I gotta say before I got involved in activism I woulda found this relatable. But these past couple of months have been rather hopeful. Seeing everyone come together

I wish everyone came together November last year.

I’ve been hurt too many times to believe anymore.

Lev! <3 I used to watch his hand drawn video cartoons back in the early days of YouTube - absolute gems! His deadpan narration was the cherry on top

Exactly my thoughts! I haven't seen Lev since Tales of Mere Existance waaaaay back then. Really love their stiff and I'm glad to see them on Lemmy.

If you work backwards from extinction, through the collapse of the biosphere, to the fall of our civilization...

... I mean really, what kind of government would you expect to be in power to preside over that?

Our suffering, short-lived? Maybe as a species, relatively speaking. But my suffering? That will be life-long.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, seems that way...

We can adapt to climate change as a species better if each of us personally take the steps to mitigate its impact and learn to live with far less consumption than we currently do.

For example, making consumption changes and politically boycotting major corporations has been life-changing for me. I'm far less stressed about money because now that my tiny home is clutter free, I go out of my way to avoid buying stuff I don't really have a need for.

Every little effort in the right direction counts. It doesn't have to be everyone and everything.
