regardless of how much we make fun of them, point out their hypocrisy, etc., these people still have a say in our government. we are witnessing the beginning of the end of civilization. how long are we going to just stand here and watch the world burn?

i see the sarcasm, but now for a real question:

we are already seeing the things they warned us about years ago happening now. further unrealized warnings call for large habitat destruction. we could see large extinction events. the same people that bury their heads in the sand are the ones who stand in the way of legislating solutions to mitigate this. entire species of animals that are completely innocent could die because these ignorant people will block solutions. what do we do?

i can’t tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not but this is godawful moral advice.

“stay comfy and forget about it if you can”

do we or do we not have an obligation to be stewards of the earth? obviously the decision is a personal one. i guess i’ve decided with my post existential thoughts that we do, and that if you don’t agree with me, i don’t want you on my team. or the planet for that matter.

but those that aren’t receptive are literally the problem. american politics has been a 60/40 split with unequal representation for decades. the gears of government are locked in a bitter struggle where not enough is getting done and the problems keep piling up.

what do any of us do when logical, good faith arguments fail and the future of the world depends on convincing idiots that the sky is blue? serious question.
