r/liberationist

I'm seriously considering if an extinction event from climate change acceleration (which is basically the conservative party's entire platform at this point) will be preferable to me continuing to try to work with the lazy, disinterested & often outright adversarial liberal parties whose sole concession to my demographic is nothing more than acknowledging climate change exists (those virtues won't signal themselves!)

Interacting with liberals/leftists for the past few years has honestly destroyed whatever faith I had remaining in humanity. For too long I was under the false impression that liberals cared about anything. It turns out liberals care about something only as far as addressing it won't inconvenience their lifestyle even slightly.

When the supposed "good guys" are this useless, evil, & unwilling to make even the tiniest changes to their toxic opulent lifestyles, what is the point of even trying to preserve this? I don't want it anymore. Maybe we'll get to try again in a few million years after this new dinosaur age we're accelerating into transitions back into another ice age. Who knows how lucky it was that we even got to evolve into such a privileged position in the first place. We may very well be the last lifeforms this sophisticated to evolve on this planet during its lifetime.

Zero concessions from liberals for actions needed for the things I care about; the planet and not participating in exploitation. My vote is somehow expected though.

I'm done. Go next.

Imagine you're peacefully going about your day acquiring food for you & your family and playing with your mates and then this mentally ill animal begins violently screaming relentlessly, non-stop, for hours at a time. You would assume something is fatally wrong with it. It must be dying or is being eaten alive. That's what you are to an animal when you use power tools, blast music, mow the lawn on a tractor, etc. And the animal is fucking right. You're mentally ill. You're making the commotion of an animal in the throws of a nightmarish death for zero fucking reason. Pack your bags kids, we're getting the fuck out of here.

Or when you're taking a hike in the woods to observe wildlife; to an animal you're basically a child predator. If an animal was just loitering around your property, peeking in your windows, and had nothing better to do with its time than watch you like you're some kind of pleasure-object for its satisfaction, you'd run the fuck away too.

Have you ever noticed how in nature documentaries all the different species of animals will spontaneously organize to share the same space with each other near water and food sources? They'll pack in tighter than a headline crowd at Warped Tour and feel just as sentimental leaving. Do you know why that is? It's not because they handed a secret password to each other beforehand, or debated in 20 international conferences to excrete a peace treaty, it's because they have a real fucking purpose there and they're not raping the vibe by screaming violently with every fucking thing they do. They run from you because you're fucking mentally ill.

On behalf of all the animals who constantly take the high road and quietly move their business elsewhere: fuck you.

If you care about the planet and the innumerable life which inhabits it, or even just the future of the human race, then it would benefit you to watch this the whole way through. Most common climate change denials are given context & perspective in very clear & concise ways, and it paces naturally as a response to a conversation between two prominent deniers: Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson.
