I think most sane people realize this. The ones in charge is too busy thinking about themselves to give a shit, so we are doooomed.
- The ones in charge, and the ones that control them. And it's not that sane people realize the details, they just sense that things aren't right. Going further in to understand things is both boring science stuff and frightening, so they prefer to keep it easily dismissive in their head so they can function.
  
  The ones in charge are typically old AF and know they'll probably die of other causes before the consequences of their actions kill them
  
  All sorts of ladies at my condo trying to figure out how to fix the grass situation and they don't like not having grass as a solution.
- And as politicians would think:
  Oh, I wonder why young women don’t want to have kids… it must be because of dating apps!
Climate change is now accelerating, we do not have much quality of life left.
- Meh, sounds like a problem for ~~future generations~~ the poors to worry themselves over.
  
  It's not even future generations anymore. It is happening right now. We are all going to experience it regardless of our age.
Don't worry, the US just enacted a $200 billion ice funding bill.
...
Nevermind, that was $200 billion for ICE.
We're fucked.
- $ 200 billion for ICE?
  That's pretty good, webrtc deserves that money.
We’re cooked. We were defeated by extreme inequality.
Surely someone will listen this time.
Yup.
Where is that "we're doomed" clip from The Newsroom when we need it?
Were fucked cause yall (murder complacent)trash would rather pay to kill others so you can "enjoy" their flesh. Raising them just to kill them is causing so much green house gas emissions its going to kill us all. Im glad tbh. I hope the world burns.
Why are people who understand what they talk about always so pessimistic? Pessimism is not good for your health - they shouldn't be dismissive of anything just because of what might/will happen in the future. Learn something from the folks who talk out of their elbows and start living in the moment. The world hasn't ended even once before, so why worry about it? Let people do whatever they want and if that leads to the end of the human species completely, then we deal with that after it happens.
Edit: I'm confused about the downvotes - is the sarcasm not clear enough and you're downvoting because you think I might actually mean it, or is the sarcasm clear and you just feel like the comment deserved a downvote?
