My advice is to live your life as best as you can without worrying too much about things you can’t control. Try and build a life around yourself that’ll help you be happy through it all, regardless of what happens. Enjoy your 20’s. 30’s are good too and 40’s don’t suck either.
To paraphrase Sun Tzu: do not choose a path to victory. Instead, choose a strategy such that all paths lead to victory.
And don’t have kids.
Don’t want em to suffer worse shit down the road.
Seriously. This isn’t the bible where people prophitized the world will end in 130ad. We are in it now. This is happening, and educated people have been warning everyone about it.
*Bible apocalypse year estimated
When the supply chain breaks down, see what happens.
You thought COVID toilet paper was bad, lol
Damn dude didn’t take long to throw out the “KYS” card, huh? Spoken like a goddamn bot. This is why we refer to you people as NPCs because everything you say is so goddamn predictable. You do not even have an ounce of original thought in you
Next is go touch grass… no wait you did that already, so why don’t you skip to the calling me a LibCuck and fuck off already, hmm?
Nearly 62,000 people died heat-related deaths last year during Europe’s hottest summer on record, a new study has found — more heartbreaking evidence that heat is a silent killer, and its victims are vastly under-counted.
Um… It’s literally happening right now. They told our grandparents “it’ll be your grandchildren who will really suffer”
We’re the grandchildren. Food and water shortages, people dying from the heat, floods, pandemics. All of it is happening in first world countries. The US, Europe, China… Last year, this year, next year
We’re past the “slowly gets worse” phase. We fucked around for that. We’re starting the “find out” phase
This one’s kinda loaded. Imagine everyone just stopped having kids. We’d be extinct.
We don’t need to pump them out like we’re recovering from a war.
Also whose gonna take care of all our old asses in the future? Society was kinda built on this system.

Good
Also whose gonna take care of all our old asses in the future? Society was kinda built on this system.
Let us suffer. If we even make it far enough for that to be an issue.
This is such a depressing and pessimistic view on it though.
Imagine a world where the top humans actually cared and didn’t exist to just exploit the classes under them. That would be a good place to be, but humanity’s greed will never cease to exist.
I don’t care if we go extinct. Once I’m dead reality shuts down since I can only experience it from my POV.
And it’s cute you think we’re gonna allowed to retire instead of dying at work or homeless. Real cute. We won’t have the same luxuries as the damn boomers.
I am shocked at how quickly everyone is giving up.
We can’t just quit and go gently into that good night. All life on the planet is depending on us.
Bro if we die it’s MUSHROOM SAMBA TIME.
that or cockroaches
Nah mate, most life is going to do just fine, just like it did the past 5-20 mass extinction events in the last 500 million years.
The people however are fucked, but they’re the ones who refuse to listen, so fuck 'em.
Try and build a life around yourself that’ll help you be happy through it all
Lmao good luck with that when global food chains collapse.
Welcome to the battle sphere. 7billion people enter, 1 billion people leave.
You are selling apathy and do-nothing.
I am selling the opposite. Join radical political organisations that seek radical change. Take part in doing something about it.
No you aren’t selling hope either. Your comment was about 6 billion out of 7 billion people dying. You didn’t ask to do activism or anything… and joining “radical politicial organisations” will get you branded as a terrorist. There is a need for activism but under a capitalist system only profits will matter. There is very little under our control and only enforcing policies at govt. level will help.
I’m not asking people to sit around waiting for end to come. I’m asking them to do things which make them happy whether it’s playing video games or climate activism. Worrying about shit won’t fix climate change, strategical political and economical changes might.
It was like that to illustrate to you the scale of the problem and the scale of immorality hidden within the “just do whatever you want and be happy”.
Get organised. Join radical orgs. Get unionised. How many of you have even bothered to join a union yet? Like the bare fucking minimum. Of the people in this thread I bet it’s a handful. Join an org, go to a 1 hour fucking meeting once a fortnight. It’s not hard, everyone is just lazy as fuck and sitting around waiting for someone else to do it for them.
Absolutely NOBODY will do it for you. The working class must rescue itself. People need to get this through their fucking heads, the system has failed and is not going to reverse course.
Mate at some point or another you do need to chastise people for claiming they want change, even posting on the internet about all the change they want to see, “remvolutionnnnn!” they shout, and then they do absolutely fucking nothing about it.
Every now and then a kick up the arse helps. I’m not “trying to reach out” to most of these people, I already know that they’re ideologically where they need to be, they already believe that capitalism will not save the planet, they already believe that every day is a step closer to mass famines and societal collapse, they trust the scientists. They want change. What they’re not doing is getting off their arse and going to people that actually want to do something about it. They inactive, they’re hoping something magical will happen with the existing capitalist political ruling class who have brought us to this cliff edge and that they’ll magically stop us marching right off it. They don’t even believe that they will stop the march off the cliff but something deep deep deep down is still making them hope and pray for the yesterday when they could just stay at home and be politically inactive, where politics was a thing that happened on the news and didn’t impact them too much.
Well that shit has changed and they need a boot up the arse to realise that. I don’t need to reach out to them because they already fucking agree. All we need is for all of them to get off their arse and actually do something.
So yeah I’m fine with how I’ve framed it. If you think I’m “reaching out” to you you’re probably still calling yourself a liberal, you’re not the target.
The “kick up the arse” doesn’t work. You’re just going to make people get defensive. You being rude gives them an excuse to not listen to you - now they can strike you off as a madman radical and move on with their lives.
This person was just advising to not get overwhelmed with anxiety and panic for the future because it’s just going to make the present suck before that future is even here. They never said “don’t take any action at all” or “it’ll all magically be okay”. Going to that person to try and overwhelm them with anxiety and panic for the future and calling them names for not being overwhelmed with anxiety and panic for the future isn’t any kind of rhetorical “tough love” thing you’re trying for it to be - it’s just a dick move.
Trying to overload people with fear doesn’t work. It’s actually a denialist tactic, when your brain is so overloaded with fear it can’t function with it, everything turns into a blurry mess as a self defense mechanism. You stop thinking about it, that’s what most conscious people have done. Very, very few people have genuine faith and trust in today’s political authorities. But regardless, in that state it’s very easy to fall for a counter narrative just to be more calm with your life.
Also, I’m not a liberal. Not every country has an organized and effective radical left. In here the most radical leftist parties do is sit on their asses writing articles on websites that look from the 90s about how we should support ISIS in their anti-imperialist struggle. I focus on improving and sustaining my own community.
Completely disagree. Have seen it work plenty of times and will absolutely continue doing it. Shame is a powerful motivator and you’re simply wrong.
In here the most radical leftist parties are leninists so all they do is sit on their asses writing articles on websites that look from the 90s about how we should support ISIS in their anti-imperialist struggle. I focus on improving and sustaining my own community.
This is bollocks mate and just goes to show you literally do not participate. You’re mad at me for chastising you because you feel that it applies to you.
Go and join an org and stop making excuses.
I’m not telling you what to do. I’m telling you it’s a shitty thing to do and it doesn’t work. It didn’t work in this thread, and if you’ve found instances of it “working”, I’m 90% sure people just followed along with you so you stopped nagging them. Shaming someone doesn’t convince them, at most it may convince third observers.
This is bollocks mate and just tells me you literally do not participate by highlighting that you have absolutely no clue what anyone is doing. You’re mad at me for chastising you because you feel that it applies to you.
You can ascribe any feelings you want to me, the truth is the same. Most leninists in here don’t do anything, they just whine on blogposts about stupid bullshit. As a matter of fact I do have a clue, because I keep the article as a great reminder: pmli.it/…/20151015_scuderiletussupporttheislamics…
Instead of being part of them, as I previously said, I focus on improving and sustaining my own community. In that I’ve done way more for the proletariat of my country than any smug authoritarian cuck has done in years.
So you’re not organised. You’re not even in a union. And you’re not doing any organising.
Thanks for the confirmation. I’ll be on the picket lines.
[This study compared capitalist and socialist countries in measures of the physical quality of life (PQL), taking into account the level of economic development.

at equivalent levels of economic development
You mean in the middle of nowhere with some camel shit here and there socialism would produce better quality of life? Yeah, maybe.
Only “capitalist” countries may be on that level of development, and may be on the level of USA or maybe Germany or Finland.
While “socialist” countries are not represented on the latter, why would that be?
So you’re ignoring 85% of the capitalist world then. Cool.
I can make socialism look fucking awesome if I ignore the 85% of it that performs the worst too.
And that’s completely ignoring the fact that every single bit of standard of living you get in the western empire comes off the backs of exploitation of the global south.
Naming germany is fun, eastern germany used to be socialist and wants to go back to socialism, while Berlin’s population voted to expropriate all property from all major landlords via a referendum, seizing 1.5million homes owned by the parasites. And what’s happening over in Salzburg city proper where 20% voting for the communist party might spook you, 1 in 5 reds under the bed! Ooger booger!
“Global food chains” have lots of strategic depth. When you see a crisis somewhere affecting those and causing famine, that’s usually for the regulation time, not until the crisis itself is resolved, and scaled accordingly, not on the scale of the crisis itself.
Most of the agriculture on our planet work inefficiently. Such an event, if we accept your scale, would just ultimately destroy the producers who do that in favor of those with modern effective means like intensive gardens etc, like many in Israel or Netherlands.
Now, this surely is going to give power to people we maybe don’t want to have it. But this doesn’t mean 6 bln people dying.
Literally every single piece of climate research is predict global food chain collapse. The most recent calls are saying that we will hit tipping points that guarantee this in the next five years.
You are completely out of touch with what is actually being said by the people screaming that we are on the way off the cliff. They are warning that shit is happening much faster than originally predicted, and they were already originally predicting that the food supply collapse would happen by 2040 years ago. This is happening sooner than you realise. Oh and guess what?
Food collapse isn’t something that happens slowly either mate. Everything in our system is interlinked, when part of the chain breaks we will get complete global chaos. Worse though, when things get real bad there will be no more ability for anyone to cooperate internationally. Once chaos begins it will be impossible to both bring down carbon and maintain order with nations of people rioting and dying from famine.
There is an extreme sense of urgency that some of you are just absolutely not getting at all about this.
What I’ve said is that it’s not static and you don’t know what you are talking about.
It’s the same kind of prediction as one of London being buried under horse shit.
I’m not the one fucking saying it. If you ever bothered to read you’d know that it’s the research scientists and professors at the the university of Exeter in one of those links, or the research scientists and professors at the Columbia University in another, or the research scientists at the Anglia Ruskin University in another.
You are literally just a denier. Did you deny covid was serious too? Post some anti mask and anti lockdown shit?
You failed to comprehend what I wrote for a second time.
“Scientists and professors” writing something don’t make, for example, a monkey holding the paper and thinking that paper helps it intelligent.
Underground bunkers are a prepper fantasy held by people with masculinity issues. They’re completely useless without supply chains and communities to support them.
What gets people through hardtimes isn’t individualist isolationism. It is collective support, community building and cooperation. The pooling together of labour within groups in order to perform tasks more efficiently overall for the collective benefit.
Still need a solution for water. Also build yourself an earth ship 😂
Honestly I probably will some day…
