      Humanity has survived much worse. Its really nothing to panic about.

        “Humanity” “surviving” just means that while the majority of humans may die, we won’t actually go extinct as a species. Not really much of a consolation, and it also doesn’t say anything about how good or terrible the lives of the surviving humans will be. Especially when it was preventable and we collectively had plenty of chances to fix it from the industrial revolution to now.

          It wont kill a majority of humanity. I think you are one of those people who finds it easier to imagine the end of the world (through climate change) than to imagine the end of capitalism (through collapse of the US empire). The latter is whats actually happening, but propaganda doesnt want you to know that.

      You know when you learn about the politics of midieval Europe and go “holy shit what a clusterfuck! I can’t believe those monarchs and clergymen were so vile!” Well that’s what future generations will say about most of the world’s governments, especially the West.
