The Sadness of the See'er

there is a certain sadness
in the eyes of those who see

the fear and growing madness
of knowing what will be

they look around and see the world
for what it is and will become

they dread the fate of little girls
and mourn for every son

You are awesome

It's the worldview of modernity that is brutal and transactional, not nature.

I suggest reading Robin Wall Kimmerer and reevaluating your conclusions.

It's as if the end of "civilization as we know it" is the worst possible thing someone can imagine instead of the first step in planetary healing.

The president is releasing snuff films of himself dropping shit bombs on us

Ya see the colonizers wanted to take over the entire continent from the natives and the King wouldn't let them go past the Appalachian mountains.

Perhaps but there's no doubt that all life will be consumed if the machine is allowed to continue

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

Why not give them what they want? Let them raise premiums and face the consequences

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

What is the lesson?

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

Nobody's Girl is gonna drop a bomb

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

Stand your ground against oppression

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

Of course

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

Do you foresee the machine slowly grinding to a halt as life fades away?

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

A global war which destroys our electrical infrastructure would be a net positive for nature (assuming all the nuclear plants don't melt down)

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 2d

The very first attack had survivors until they dropped a second bomb to kill them too

There were no contraceptives in mouse utopia or James Island

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 3d

Yes but, using technology to stop natural mechanisms is why we are in our predicament in the first place

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 3d

Don't you think contraception is a form of supremacy? Who are we to circumvent what our biology demands?

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 3d

It is unfortunate that many people think a blue-coded supremacy will be better for them.

All forms of supremacy extract wealth.

All forms of supremacization will collapse eventually, avoid the rush.

Interesting. Personally I would consider myself a pro-choice pro-natalist i.e. supporting those who choose to have children and those who do not.

I am explicitly not an extinctionist. Humans should enter into the struggle to thrive, not shy away from it.

Plus fucking is fun and natural.

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 3d

Even though civilization is inherently unsustainable and dominance hierarchies will continually emerge through collapse, ending the global industrial machine which is killing this planet must be the number one goal.

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 4d

A question which should be decided amongst Doomers is "What is our goal?"

Is it simply waking people up to Our Predicament? Awakening and acceptance?

Should we push for collective action? Or Individual adaptation?

How far back should we turn back the clock? How much of modernity should be saved?

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 4d

IMHO climate doomer is a misnomer. It's this modern techno-industrial supremacization that's doomed, not the Earth.

OurPredicament @ourpredicament.com · 4d

It sticks around because it resonates with our personal experience

It's fine so long as they're in the golden toilet room
