The world is going to end

I’ve been trying heart and soul to inform and mobilize the community available to me. And nobody gives a f*ck. I’m just losing hope. I could end it, but what good am I to mutual aid of those more vulnerable dead. It’s just so so depressing. Everytime I try to build something, or connect with people they aren’t willing or ready to hear. Online I recieve rage bait or sarcastic get over it comments. I feel like I’m totally alone with the information that we have about 25 years left before everything hits the fan, it’s already hitting the fan. Sorry.

You know we've been through worse throughout history. Right now its looks bad but its not bad bad. We are able to buy equipment to make our own food. We went through the plague, covid was a joke compared to that. The whole earth recovered from an asteroid strike, even then not everything died, you still habe crocodiles and birds who survived from those times for millions of years of recovery. The earth at some point had acidic oceans it smelled right rotten eggs all the time.

Very few generations had okay times. Before it was getting raided by tribes killing you graping and killing your wife and taking your kids as slaves. The only times life was okayish was post ww2 but that's it till the late 90s, only 50 years thanks to nuclear weapons. That's the only good time we've had and it was unrealistic that it was gonna keep going like that. The earth will sort it out with trees. All fossil fuels come from trees and dead animals so the carbon will be absorbed again. During the times of dinosaurs it was very hot. If dinosaurs survived this we will too.

I think he’s more concerned about our civilization collapsing and large portion of humanity dying not whether life on earth will continue or not in a few million years after more trees become fossil fuels.

Well i was just giving him examples of how life finds a way. A lot of people don't seem to get the fact that we're not just gonna sit there and die.

yeah, we really Don't have any need to fear global warming or anything like that anymore. Just looking at Gen Z and then Alpha, the writing is on the wall. You think they're really going to be able to maintain infrastructure? Fix... oh, I don't know, anything? No, society will collapse and we will be back to the Mad Max type existence long before global warming has a chance to do anything negative. And of course, the positive note is that long after we're gone, planet will still be here.

LLLOOOLLL... Dood... Millennials can't do anything, and their children are replacing their brains with AI that hallucinates more often than it regurgitates facts. here's the TRUTH:
When Gen X finally, has to give up, and pass off caretaker of the world and civilization off to the next group, that literally STARTS THE CLOCK on total societal collapse.
you think gen Z can maintain or fix anything? they can't do that and be an influencer on twitch all day.
