I don't know, whenever I hear such arguing it makes me feel like it emphasises the issues we as humanity have gotten into, not belittles.

I mean, hearing "everything is doomed" is kind of epic and has it's charm. Hearing "only the humanity is doomed" makes me feel shitty and want to do something about that.

tangentially related, CW: suicideProbably the same way one of the suicide prevention methods is de-romanticization of death, a lot of people expect death to be pretty, and it's not

‘Everything is doomed’ is epic and has charm, but ‘humanity is doomed’ moves you to action.

Okay. I mean. Whatever gets the action i guess.

Epic and has charm?? I don’t . . . Its . .

Remember how everyone was expecting the end of the world in 2012, kind of like that.

I personally don't find it romantic anymore
