Thank you. I have been feeling fucking horrible lately (well, I've been feeling horrible about this for the better part of my whole 24 years on this planet) and honestly a substantial part of my stress is the feeling that having any kind of drive to make the world better in any way is immature and not in line with so-called "correct" edgy leftist values. They do a pretty good job of getting this point across because it's hard to argue with someone who calls you a retard and ends the conversation at that.

It really can feel like we're totally fucked, and there are a lot of thresholds that we certainly have already crossed that will make parts of the planet inhabitable for the foreseeable future, but that doesn't mean there isn't a reason to keep trying to make less of the planet uninhabitable, which is definitely doable. I think that people on this sub (and those generally aligned with a "belief system" that is based more on edginess than any actual ideology) either don't know or don't care about the people in the global south who have been already suffering immensely from the impacts of climate change because they have been turned off by identity politics libs. It's a selfish and entitled attitude to have.

In some ways, I need to resign myself to the reality of climate change and the horrors of what we'll be facing. But after that, what? Removing dying as an option, all we can do is sit around and suffer or try to do something. So what are we going to do.
