That isn't going to change the fact that the US is becoming a fascist state and the rest of the world will follow, but you can get a day of blissful unawareness.
The key is to learn to accept our inevitable doom. It gets easier if you design yourself to it and just go play video games or something to pass the time.
While big imperialist superpowers are quick to kill innocent civilians and sacrifice their own soldiers, the fear of their own death is enough deterrence to make them not use nukes.
Well weed can give you panic attacks so maybe it's time for a break on that in the first place, but a straight answer to your question is yes, we're fucked.
With this winter that has just passed, we are into Original Prediction territory - the original Shell (i think they worked for Shell?) engineers who discovered that CO2 was a greenhouse gas and did the math to predict the effects - this winter puts us back in line with that work. Every single prediction that has been made since has been watered down, dumbed down and spaced out. The original catastrophe predicted by those engineers is coming true right now.
Don't listen to these hippies saying erry li'l ting gon be awright, they simply haven't been paying attention and are a big part of the reason why nothing has been done about it in the first place, and there's nothing left to do but point fingers anyway. Barbarism and fire are coming; their heads are too far up their asses to see the shit that's about to mess up their diligently coifed hair.

It's not if society is going to fall, that's going to happen regardless of what you do, it's if you personally are going to survive the fallout.
I've stopped caring really, humanity can go extinct. We don't deserve this world. It will be a much better place when it's just deers and wolves frolicking about.
If you really look around things are way better than they ever have been, like hugely better in practically every metric.
It's OK to enjoy life
@lemmylem@lemm.ee dude we are so fucked. We are heading to a dystopian cyberpunk fascist future, so we are fucking up the planet and we fuck ourselves that way
