    We have been trying to make a better world since we evolved into humans and yet we’re still like this.
    If anything we’ve gotten worse as technological advancements have increased and that made enslaving, colonising, genociding, wars, mass murders and all the other horrible shit people do to each other, easier; maximising the suffering caused.

    Telling people to kill themselves for being upset with the status quo, because you’re trying to make the world “better”, is hilarious.

      We’ve only been globally connected to each other for ~50 years. We’ve made huge strides in quality of life and liberty for a large portion of the world, and this trend is still continuing. We even fucking have people coming together from across the world and living in space together in harmony, but nooo we’ve not gotten it completely perfectly yet so we should all be wiped out!

      And I find it fucking hilarious you have to the gall to complain about being asked to lead by example when you literally wish for the genocide of our entire species. If you want to doom and gloom yourself go for it, but don’t drag us into your shitpit.

        I’m not wishing for it, it’s happening. Humans are polluting themselves into extinction by choice.

        And all these wars are only going to increase as climate refugees try to migrate and we run out of resources. By 2030 we’re going to be 40% over capacity globally on fresh water.
