revolution.

    To start with, join a union or learn how to unionise your workplace. If you can, look into setting up co-operatives. The IWW has some great resources. Anyone can start a union, you don’t need any sort of special qualifications or knowledge. Join the IWW, they have some great free trainings you can join to learn how to make real change at your workplace.

    Once enough people are unionised, we can start building a coalition of unions, all of which can work together to tackle larger and larger issues. If we have strong union efforts in each industry then we can protect the working class against the negative effects of striking - for example, if there are unions in the food production industry, then people striking don’t need to worry about going hungry.

    This is how a true people’s revolution happens. With the least amount of violence possible, a bottom-up, people-led movement.

    If you believe in this in any way, please, join the IWW. I know it seems like a long journey, but it begins with a single step, and that single step is joining the IWW.

      well, I didn’t think a somewhat peaceful revolution could be possible, I was rather pessimistic… But now I feel like it is after all !

      thanks for giving me hope !

      go unions !

    Yeah but to be accurate you should include a baby version of the cat and have the gun barrels aimed at him instead.

    It’s … it’s not like that at all.

    It’s a seemingly complicated Rube Goldberg machine with an enormous amount of other species extinctions before our own.

    It’s inefficient is that it is.
    We need something more direct like the pictured solution. Other species deserve us getting efficient like that.

      Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.

      We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”

      All it takes is one ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.

      I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.

      That’s because whatever we encountered, there were still places where humans could survive.

      If Earth turns into an other Mars, that wouldn’t be the case.

      Maybe life would survive though. Hopefully.

            Well there you go: there is a bright side to all of this. One: fire produces light 🌞, hence "bright"😎 (groans in dad joke).

            And two, humans are so creative! We really probably could find a way out of this mess, if only we would apply ourselves to doing so…

            If only…

    Have you done any research or are you just repeating doomsday propaganda like a parrot? By the way, there are quite a few well-known scientists who claim that we are heading towards an ice age, and they have nothing to do with leftists or right-wingers. If you want, I can look for links, but I don’t believe you’re actually interested; you have your own views.

      Anthropogenic global warming is not a “debate.” It is a scientific consensus among a significant majority of the world’s scientists across a full spectrum of disciplines, whereas the counter opinion remains a minority pushed almost exclusively by monied interests.

      Have you done any “research?” Are you a qualified expert in any relevant field? I predict that you are not.

        No, I’m not an expert in climate change, which is why I don’t talk about it and don’t push anyone’s agenda. Maybe other non-experts should do the same. But it doesn’t matter.

          I have advanced degrees in climatology and geographic modeling, so I feel like I’m allowed to say that yes, anthropogenic climate change is a well-researched and understood process AND that you don’t know shit about what expertise other people in this thread have.

          Just because your opinion is uneducated doesn’t mean mine is.
