An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

It's not life or death for life on Earth. It's life or death for much of the current life on Earth, specifically humans and most multicellular organisms. This has happened before, it will happen again, unless we learn to stop the cycle, which probably involves Starlifting.
You are missing the point. It is life and death for so many living organisms on Earth. It is the empathy towards towards those specific organisms that is the point. Thinking, "life will just go on" is the opposite of empathy.
I heard the WHOOOOOOOSH from over here as the point went over that other person's head. Holy shit lol
Nope. I got that point. My point was that life in general would probably be better off without humans around, and will continue once we kill ourselves. Shame that so many other species have to suffer, but hopefully many of them recover when we are gone.
