Well since there's nothing I can do then I guess it's time to kick back and wait for the end of humanity. We had a good run.
You can and you should (and you probably already do).
Kick back and know that you're doing something, whatever it is.
Nicely said.
And even if we could do a bit more, why should we make more sacrifices, when big corporations are accountable for much of the environment's issues?
Why would a couple of fossile destroyers change their very lucrative business-model if millions of first world citizens are just as cheap, greedy and irresponsible as well? I'm pretty sure a lot of us would act very much like them, if we were put in their places. It's so easy to point fingers at the billionaires. As long as they don't change, why should I?! To be a better person, that's why! Fuck those psychopaths, stop consuming!
"live a shittier, lower quality life for no reason because you're fucked anyways" why though? An environment sounds great, but it's obviously not in the cards for us. Why purposely have a worse life? HedonismBot could teach us a thing or two tbh, if we're gonna burn the earth to a crisp anyways might as well have fun, no?
So you want to keep being destructive because more powerful people keep being destructive? Putting my pleasure above everything and everyone else doesn't make me happy, I'm not like that.
