[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

    And because we have millions of people there’s no way to get enough people to agree to do anything meaningful.

    We are doomed and will go extinct.

    Perhaps a wiser species will marvel at the thin smear of radioactive material and toxic petrochemicals and mass extinction that marks our passing.

          I think you’re bordering extremely close to eco fascism and need to do some self reflection on what you actually value. Are you a fascist?

          Ecofascism, sometimes spelled eco-fascism,[1] is a term used to describe individuals and groups which combine environmentalism with fascism.[2]

          Ecofascism is “environmentalism through genocide”

            I don’t advocate for genocide to save the planet. The planet will do that quite nicely on its own. Plus I think humans will screw it up like everything else.

          Speak for yourself. I’m just stupid enough to live.

          Go do real shit in the real world. Go volunteer, pick up trash, organize with others and seek out other helpers.

            Doing shit in the real world and watching the real world fail to reverse its decline is a big reason I think we’re too stupid to live.

            But If you want to try to bail the Titanic with a Dixie cup I’m not gonna yuck your yum.

              I mean it beats being a defeatist, perpetually online and depressed little doomer, makes your immediate surrounding community a little better and you meet and hang out with cool, good people.

              Shit sucks, sure. Go do something about it instead of whining then.

          The propaganda is the series of influences that led you to believe it’s some natural epiphany you had for yourself and not an opinion shaped by those influences.

          Plenty of people look at the same exact human behavior you do and come to positive conclusions. You are a product of your influences, and some of those influences come in the form of propaganda encouraging you to be apathetic and allow those sociopaths tearing us apart to thrive.
