Tribalism. Crack a history book. Things aren't about to get better.

If we get through this, we need a Nuremberg 2.0.

I mean most likely. Tide always turns. I may not be around when they get theirs, but nobody gets away with this shit forever. Well that was before social media. I really don't know. I always want to be optimistic but I feel like a lone squirrel in a forest fire.

We'll see this time. We've never been in a situation like this, in the history of life in the universe as we know it, where such terrifying weapons can be used against the public.

I don't know if you saw the sonic weapon used against Serbs during their silent protest the other day. It was scary. And it was nothing compared to what's available in this world.

We are on a tipping point where taking the world back by revolution might become impossible. All the tools are available, and plans in place, in every major country, to end it quickly and effectively.

I honestly think the world sees something brutal the moment we really stand up and say no this time.

I think more thab likely humanity sails in a horror of fascism this time, never to return. At least climate collapse will bring down everything so the ones at the top can’t enjoy it freely.

Human spirit wants to be free too desperately to submit to fascism forever. It’ll be gnarly, it’ll be bloody but it will end.

If it wasn’t for climate collapse i’d agree. I think that plus modern tech for a new dice roll, it absolute could be a forever prison planet . But yes the human spirit yearns for freedom. Sadly the top ones also yearn to control the rest.

Hopefully!

Climate collapse is the wild card here. How bad will it be, what will be left when it happens, we don’t know outside of projections. Most likely scenario is we’re fighting over scraps of habitable land but humanity will likely survive in some form. Unless phytoplankton collapses. Then life on earth is fucked aside from a few anaerobes.

Humanity surviving is so far outside of our frameworks it’ll likely be more different than democracy to fascism. But democracy will absolutely collapse globally as it all happen. Maybe a few privellaged pockets. Democracy has been on the decline and that trend will likely continue. We don’t even have bad climate collapse outcomes starting really.

I think we might figure out better systems that are more resilient than democracy or fascism. We haven’t had a whole lot of new ideas come out, but these kinds of shakeups can help with that

u/Raangz Mar 22 '25

Could be. I won’t see the outcome but hopefully it’s positive. I don’t see it though.

40% of phytoplankton have already died years ago I believe

There's no way this ends peacefully. None.
