DUE TO THE SHEER VOLUME OF SMUG, CYNICAL, SELF-CONGRATULATORY YET STILL SOMEHOW HOPELESS AND NIHILISTIC COMMENTS HERE, LET ME SAY THIS IN A LANGUAGE YOU GORMLESS DOOMERS CAN UNDERSTAND:

1. PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY GOOD.
2. PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY LAZY.
3. A SMALL NUMBER OF EVIL BUT INDUSTRIOUS OPPORTUNISTS HAVE SEIZED CONTROL OF THE MECHANISMS THAT DISTRIBUTE WEALTH, POWER, AND INFORMATION IN SOCIETY. REPUBLICANS, THE OIL INDUSTRY, EVANGELICALS, SOCIAL MEDIAITES, BILLIONAIRES, ETC.
4. THESE EVIL PEOPLE ARE KILLING THE PLANET.
5. THE EVIL PEOPLE CAN BE STOPPED.
6. THE EVIL PEOPLE SHOULD BE STOPPED.
7. THE PLANET CAN BE SAVED.
8. THE PLANET SHOULD BE SAVED.
9. HUMANS DO NOT DESERVE TO ALL DIE. NOT UNTIL MY BOYS GET HERE, THEY DON'T.
10. BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SAVE JUST SOME OF EARTH, THE PEOPLE WHO YOU AGREE WITH AND LIKE DESERVE TO HAVE A PLANET WORTH LIVING ON *EVEN IF THAT MEANS THAT BAD PEOPLE GET TO LIVE HERE, TOO*.

I REJECT THE FATALISTIC NOTION THAT WE DESERVE OUR SHITTY SITUATION. OUR SHITTY SITUATION HAS BEEN FOISTED ON US BY DEATH CULTISTS AND WAR PROFITEERS AND SUSTAINED BY INERTIA AND STRONG NORMS AGAINST DISMEMBERING THE RICH AND BOILING THEIR BONES INTO STOCK. WE DON'T ALL DESERVE TO DIE. IT IS LITERALLY WITHIN OUR POWER TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. IF YOU THINK WE DON'T DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS, WHAT'S THE POINT IN BEING ALIVE?
