I would be sad about this, but I think I’ve used up all my sad, and now I’m just pissed. We could prevent all of this, but its gonna have to get really really bad before we drag our leaders out into the streets over this crap. It’s a sad day for our species, and barely anybody even notices.

And it’s a one-way progression, so if we let it get to that point it’s going to stay at that point even after the leaders are gotten rid of. In order to actually solve the problem properly, we have to do it before it gets bad enough for normies to support it.
Well, fortunately Trump is doing a pretty good job at radicalizing everybody in the US (and outside the US) against the status quo/world order and those who uphold it.
Hopefully we will never resort to that sort of violence to address our problems though.
Radicalizing… who exactly? I see some anemic little protests full of Americans who are unwilling to actually commit civil disobedience, let alone do something “radical.” I see people rolling over and taking it. Where are the “radicalized” people?
Just because protests aren’t being covered by the mainstream media doesn’t mean they don’t exist. And a significant portion of liberal spaces are becoming radical in sentiment, even if some are still constrained to hoping Bernie and AOC will save them in 2028. You aren’t going to hear me praise anything going on as being sufficient, though.

It’s kinda like when you’re hungry and the hunger pains don’t go away until twenty minutes after you’ve started eating so you eat way too much.
A lot of the major consequences aren’t here yet (enough that denial is still possible). People will notice after it’s already gotten really terrible and it’s beyond obvious that we should’ve done anything at any cost about it.
Maybe when the arctic circle is springing up palm trees people will understand that it’s not a Chinese hoax.

Great. Sad leads to apathy; angry leads to guillotines.

Funny, because I’ve been seeing some of the largest protests my city has seen in 20+ years

You still have piss? I’m so pissed out. It’s just comedy at this point.
It’s still funny to you? I’m just trying to make it to Tuesday.
Oh honey, that was yesterday. Someone needs a hug.
