Imagine mourning and having concern specifically for the very metastatic cancer that's killing you.

We are fucked, aren't we?

Man creates capitalism.

Capitalism creates climate crisis.

Climate crisis destroys capitalism.

Climate crisis destroys man.

Yeah so I don't think what comes next is going to feel like a silver lining.

I think this is what Musk is up to.

He's laying the groundwork to maintain power when things turn to shit. They want a feudal / authoritarian structure. You need serfs toiling away in the toxic wasteland to support the privileged few living under the dome.

Trump doesn't care because he will be dead soon.

Trump doesn’t care because he will be dead soon.

Also because he's a narcissistic asshole. Most people who will be dead soon still care about what happens to their world and the world of everyone they know after they're gone.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

i agree, but i imagine they are doing it because they know capitalism is crumbling. of course they do, if its obvious for us now it was obvious for them 30 years ago.

what makes me hopeful is that i think they are not gonna make it. we might be just fine if we manage survive the backlash.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah. I'm not so confident. The fact that Trump got elected in a free and fair election doesn't fill me with confidence.

We're sailing in to troubled times and things are looking fairly bleak, yet the people that voted for Trump are never going to acknowledge that they were wrong and that they need to re-consider their political ideologies.

I do however believe that Trump and Musk have unleashed a shit storm of biblical proportions and that they have no understanding of just how bad they've fucked up.

Capitalism on track to destroy climate, warns everyone

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 44 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Capitalism is on track to destroy capitalism even sooner.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Lol, in the end capitalism will bring social equality 💀

Guess the capitalists were filthy commies all along.

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Here is the thing about equality, everyone’s equal when they’re dead! — ~~Gavroche~~ Adam Smith

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It will not bring equality, it just reverts to might is right.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago

We never left might makes right, we just dressed it up all pretty. I was referring the the equality of extinction.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

Communism is a system where man exploits his fellow man - capitalism - it's the other way around.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 15 hours ago

I wish… doesn’t seem likely at this point.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

If only even sooner could be like, even sooner sooner. Please?

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

I think they are trying to cash out before the world checks out.

[–] TheBlueWatch@feddit.uk 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Won’t someone think of the cost of our own extinction

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Them lazy socialists will use any excuse to avoid work!

"boo hoo we're tired! We're starving! Our lungs burn when we breathe! This is a recorded message, We've gone extinct!"

No one wants to work anymore...

[–] zedigalis@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

Well if your part of the cancer, mourning that you've almost killed your host makes sense...

[–] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 17 hours ago

Not if a trade war can destroy it first!
