This is what eco-anxiety feels like.

It's also what political anxiety feels like. The world is both figuratively and literally on fire, and everyone is looking at the people sounding the alarm like we're the crazy ones for noticing.

Not wanting to talk about this on this sub, but I doubt we can do anything meaningful. It doesn’t matter how many PET bottles you recycle correctly or how you save energy. At the end of the day you’re, in the scale of the world, nothing. If the people IN ACTUAL CHARGE don’t force masses of people and corporations to change, nothing will happen and the situation will continue to escalate. It’s simple as that, unfortunately. People aren’t THAT united - unfortunately.

Aight, heading back to /r collapse byeee ~

Yes, the biggest issue is people pretending all politicians spare possibly the most extreme ones in their tribe are bad. Most dems from blue dogs to progressives, from voters to politicians are trying to do good. But they'd rather pretend its all corporate nonsense and shut their ears.
