    I don’t want to watch this

    Not anymore

    I’ve carefully watched this for decades

    I’ve urged everyone to take action

    I’ve carefully separated my garbage

    For decades

    And nobody cared, nobody cares

    Then comes in trump who just waltzes over everything and aims course straight for hell

    Let the world burn, I don’t want to one about it anymore, I’m done, I’m burned out, nobody who can make a difference gives a shit.

    Unless tomorrow all the rich and powerful in the entire world disappear, nothing will change, so I’m just going to sit here, enjoy the sunset while we still have fresh water and food and I fully expect most or all of humanity to be gone within 50 years

      Why not go out doing something exciting at least?

      It’s easy to make statements like that before desperation sets in. Starving is an awful way to die, death after nuclear fallout is excruciating and slow, you won’t enjoy any sunsets when the smoke from burning cities fills up the sky.

      50 years from now when you’re freezing in a cold muddy ditch, you’ll be wishing you died a martyr taking the 1/1e10000 chance to fix it.

      Edit: I’m legally required to clarify that martyrdom can result from non-violent acts 🙂
