    To help people realize that neoliberal capitalism is causing climate change and must be replaced with a planned economy to lessen the impact when society inevitably collapses.

        Yes. I’m fine. I accepted this reality a while ago. I still have periods of denial and frustration, but absurdist philosophy helps. I’m just here to help others with their journey, if I can.

      Everyone here has already reached that conclusion or they’d be on corporate social media. You must be doing a bang up job! Thank you for your service

        This allows me to vent about our situation. I prefer humor to doomerism. I’m actually quite optimistic about the future. We have the opportunity to evolve our interpersonal relationships and develop a world based on sharing and not selfishness. I’m confident we will succeed. The dystopian vision that is displayed in media is designed to make us hopeless and maintain the status quo.

      Were prehistoric animals neoliberal capitalists? Because a lot of them died due to climate change.

      One thing that hasn’t changed from Reddit is the naive politics of all sides. Depressing.

        Your comment proves your thesis. This isn’t political, it is scientific. The science is settled with empirical evidence. To think otherwise is naive.

          Yes, but what does that have to do with the tedious “everything bad that happens is capitalism” trope?

          There’s not much that’s scientific about that.

            It is the dominant political economy in the world at this time. It’s connected to climate change through overconsumption caused by the need for financial growth. I encourage you not to take some randos opinion, and look into it yourself. Good luck.

            If you want I can scientifically prove capitalism is the source of the majority of bad things currently happening in capitalist society; but lets be honest you just really don’t understand the word capitalism if you’re defending it.
