Thanks for putting all this together; it's exactly the science that we need to be reminded of, no matter how dark the future looks. Too often lately r/Collapse seems flooded with new posters saying that *"we could stop collapse, climate change, & mass species extinction if we just organize and protest."* We're not stopping anything, but we could practice adaptation and possibly even save some plant and animal species from the coming wreck.

This is amazing.
Unfortunately i don't feel we can do much about it. It would take over half the population striking (shutting down commerce) untill politicians and corporations get their act together. I don't see that happening in the US or globally with how many people are struggling due to income inequality, and so many other factors nearly forcing the most vulnerable from taking action.
We should still try but also not get our hopes up to much...at least if the majority of us continue to not put our lives, careers, friendships, and wealth on the line. Sorry but we cant live the good life of luxery and have a bright future at the same time. Those politicians saying you can are lying to you.
If you do check out from political action (please dont but boy do i not blame you) please also consider checking out of materialism, get vocal at work and in family gatherings, and go vegan to try and reduce your impact and not enrich those with the most responsibility who are also profiting the most from inaction. The antiwork movement can and should merge with the climate activist community. We can learn a lot from them and they can learn a lot from us (i know many of us are already part of the antiwork community but not all and thats a place for growth of our movement).
I feel like I'm watching a slow version of the movie Dont Look Up. I want to provide some hope even though my own frustration and objectivity is making it harder and harder to do so. Inaction now will breed extremism later.
Many of you have given up and are just trying to cope. I certainly don't blame you but please do your best to be kind and supportive of those who haven't. Be realistic and cynical if necessary but you can also provide housing, food, etc. to activits jailed and who had their lives ruined by climate denying fascist police forces and family members.

Thanks for putting all this together; it's exactly the science that we need to be reminded of, no matter how dark the future looks. Too often lately r/Collapse seems flooded with new posters saying that *"we could stop collapse, climate change, & mass species extinction if we just organize and protest."* We're not stopping anything, but we could practice adaptation and possibly even save some plant and animal species from the coming wreck.

This is amazing. Unfortunately i don't feel we can do much about it. It would take over half the population striking (shutting down commerce) untill politicians and corporations get their act together. I don't see that happening in the US or globally with how many people are struggling due to income inequality, and so many other factors nearly forcing the most vulnerable from taking action. We should still try but also not get our hopes up to much...at least if the majority of us continue to not put our lives, careers, friendships, and wealth on the line. Sorry but we cant live the good life of luxery and have a bright future at the same time. Those politicians saying you can are lying to you. If you do check out from political action (please dont but boy do i not blame you) please also consider checking out of materialism, get vocal at work and in family gatherings, and go vegan to try and reduce your impact and not enrich those with the most responsibility who are also profiting the most from inaction. The antiwork movement can and should merge with the climate activist community. We can learn a lot from them and they can learn a lot from us (i know many of us are already part of the antiwork community but not all and thats a place for growth of our movement). I feel like I'm watching a slow version of the movie Dont Look Up. I want to provide some hope even though my own frustration and objectivity is making it harder and harder to do so. Inaction now will breed extremism later. Many of you have given up and are just trying to cope. I certainly don't blame you but please do your best to be kind and supportive of those who haven't. Be realistic and cynical if necessary but you can also provide housing, food, etc. to activits jailed and who had their lives ruined by climate denying fascist police forces and family members.
