Alright, so we pump energy into a chaotic system and obviously the extremes will get more exteme. Stronger hurricanse, colder hurricanse and snap freezes, deeper floods, wet bulb events further north than you think possible, whatever. This is the known unknown.

I am existentially afraid of the unknown unknowns. At what point do the phytoplankton I'm currently breathing the poop of have a mass extinction event? All of human civilization is about to drown on dry land and I spend 5 days a week maintaining software that charges people for turning on their lights.

I crave death I crave oblivion death to america death to capitalism death to me.

The problem is not that you're being unreasonably doomer, the problem is you're more willing to fall over and die than to give up your lifestyle and work towards revolution. But that goes for the rest of us too.

bold of you to assume I won't do whatever any of you tell me to do

Even the PSL has embraced electoralism like literally what should I do? what actions am I supposed to be taking? What words can I speak that won't make me complicit in crimes beyond my comprehension?

I recommend looking to history. Get creative. Read about revolutions.

Yes yes, the revolutions all tell me to do a revolution of my own, and the imminent risk of suffocation is nothing but motivating. When do I get to storm the penthouses and megayachts? Revolution IRL WHEN? WHEN? WHEN!?? fuck you WHEN!!!!!!!???????????????????????????
