    I fucking hate that by now I my first reaction to this kind of news has become “… yeah. pity.” I realistically have another 40 years on this shitshow of a planet and I can’t feel optimistic about it at all.

      Yeah it’s really frustrating to know how long this conversation has been happening and there’s still be minimal change, often no change disguised by marketing or quiet conversions back to the status quo. CEOs and the rich who are bankrolling this shit need to start facing real consequences.

        They’ll have real consequences when they hunker down in their bunkers, only to be killed and eaten by their own security guards, once the collapse of civilization makes their money worthless.

        But by then it will be far too late for the rest of us.
