My E/N thread has sort of run its course, unfortunately.

Besides, I panic here because any other place where I ask for advice is going to be filled with people goimg “oh we’ll figure it out” “you have nothing to worry about”, etc. i want proper answers to the problem of “how does someone with no friends, a controlling family and whose only reason to live barely comes from technology, will deal with the end of loving everything”?

actually your posts in this thread are a good reminder that maybe staring into the abyss that is climate change melts your brain and sometimes you should compartmentalize those fears rather than let them control your life

might want to rethink that chief:

quote:

Remember this, because when the moment of runaway climate change comes for you, where you live, it will not come in the form of a few wandering hairy bikers. It will come with the tanks on the streets and the military or the fascists taking power.

Those generals will talk in deep green language. They will speak of degrowth, and the boundaries of planetary ecology. They will tell us we have consumed too much, and been too greedy, and now for the sake of Mother Earth, we must tighten our belts.

Then we will tighten our belts, and we will suffer, and they will build a new kind of gross green inequality. And in a world of ecological freefall, it will take cruelty on an unprecedented scale to keep their inequality in place.

the road to collapse is paved with lovely fascism

Well, that's my point though. If the new fascism is a symptom of an at-this-point-realistically-inevitable climate change collapse, then there's nothing that can be done about that either. So, lmao.

quote:

Even as China is on course to overtake the United States as the world's biggest air travel market within the next three years, the country's hunger for aviation seems set to continue growing exponentially.
To sate that hunger, the government has embarked on an airport building program on a scale rarely witnessed before anywhere. Billions upon billions of dollars are being poured into runways and terminals that will plug the entire country directly into the global transport network.
China currently has around 235 airports, but with many lacking the capacity to sustain the coming increase in passenger numbers and flights, government officials estimate around 450 airports will be needed across the country by 2035.
That's the same year aviation analysts predict China will be handling a quarter of all the world's air passengers.

How on Earth do people who know all these things still have the strength to keep living?

I see no reason to fight a losing battle: who the hell cares if one decimal of a degree is better than nothing, do you honestly think the planet cares about you? What is the point of nature's beauty if there is nothing left to understand beauty? What makes an animal, little more than a machine that exists only to eat, gently caress and kill superior to man?

Do you honestly think a revolution will be successful when the other side has all the power and the guns?

But WHY? I just don't understand. Why does life have value and we DON'T? Animals kill without remorse, without reason. All life forms drive others to extinction, we merely did that to more of them. But any other lifeform could do that given the circumstances. Why do we suck so bad in your eyes?
