climate scientists have already lit themselves on fire trying to warn people and it didn’t actually do anything

people are too religious to believe in science

People are setting themselves on fire, throwing food at famous art or stopping traffic because it feels like a bad dream where you see the disaster coming and you're trying to shake people to get them to understand that we have to DO something, and they just stare straight ahead like zombies.

These are people who are scared and frustrated because we've tried EVERYTHING and nobody actually cares. When I tried to impart this message on reddit, people were like "I get it but why can't they just promote recycling or protest peacefully?" and then a 50-comment deep thread about whether or not the liquid soup can work its way through the screws on the plating that covers the artwork and what kind of lasting damage it might do.

Meanwhile, our destruction is literally around the corner. I don't get it.

We deserve what's coming.
