    Lmao, this [as in your initial comment] isn’t my fight because I’m not going around telling people I’m going to kill the billionaires with my badass drone skills. That was you, buddy.

    This [climate collapse, resource depletion, billionaires, capitalism, etc] also isn’t my fight because I’m not interested in larping at being a physics defying wizard capable of rewriting reality.

    I’m not rich or ‘owning class’ either, and I wasn’t yelling at you. I was mocking you.

    What do you actually know about climate collapse and resource depletion? If you’d care to actually learn something about the state of the world we live in, you might understand why I’m such a pessamistic misanthrope.

    Did you know that 90% of earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050? That’s what all the food grows in btw. Without arable land, there is no way to feed 8+ billion people.

    Did you know that global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030? Our planet will be 40% over capacity on fresh water resources globally by 2030. Without fresh water, we can’t grow food and hydrate 8+ billion people.

    Did you know that our global human population has surpassed Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity?

    Did you know that global carbon emissions are still rising?

    Did you know that the latest CFSv2 model runs now show the Nino 3.4 SST anomaly forecast peaking at 4.10°C in November.

    Do you know what a blue ocean event is? Do you want to follow along with daily updates on the arctic sea ice extent?

    Did you know that June 2026 came in as the second warmest on record since 1940 at 1.39°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, second only to 2024 at 1.50°C above the baseline?

    Did you know that the world is likely to exceed a key global warming target soon. But can you guess what these guys aren’t measuring that will impact this massively?

    The answer is a nice call back to the Blue Ocean Event you hopefully just learned about, because did you know that 4.5c above the baseline by 2060 is possible?

    Would you like me to go on? There is so much more we haven’t even touched upon yet, but this post is long enough as it is.
