[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

    The idea is highly contingent on enough people agreeing. Like any system will disappear in a second if 100% of the people agree that it should. The problem with fascist states is they tend to be dictatorships and use a lot of force which is really efficient in controlling people, which is also why every military is structured that way. You need only like 10% of the population and enough force vs this concept where you need nearly everyone.

      And because we have millions of people there’s no way to get enough people to agree to do anything meaningful.

      We are doomed and will go extinct.

      Perhaps a wiser species will marvel at the thin smear of radioactive material and toxic petrochemicals and mass extinction that marks our passing.

          What if the propaganda is looking at human behavior and realizing we’re too stupid to live

            I think you’re bordering extremely close to eco fascism and need to do some self reflection on what you actually value. Are you a fascist?

            Ecofascism, sometimes spelled eco-fascism,[1] is a term used to describe individuals and groups which combine environmentalism with fascism.[2]

            Ecofascism is “environmentalism through genocide”

              I don’t advocate for genocide to save the planet. The planet will do that quite nicely on its own. Plus I think humans will screw it up like everything else.

                While you’re wining like a little bitch some of us are fighting. Some of us have people who care about that we don’t want to suffer.

                Get back to us when you’re ready to do more that piss and moan about how we are all fucked. Until then get the fuck out of the way.

        The sun will run out of fuel and grow to be a red giant and vaporize the earth before dying one day. The last star will go dark one day. The last black hole will evaporate one day. Nothing is forever, enjoy the ride while you’re around.
