    Do you actually think that?

    As though we just do societal collapse on Wednesday and then start living our best lives on Thursday?

      If capitalism is allowed to continue it will render humanity extinct. If we collapse now, and are reduced to a fraction of our population this century, humanity may live.

      I don’t enjoy that being the best option we have at this point. It brings me no joy. But what brings me less joy is knowing that we won’t even make a choice. We will continue blindly waddling along and as capitalism consumes the world, we will wonder who will save us. And no one will.

        Is anyone actually claiming that we’re on a path to extinction? That’s hyperbole.

        This type of thinking is not constructive in any way.

          We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event the earth has experienced. As ecosystems collapse, organisms at the top of the food web are in peril. Yes, humans are in danger of extinction.
