      Honestly at this point? Fine fuck it. I am so jaded that at this point my opinion is just Humanity has had so many chances throughout history to get it shit together and has repeatedly continued to fail and fall into this small group of people with power ruin everything while everyone suffers bullshit.

      Time for us to just die and give the dolphins their turn

        Nah, fuck that.

        You know what humanity has done with its chances? Eliminated polio. Developed better crops and farming techniques to almost entirely eliminate famines. Slashed maternal mortality to a fraction of what it was 2 generations ago. Developed social and economic systems to tip the incentives in favour of peace and cooperation - even with gestures broadly at Russia and the middle east the current generation is less likely to be killed in war than in any other time in history. There are dozens of medical conditions that, if you developed then 50 years ago you just died where today it’s a routine surgery to correct.

        Apathy is what kills us. If you want to die then go get help - personally there are a few billion people I give a shit about.

          Apathy is what kills us.

          Literally. Anyone want proof? This:

          Slashed maternal mortality to a fraction of what it was 2 generations ago

          Maternal mortality rates have increased by 11% in the US since the repeal of Roe. This is driven by shithole states like Texas, where the maternal mortality rate has increased by 56% in the past two years.

          You didn’t vote for Hillary because she just didn’t inspire you? She didn’t personally visit your state? She didn’t blow smoke up your ass promising fossil fuel production would increase despite the industry clearly dying for decades due to market pressures?

          Fuck you, women are dying now. So when you go vote in November, you can either vote for the fucking assholes who did this or the party that isn’t going to do this. Choose accordingly.

          (Also, you said “cops” when you meant “crops” I hope!)
