>Implying global warming is human-made

There's been plenty of natural climate changes, even extreme ones. The ice ages, the early-medieval cold, etc.

Civilization's still fucked of course, but at least we aren't to blame. Well, except for the politicians screaming for less carbon emissions instead of calling for the construction of arks to preserve our knowledge for all eternity, able to withstand gigantic upheavals in temperature, water, weather, etc.

Past natural climate changes doesn't mean that the one the planet is currently undergoing is natural too.

Emissions in the scale we have been doing since decades ago can fuck the planet's balance.

That is very weak argument in contrast of things we are directly responsible for but I'm very much sure you are aware of that. Global warming is just a meme, good advertisement, that's all. While we are facing numerous ecological problems, it can't be all solved by just less carbon emissions as you pointed out. Do I support normalniggers using bikes and electric cars as means of transport? Yes of course I do, but to be honest they are not even worthy of that. I'd make them walk all the time.

Since im completely lacking professional knowledge I won't say you're wrong, but I have a hard time believing that 200 years of industrialization have no impact on the environment at all.

Shifting the blame to nature itself sounds like something the lobbyist shills would do.

>Civilization's still fucked of course, but at least we aren't to blame

have there been ancient natural plastic pollutions aswell then? wether we like it or not, but the problem is at least to a big part manmade and still nobody fucking cares besides a bunch of nice talkers who use the topic to get votes. Humans are the Steve Urkel of the animal kingdom.

I'm sort of starting to enjoy it, only if I were in the middle of it in NA. We europoors have to wait few months up to few years until shit and trends you have get here as always, and even then it doesn't have this true american flavor to it. Take me down to hell's city, where the burgers are greasy and the girls are chubby. Vaporwave niggers are sort of right, there is this melancholic beauty hidden in failed capitalism on steroids, in all this filth and scum all around, in times when you can sell even your own mother.

Yeah, any "revolt against burger world" is easily commoditized and sold back to you– they expect you to be rebellious individuals after all. Instead of just going "haha… lol" at the whole thing like a bunch of high-falutin' postmodernists, it's better to indulge in a subversive celebration of its most prole aspects. I'm talking about hardcore-normcore, BBW fetishism, and literal fast-food worship. So yeah, this is my anthem right now:

I'm trying recently more, sort of, positive apathy approach. Thanks to doing more of art in last weeks I think I found a tiny bit of myself which I thought was lost and also maybe a bit of inner peace. So I'm trying to see the world through lense of childish adult - "yeah ok, shit's fucked up but world is how it is, I don't care, it's not my concern, I have no part in it, I'm right here right now and I'm tiny piece of shit so what". I'm trying to somehow push my energy to music, creating something which will eat 100% of my focus, rather than carrying the whole weight of the world because for long time I don't even want to change anything. Maybe I had to admit to myself after all those years I'm alive that I have no clue what the fuck is going on here, I don't know who the fuck I am or what is my purpose and I don't even want to know. I want to work with what is available to me at this moment. Maybe I will move to some bigger city and let it to chew me alive, who the fuck knows, I'm transforming into something, I don't even know to what.

>>23337

It's comfy. Take your car, go to gas station, buy some bag of fucking chips and pack of marlbs, sit on a curb and eat them/smoke some cigs while sun is setting down. It's not blooming, it's just dooming in theme park where everyone else has some role except you, time is too abstract and useless concept for you; you are an alien in this world anyway, so you might as well buy some gas and drive to nowhere while your 80s soundtrack is playing. Not thinking anymore, no big feelings anymore, fear became pointless, you became careless, you are free.

let me explain why

>humans are cave animals

>live not paycheck to paycheck like today, they live day to day

>one day, humans invent technology, agriculture, science

>where there was no food beforehand without roaming animals, suddenly there are patato fields and wheat plantations

>population explodes because why not, food is abundant lol

>humans can afford more children

>breed like rabbits or like a virus

>a few years later, humans take it to the next step

>now machines do the labour that formerly did 100 people

>and they do it in a quarter of the time with 100% accuracy and no errors

>production of everything goes up

>price of things that machines shit out goes down

>but now humans not only want food, they all want the latest smartphone every year

>and a plasma tv, game console and home cinema

>and they want to eat meat every day

>population now reaching 8 billion and only going up

>eventually, after years of overusing fertillizer, soil will be void of any minerals for plants

>ressources in metal mines will be exhausted

>fossil fuel will be burnt up

>humans keep inventing technology to put them like a band aid on deep wounds they create to the planet

The only thing that could save the planet is unironically the mass genocide of 7.5billion humans and the forced sterilization of another 300 million (slave class). Science and technology is nice and dandy but you cannot abuse it like we do. We are creating problems that we invend new technology to solve. But without us, the problem would not exist at all in the first place. This is why I am looking forward to WW3. Radiation will do us a favor.

More like a thousand chimpanzees with typewriters, all dressed like Andy Warhol and force fed a diet of nothing but burger.

>The genre's backdrop explores the conflict between traditional american sensibilities inflated to a caricature by exaggerated use of freeway systems, suburban growth, and franchise based food products against the cynical nature of the average american blooming into a genuine need for individualized and personalized culture after slowly exchanging their ancestor's cultural heritage for their own force-fed culture of ease of access and frugality. Issues of hopelessness, automation, and complacency contrast the information provided through constant access to media and propagandized geopolitical news.

>collapse porn

This shit was really fucking popular in the mid 2000s, it fucked me up back then and in hindsight made me abandon things I shoulda done then but didnt because "peak oil is in 2007 and the world is gonna end". Because of that my life turned to shit and now I'm a doomer.

I see this shit from a channel where the only video is this 2yo clip show and tbh shit dont faze me, because what if its wrong and I waste more of my life obsessing over it? and if its right then at this point why do I care? I'm already fucked myself so burn this bitch planet, let the normalfags eat their shit.

And then I see stuff being done on tech that you wouldn't believe: hardened plankton and bees that can handle anything, food printers, artificial beef better than the real thing, quantum solar cells that can be sprayed on like paint, fusion energy that isn't a pipedream, methane rocket engines, cheap satellite internet, machine learning on a level that dwarfs scifi, 3D printers that can make a house now and entire buildings in a few years, arcologies, ceramic batteries, etc

And even if all of this shit fails humanity wont go extinct, we had similar stuff happen before like the younger dryas and the 4.2 kiloyear event, both fucking catastrophes and yet humans back then were able to survive. Some fuckers are going to survive all the shit to (maybe) come and will rebuild having far more to go around than we did. 1000 years later humanity is back at current levels, maybe in less time. Every collapse in history gets a shorter dark age after it.

Me? I just hope I'm still around when matrix-like VR becomes real so that I can have the life I never did as a doomer. Maybe we'll all end up like this because having a human (or just the brain) in a jar is more efficient resource-wise.

>>23341

You could eliminate 94% of all resource consumption by just nuking the richest 1/3 of the world which is basically any place (and person) with a standard of living above that of rural china. The other 2/3rds of the world aren't doing shit, but also aren't consuming shit either, they are super efficient because they cant afford anything and live with the bare minimum. If you kill those 2/3rds nothing fucking changes except that now you have almost 4 billion corpses you have to bury to avoid spreading disease.

Yeah, I highly doubt that. It'll likely be a neo-feudal hellhole for centuries to come, like A Canticle for Liebowitz in real life. Sure, people will survive, but they damn sure won't be restoring the status quo that made you a doomer in the first place.

Very good watch even though I already knew most of the stuff from listening to James Howard Kunstler - who I strongly recommend. He talks about how the car and highway system + contemporary standards for architecture absolutely annihilated American civic life. He also wrote a series of fiction books about the Americans living soon after the oil runs out and we become neo-medieval. It sounds cool except for the fact that I will be in my 40s or 50s by the time it happens so it isn't a nearby end to my pain.

I feel completely void. I tried religion - couldn't sustainably force myself to believe it. I tried getting into wacky conspiracies - (all the fun ones likes UFOs lead to nothing). I even tried paranormal /x/ type shit - good fiction but just that. Right now as I sit here I can't think of a single thing I could do that could raise my dopamine level or get me interested and feeling like I have a purpose. I can't even think of anyway I would like to cope. I don't even want to get drunk or smoke or research retarded shit or listen to music or watch a movie or exercise or take a bath or eat greasy fast food or drink sugary soda or do drugs. There is nothing that I can think of that I want to do. It has been this way for about 2 months(before I felt sad, now I feel nothing).

Tell me anons, what is this? Is this purgatory? Can anyone relate this feels like shit.

Robert Putnam goes into some of it too: nearly universally adoption of tech has destroyed interpersonal connections starting with television, and then just escalating more and more from there.

I feel the same. The only thing that brings me joy is potential collapse of civilisation andthe science around it. Videogames lost their charm and I only force myself through games which are part of a series which I used to be a fan of, but even those are stale now.

I also used to be into /x/-related stuff, but realistically its all just pretty fairy tales.

>nearly universally adoption of tech has destroyed interpersonal connections

I believe that in a second and I think this is also the main reason mental illnesses are on the rise.Chatting on imageboards or facebook or whatever is just a poor excuse for face to face communication as, cognitively seen, there a completely different mechanisms at work. Everyone has a phone nowadays that provides exactly that kind of low quality stimulation. Its a pretentious thing to say, but we really live in a world of zombies now.

There's this documentary called "Century of the Self" which goes into good detail of how we got here. It's 4 hours long, but good material nonetheless

>Can anyone relate this feels like shit.

I certainly can, anon! I'm just like you - been so for years, even before I officially got into the whole 'doomer' concept.

>He talks about how the car and highway system + contemporary standards for architecture absolutely annihilated American civic life.

I agree entirely, but I think this is a general Western problem moreso than a uniquely American one.

>He also wrote a series of fiction books about the Americans living soon after the oil runs out and we become neo-medieval.

I think it'd be more of a hodge podge of shit, not just neo-medieval, were it to happen in real life.

>I'm so fucking bored

Same. I can just barely even get out of bed in the morning.

>used to laugh at my own pain

Same, but nowadays I'm so apathetic, I don't even feel much of doing anything, let alone laugh.

>used to be content playing vidya and listening to youtube

As someone who preferred books over vidya, I can still say I can relate to this as I do play vidya now and then, mainly all older or 'old school' games, but I feel like I wouldn't even have any interest in vidya period had I not grown up with them in some capacity, and while I don't mind firing up an old favorite for the sentimental value, it gets pretty fucking boring playing the same shit over and over, but there's nothing on the horizon I give a shit about, and the industry's a lost cause anyway due to their greed and just pathetic attention to quality, whether AAA or indie (which I feel is overrated as fuck).

As for YouTube, it's always been a background music player to me - any channel I would listen to in the past is either gone or hasn't uploaded in ages. I wouldn't miss it if it just vanished one day.

>used to think I had a future even though I didn't know what it was

Even before I got into the whole doomer thing, I knew I wouldn't have one, so I can't relate to this one.

>now I've even lost my naivety

I lost mine the moment my mother told me she wished she had aborted me.

>can't play vidya anymore, every game is boring and the same

I can play vidya, but it's usually just to fill time rather than any actual enjoyment.

>youtube is always the same shit

Agreed. I've tried watching random videos here and there but the THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY shit just turns me off right quick.

>zero energy

Same.

>barely get through each day as a wageslave

If it wasn't for my cool co-workers, I'd probably relate to this more.

>the only thing that excites me is the possibility of a market crash, natural disaster, pandemic etc. ending civilization

For me, I wouldn't say it excites me, but rather that it'd give me an excuse to CTB or some shit, I don't know. I mean, I've told myself many times that were SHTF, I'm outta here. Preferably after sending my cat somewhere nice, if I could. My cat is my only friend lol.

>I feel completely void. I tried religion - couldn't sustainably force myself to believe it.

I did too, but none of the religions I looked into really clicked with me. I'll freely admit I'm skeptical of the whole idea of God, religion, etc, but I'm no fedora-tipping jackass. I just don't feel like any of them really explain shit, y'know? If any anons want to recommend some shit, though, please do. A lot of my doomer anxiety stems from, quite frankly, being horrified at the shit that happens to people. Ever read up on Grace Budd? Shit blackpilled me long before I even knew of the whole pill concept.

>I tried getting into wacky conspiracies - (all the fun ones likes UFOs lead to nothing).

A lot of them are just glorified coping mechanisms, really.

>I even tried paranormal /x/ type shit - good fiction but just that.

Can't relate to this one as it never interested me.

(Cont….)

Same here. Shit, I only even bother commenting on here because it fills time, not because I actually enjoy it.

>I can't even think of anyway I would like to cope.

For me, I just do a lot of living in my head. I've had voices in my head for ages, and I've turned them into actual people, so to speak. One voice is the cool uncle I never had, another's the crazy but based aunt, and so on. I've ended up creating false memories, imagining that I did shit in my childhood with said "relatives" that I've never actually done. When I go out and make small talk with people, I tell them a bunch of bullshit - volunteered the other day just to keep myself busy and I made up siblings on the spot and a funny (the person I worked with seemed to think it was) story on the spot. It's probably not a very healthy thing to do, but it's helped, especially when I was in school and all the other kids talked about how cool their parents were while mine were total fucking deadbeats.

>hey, anon, my parents took me to (insert Caribbean country here). How about yours?

>We went to the all you can eat buffet because Mom was too lazy to cook and Dad gives no fucks.

>You suck, anon.

>I know.

I was never bullied as a child, though - I was always ignored unless kids needed answers to some such test or whatever. I was the kid who'd make friends only to have them drop me because my mom was so paranoid that they'd steal shit or laugh at her and my dad, who used to tell her to fuck off and let me have friends over, stopped caring after a while. I was probably, AFAIK, the only kid I knew who wanted his parents to get a divorce, but then I thought I'd be fucked either way: do I go with the paranoid mother whose every other word was regreting that she wasted her life having me and marrying my dad or the diabetic dad who couldn't keep a job to save his life yet whined about how he couldn't pay for his diabetes medication because he had no money?

>I don't even want to get drunk or smoke or research retarded shit or listen to music or watch a movie or exercise or take a bath or eat greasy fast food or drink sugary soda or do drugs. There is nothing that I can think of that I want to do. It has been this way for about 2 months(before I felt sad, now I feel nothing).

Same here. I'd rather just sleep most of the day and stay up writing in my journal the whole night.

>Tell me anons, what is this? Is this purgatory? Can anyone relate this feels like shit.

I don't know if I even want to know at this point.

>Robert Putnam goes into some of it too: nearly universally adoption of tech has destroyed interpersonal connections starting with television, and then just escalating more and more from there.

I personally think it all starts with the atom bomb on Hiroshima: from that one day, I think the world sealed its fate and we're just biding our time, especially after 9/11 singlehandedly killed Western civilization - think about it, you can easily define the West before and after that one day.

That used to be me, but now I'm like:

>why did I have to be born just in time for it?

I was born and lived during one of those "golden ages" a lot of YT commenters praise due to their le wrong generation complex, but I sometimes wish I was born even way earlier. I used to argue that I'd rather have dial-up and good times than wi-fi and bad times, but a bit of me wouldn't mind living in the 1800s or some shit if only because then I wouldn't have to worry about all this bullshit, y'know? I could read Thackeray, Zola, Dostoevsky, etc hot off the presses instead of hearing about Trump this, SJWs that and whatever.

>Videogames lost their charm and I only force myself through games which are part of a series which I used to be a fan of, but even those are stale now.

I know that feeling - I've recently been playing Saints Row 2, but all I can think about while playing it is how horrible those games got afterwards. Literally every franchise (not just in gaming either) I've ever had an interest in went down in flames, and while I still can play old favorites like SR2, I find them incredibly stale. I want something fucking NEW for a change, y'know?

I haven't even watched a movie in years, not a single one. Can't even watch the old favorites in my collection because I've seen them so many times, it's not fun anymore. Books? Same thing. Music? Same thing.

>I believe that in a second and I think this is also the main reason mental illnesses are on the rise.Chatting on imageboards or facebook or whatever is just a poor excuse for face to face communication as, cognitively seen, there a completely different mechanisms at work.

I don't know how anyone else sees it, but I think a whole lot of the hysteria around certain sites also doesn't help. Like, take Kiwi Farms for example - it's practically Guru Gossip for dudes, but they have this superiority complex about them, as if they think they're defenders of freeze peach because they string together a couple niggers with a couple faggots and pick at low hanging fruit like some lardass mukbanger or somehow still think Chris Chan is topical. Lolcow.farm is just this shit on steroids. If I wanted cringy femcels, I'd go read a YA novel since femcels gentrified that genre long ago. Imageboards as a whole are a dead medium anyway - literally every board I've lurked on is just full of boring, mundane, obvious bullshit (yeah, I'm totally married with a wife and kids, guys, honest!) and then they sit there and act like they're better than Reddit/Facebook/etc - no you're not, you're the EXACT SAME SHIT! I'm at the point now where I could honestly say I wouldn't miss the internet if it disappeared one day - all I ever do on it is listen to music on YouTube and read random Wikipedia articles anyway.

>Everyone has a phone nowadays that provides exactly that kind of low quality stimulation. Its a pretentious thing to say, but we really live in a world of zombies now.

It's not pretentious, but I wouldn't say we live in one now either. We've always lived in such a world - it's just that today's tech makes it so much more clearer. It's just another rendition of the eternal cycle of history. Boom, decline, stagnant, bust, over and over again. Social media and the like is to us what bread and circuses were to the Roman poets.

>There's this documentary called "Century of the Self" which goes into good detail of how we got here. It's 4 hours long, but good material nonetheless

Agreed, but the problem is that it destroys so many narratives on both sides that it's criminally underrated.

>Where I live if I walk at night I'll get stabbed or worse, not an option

Same here, and it's only getting worse as the economy keeps going into the shitter. We've got young people who can't even get a first job because too many old fucks feel the need to take any openings they can get, conveniently after spitting out five kids or whatever. E-classifieds in my area are FULL of single moms with 2+ kids begging for shit in between all the forever alone dudes trying to get laid. It's to the point a lot of us don't even bother trying to buy and sell shit anymore.

You can't even volunteer anymore without needing to submit a urine and blood test to the point it's like why I am filling out all this paperwork just to give the homeless guy down the street a sandwich and five minutes or so of small talk when I could just fill it out for, y'know, applying to an actual job? A coworker of mine told me he had tried volunteering only to just say fuck it and stay home due to shit like that.

Forgot to add, but it's young people who can't even get a first job vs young people fresh out of high school vs boomers vs foreign workers who will work for scraps just because they're happy to be here. All this in a locale where sex crimes and stabbings are more and more commonplace year in, year out, and all the local authority can do is just go

<why everything collapse

>ledditors write 100 line texts of wall that nobody will ever read

I give you the short version okay

economy will collapse because it is dependent on:

>A) cheap energy sources to prostitute with little to no input costs

>B) an ever-increasing amount of consumers to buy consumerist crap

both of these are in decline
