    I love the part were they kind of observe it in a detached, third person point of view, as if it didn’t affect them at all, and taking care of the issue in any way was beyond even their wildest dreams, just because they consider themselves above the issue.

    Oh, but by all means, keep self pruning your evolutionary tree branch.

    But do try to use those extra resources to last a bit. You don’t want to miss the global chaos the lack of social security is gonna create in about 20 to 30 years, it’s gonna be sick

      I love the fact that you ignore the parents who put them on the planet saying “they can solve it” then going on to destroy be dicks to people and the environment. I love it that you completely forget about the Fridays for Future, Last Generation, the people glueing themselves to the streets in protest, lots of other movements, and the ensuing reaction “oh, you’re children, STFU”. Funny how selective memory works.

      Oh, but by all means, keep self pruning your evolutionary tree branch.

      Yes, by all means, keep pumping out units and teaching them to condescend against others online. They’ll surely change the world in a positive way. Don’t forget to tell your children how nobody did nothing, but you, oh so brave and valiant Shardikprime, forced them into the world to bestow a wonderful life in the climate wars. They’ll be so grateful for your thoughtfulness.

      The detachment is more of a defeatism issue. When you have zero power to affect change, what the hell else can you do but work through the day and try to not have a breakdown?

      Mind you, I vote when that comes around, I just don’t have the mental fortitude anymore to not be detached. Don’t have the time or space to do more than that, which is rather by design I expect.

        you have zero power to affect change

        I vote

        So which is it? If we’ve got nothing to lose but our chains, then maybe we should “break down” together at strategic times.

          Both obviously. I did my part and sanity lost in the US. I continue to have no meaningful power.

          Our lives are also on the list to lose. The health and well-being of those that depend on us as well. Losing our chains is great if that’s really all you have to lose.
