    well sure, because as the republiQans have just demonstrated - nothing matters and what if it did.

      We’re embarking on the final liquidation of humanity–we’re all getting sold out to temporarily satiate the greed of a few. Hooray 🥴🎉 the only comfort i can take from it is that the fucked planet will eventually be difficult if not impossible for them and their offspring to inhabit

        It is always funny to me when people post comments like this acting like this is the first societal collapse our species has ever had.

        This endgame has played out so many times it is boring to watch.

          I’m all for this not being the endtimes, fwiw – just has that kinda feeling but wtf do i know. I’ve never experienced endtimes before so maybe I’m way off and climate change + rise of fascism is normal and not a sign of the decline of humanity or whatever. I’m excited to find out, lol

            Don’t get it twisted, humanity is in decline. The evidence is abundant and apparent. But that does not mean we are in “the end times” of our species.

            The most likely thing to happen is another round of eat the rich followed by a good idea to move forward with that will eventually bloat to the point of collapse. Rinse and repeat.

            The rise of Fascism is just the last stop before the Train turns around.
