War, Deglobalization, Climate Change, Resource scarcity, Economic bubbles.

What the fuck are you on about, the world is olympic diving into the garbage heap.

Edit: If you downvote, please have the decency to explain your reasoning. Are you saying this opinion is incorrect? Why? It is to my understanding a race against time, when concerning climate change alone. One we are losing. Do you just dislike hearing about it?




As if none of that existed in the past?


Are you of a differing opinion? If so, I am desperate for some hope.



Many of the issues that seem like doom and gloom will be solved, through human ingenuity and perseverance. Getting all bent out of shape and depressed is not the answer as the truth is that all those things aren’t nearly as bad as many are making them out to be. Your understanding of climate change is severely limited, and yes your opinion is thoroughly unfounded when you look at the full picture.

The current wars are barely a blip compared to wars in years past.

Deglobalization at the scale it’s happening is a good thing so I’m not sure why you’re upset about it. The scale at which we were doing it was unsustainable and was causing more harm than good in the more recent past.

Resource scarcity is something people like to cry wolf about but never actually comes to pass.

Economic bubbles have existed for millennia and aren’t new or that scary.
