Yes, but out of these disasters people still remain, and these people are left to pick up the pieces or start anew. Whether or not there will even be a humanity to progress through 100 years from now is debatable but also irrelevant. If we're not organizing and treating situations like there's even a chance for rebuilding then we're only cementing our doom and forever subjugation. This applies even in the face of climate disaster and the fascist scramble that resulted from it. Any voice telling everyone that its already doomed is essentially confirming the suspicions of reactionary christians who are merely awaiting rapture. The entire point of our movement is getting people to realize that we need to act, and be an active and cooperative people if we have any chance of making it through the next couple centuries. Saying we're fucked now is just giving up. Yes, its scary and looks very bleak, but what good is defeatism of the very movements we support?
Some of the disasters no. No one is left the whole society collapses and scatters.
But yeah i agree it's best to try to stop it. But you can't expect nihilist to be the leaders of a movement today really doesn't exist right now. I think that is Matt's main point. That the left is so scattered that their is no center point to launch from.
I mean if your issue is climate change, PSL just had a webinar that was pretty informative of how serious they take the current figures.
EDIT: And yes, I know the PSL has very little sway over the overall public conversation. But that's the whole point, we have to start somewhere.
