every day I see someone posting grimly about something bizarre which has never happened before in human history with absolute steely-eyed certainty that it will kill us all

I will be worried about the end of us all when maybe 10% of us have died in a short span.

[guy who studies the Soviet Union and understands that they did dialectical materialism to soft winter wheat until everyone starved, and then had their peak less than thirty years later] we are doomed because four guys attacked a weather radar for some reason

Even smart people are prone to imagining themselves as the protagonists of history. But I am getting tired of being told we’re fucked by people who have no intention of doing anything but saying we’re fucked while others actively work to unfuck it.

A lot of people just want the world to end so they don't have to pay off their credit card debt.

This has happened before in human history. This kind of insanity is par for the course with fascism since fascism at its core is an incoherent & self-defeating rationalization for malicious violence. Fascists would kill us all given ample enough opportunity but any other existential threat is worse.

That's mostly because you can stop fascists w/ bullets, bombs, & cages while threats like capitalism & climate change are a tad more resilient. Also, yall need to stop conflating communist leaders with fascists. The explicit, malicious anti-humanism is the defining feature of fascism.
