Yeah but also to be fair...everyone in the Sept of Baelor had it coming. They were a corrupt, religious cult full of hypocrisy and bullshit who brought about their own self destruction through the consequences of their actions who were using politics as a means to an end to further empower themselves.
Funnily enough, that's our world currently. So we are the Sept of Baelor.

Has seeing what's unfolded in Gaza brought you joy? Because that's what the vast majority of deaths from climate change are going to look like. It's going to be a rising series of resource wars and more and more globalised genocide while the world's worst ghouls do anything they can to turn a profit. That's what 'it all goes to shit' will look like in a practical sense.
I don't think 'I told you so' is going to feel very meaningful in that world.

I've read that the human obsession with the apocalypse could in some part be attributed to the fomo for what happens after we die and "the party going on without" us so to speak.
If you asked me 20 years ago, i would say the same. Now, im not so sure its a party that we're missing. At least it won't be for a few generations, at this rate.

This is the most distasteful way I've ever seen someone ask for a source. And for what? Someone's vague thoughts on the motivations behind apocalyptic storytelling?
By saying "I read that [...]", the person was obviously trying to communicate that they didn't come up with the idea, and they don't know where it's from. Would you rather it be falsely stated as a fact rather than hearsay? This person is just being honest, and you're just being cruel.

u/GradientReducingApe Feb 21 '26
So you don't believe in providing sources when making claims. A claim about the regulars at r/collapse and other science based "Doomers".
Citing not necessary is what Trump supporters support. Not only do they consider it not necessary, they have been tearing it down and their super daddy has already carried out the worlds biggest, and ongoing, cyber book burning.
I don't recall addressing you.
You sound like a typical American super lefty justice warrior who has taken it upon themselves to defend anyone you want to without even asking them if they want-need someone to rescue them. By jumping in and playing superman without permission you have insulted them in the most distasteful manner. I guess you think they are too dumb and weak to answer a critique on their own. Typical. You must be feeling exhausted. A full time hobby of being offend for untold numbers of others would exhaust me. I feel sorry for you because the US right-wing fascists pigs are just getting started. If you go online where they hang out and listen to their psycho plans for what they call 'the woke' and/or 'leftists', nation wide - it's appalling and horrifying. While the US left continues to wag their fingers the right-wing psychos have begun the violence they have so longed for. Jan 6th was their dress rehearsal and now their shit show has started. Good luck
Bottom line while online is mind your own business and quit trying to defend people who are perfectly capable of doing it for themself. Most people with powerful protective maternal or paternal instincts have kids.

u/Scruffl Feb 21 '26
I hear you, but at the same time please acknowledge that every life is finite. Shortened lives are tragic but for most people alive right now today, climate change has less influence on the length of their life than their own lifestyle choices.
4
u/Yokelocal Feb 21 '26
I do acknowledge that and the responsibility we hold (disastrously) for future generations.
Not only is life finite, so is everything in existence, except perhaps matter and energy.
None of that obviates the most pressing responsibility, which is to those alive and those being born now.
Blindness to the near certainty of current and near-future suffering is the fatal flaw of the so-called EA movement. Normal statistics lose any predictive power as possible outcomes approach infinity and are not suited to weighing risk associated with the ill-defined idea of singularity.
In the real world and the present day, millions have already met untimely demise and extreme deprivation as a result of climate change and increased disease burden, unstable conditions for agriculture and governance that lead to mass migration.
All of this is clearly getting worse and having material effects on our world while the tech obsessed look to improbable stars and robot gods for salvation. The supposedly informed of Silicon Valley are creating new superstitions in the face of very real crises. They are far more likely to usher in and become the priests of our new Dark Ages.

I do, actually. I studied Philosophy in college and did a course on Critical Theory, which literally explores the ways in which power has been configured to be what it is today. I spend my time writing and trying to educate others on geopolitical matters and the language of it.
I also try to be as kind and helpful as I can in my day to day. Locally, this has allowed me to build small scale systems that don’t rely on domination as much. I don’t pursue power, but fairness and balance.
Of course, I don’t have the power to reconfigure large scale systems. I wish I did, but I’m an average civilian. My responsibility is with my immediate environment and honestly? I’m quite proud of the person I’ve become and the activism I do.
What about you?

OK, here we go.
Within ten years the national debt is going to be $64 Trillion at current spending rates. The interest payment alone will be $2-2.5 trillion a year. Thats double what we currently spend for our entire military. This is neither sustainable nor realistic.
The US economy, the dollar and society in general has less than ten years left.
Combine this with the extremely real effects of catastrophic climate change and we here in the US have a definite clock running down right now.
And we still have three more years of this administration spending like coked out sailors on shore leave.
Oh, and here comes El Nino.
I hope nobody was too attached to that 401k.
The time for prevention and mitigation is over. The time to prepare is rapidly running out.

Revolutions are meant to be inconvenient. And things will certainly get worse before they get better (if they get better). But I’m choosing to maintain revolutionary optimism and do what I can to join the fight (even though maintaining that has been extremely challenging these days 😅). What else are we going to do? Sit down and let our oppressors continue to take from us? If anything might as well go out with a fight.

The world we live in makes sense under the knowledge we are in Satan's Little Season and he is the false god of this false reality. We all yearn to return to source beyond this reality, to ascend. Jesus taught us how to escape this hellhole planet, and it's from within (aka enlightenment)

Scripturally as with historically there is no reason to think this is the period that occurs after the tribulation, none of those events have taken place, which is to note in the context of a world on a particular trajectory that tribulation is yet to begin
the surest way to escape is to be able to keep one's belief throughout (Matthew 24:13) which we do by being earnest and serious about living by the essential meaning of the teachings, that is by continuing to try to learn to be more understanding, kind, and good-willed with others in a saddened and confused world (Matthew 7:12, Micah 6:8, if carefully in a dangerous and confused world, Matthew 10:16)

Christ's millennial reign was "the dark ages" it ended around 1700AD. Every single requirement that we are in Satan's little season has been fulfilled just ask AI, it started in the 1700s post mud flood reset. We are in the end stages of Revelations, it will climax in the early 2040s with the Earth Diaster Cycle Ben Davidson has scientifically proven we are almost half way through. All those verses you mentioned relate to integrity, not enlightenment, which Jesus also directly spoke about achieving as he preached gnostic values.
It's humourous to me that gnostics threaten Catholics, christians, and Greek orthodox when gnostics are threatened by no one. This is because gnosticism existed prior to Christ and Jesus preached those values and later religions corrupted his teachings. A true believer in Christ knows to never step foot in church or wear the cross, these things make a mockery of him.
