      No amount of radical activism will significantly change the political landscape in most EU nations. In fact, the activism is on the rise, and yet far right is winning big time. Soon in your EU parliament and bye-bye combustion cars ban. Expect abortion bans instead. And we aren’t even talking about the fact that most pollution now happens in countries that would be impossible to change to sincere green policies. Although the EU supply chain initiative is a step in the right direction, and yet just a drop in the bucket.

      Your species are gone. And so are about a few billions of people in the developing world. The timer is some 10-30 years (90% prediction interval).

      Exactly what am I supposed to do? My radical proposal is we develop some infertility drug and start putting it into the waterways. Do you know enough biochemistry? I’ll be the driver. On a different topic, instead of recycling my plastic bottles, I shredd them and flush them into the toilet. In the name of humanity and species diversity.

        Honestly, and in many ways personally i feel like what we really should do is stop caring about the economy and start caring about our neighborhoods again.

        I originally wrote we should literally collapse the economy and stop going to work but as you read below my reasons that could work counts on people like myself not doing that… so far how my feelings translate to my reality i become a hypocrite…

        I know many people who work in varying public services. Hospitals, schools, government. All, me included, vouch we would still try to perform the spirit if not the law of our jobs even if we are not paid or there is a complete government collapse.

        Too many people are stuck dedicated all their time and energy to the pure profit of private industry. They often contribute nothing for the society around them except taxes that can be mishandled by elected celebrities.

        Don’t get me wrong me being pro public services and anti private industry, working with government. I am not pro centralized government. On the contrary down with our leaders. Not because there evil but because they are human. Placing a select team of corruptible humans at the helm of powers can only ever be a temporary system.

        I believe once we have eliminated the distractions.

        • for profit business (which exploits common wealth on principle)

        • centralized leaders (who cannot possibly understand the nuance and reason of every community)

        We can finally free up the workforce for what really matters. Building healthy thriving and most importantly sustainable communities for our children. Self organize, similar like we once did as tribe but with a major difference.

        “A global consciousness”, advanced knowledge and technology, the ability to share and communicate information anywhere in the world. Learning from eachother, helping eachother.

        Yeah, besides debating the topic here to raise general awareness, who knows really what we should do?
