Things just seem so out of our control now. The status quo seems too large, too powerful, too entrenched to effectively fight and overthrow. Climate change and the real threat of human extinction should be a massive opportunity for the global left. And you know, it remains to be seen.
But I think once a critical mass of people finally wake up to this shit, it will be too little too late.

It’s now or never and not enough people give a shit, it seems.
Comrade, these are my feelings exactly. I guess my sentiment was just a reminder that we don't have to accept these things as they are, that we don't have to be gaslit into believing that this is just the natural order of things. Though I understand the resignation that our fellow humans just don't seem to / don't want to care.
I would say "organize!" but that would be hypocritical of me. But we all should. If not to say that we won the fight, but that we at least tried.
Maybe I’m just a bitter, negative person, but I think humanity will end up sacrificing everything for a few more decades of comfort/pleasure/commodities.
“The left” is in the unfortunate position of having to tell people that the party is over. That we need to drastically scale everything back. And that we can no longer live lavishly like past generations, otherwise we seal our doom.
Westerners are going to take this personally, claim the left are actually hypocrites for supporting what they will call “austerity”, and double down on their delusion. We’re going to tell them the hard truth, they will throw a temper tantrum, and end up embracing fascism.

I feel that the class struggle will finish in the common ruin of the contending classes.
