I am not generally pessimistic, but i think it's just over. We won't do shit.
i think most people will wake up when hunger and extreme heat comes to knock on their door. im not sure if its gonna be too late by then.
i do see the seeds of revolution starting to germinate, that looks like it will come first.
The problem is you can’t get people to organize and work together if everyone is worried about where to get their next meal. Hell, people can barely even do that now; how much more when that time comes.
That's exactly when people come to work together. The French Revolution happened because people were starving.
