Such is the life of the doom preacher

Eventually all the doom preacher, nay-sayers, and pessismists will get proven right by all the impending dooms. Now, I'm still self-aware enough to know how this talk about the end of the world sounds like to somebody who can't be bothered caring about this nonsense.

Climate change and peak oil seem like reasonable explanations for why this civilisation cannot exist for much longer. It drives me insane how nobody seems to actually care about the topic enough to prepare for the worst. Because that's essentially what you should do, if you actually believe in the effects of global warming and oil depletion. Take global warming for instance: There is NO way we manage the 1.5c goal in any way shape or form, the negative effects of climate change have already begun, and there is no going back. No matter which ambitious goal we'll asign ourselves, we'll fuck it up again. Even the praised climate change activists are delusional in the sense that they believe that

1. the effects of such an ecological catastrophe can still be managed somehow and we can stop it before it's too late (Protip: It's already too late and we're already fucked, climate change is not a vague notion in the future, rather than something that something that began already
2. they think civilisation will in any way survive an ecological catastrophe of such a caliber.

In this sense even the most radical climate activists are not radical enough in their beliefs, thinking there is anything they can save instead of preparing for the worst. If you're inclined to this belief (and personality-wise inclined as well) it's hard to not get frustrated. The false dichotomy of the lefty climate believer and the right-wing climate denier just feeds into this mindset that there is something we can do about it, when in reality we're impotent. The idea that this civilisation cannot last for all eternity is unbeknownst in the mainstream media as well as the mainstream Internet, so nobody actually does something. If you think about it, both sides of this false dichotomy play on the same team, because none of them actually believe the end is nigh.

I could be wrong, maybe it's all just disinformation that I've fallen victim to, in the end I'm not immune to propaganda either, hence it's important to remain humble in this matter and not be too stubborn on one position. The thing is that you get nothing for being right. If those predications outlined in this text are right, we're all fucked, and being right on this issue doesn't help much when you're fucked just like everybody else. I don't know.
