all we need to do is quite worshiping the automobile, and reduce our fertility across the board till our population level gets back down to something sustainable.
just because its too late to avoid ecopocalypse entirely, doesn't mean its to late to salvage something of the species.

a few other odds and ends like collecting and storing incident energy instead of burning things to produce it, not chopping or burning down all the trees,
stuff like that. the point is, these are all things we can do, and the technologies already exist to replace the idiotic and wasteful way were doing things,
and still have all of the pleasures we get out of doing them.

its really not even rocket science to get worshiping little green pieces of paper out of the way, and do instead what's logical and makes sense.
or we can just let nature take its course, which might be the extinction of species human. but if that's what we want, you know,
i'd rather not have to listen to thoughtlessly aggressive fascist idiots whining about it,
when a culture of irresponsibility turns around and bites itself on the ass.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"

Accept Jesus and propose indigenism. America led by (indigenous) Americans, whites ruling Denmark, etc. Environmental crime is punishable by death, and their assets absorbed by the treasury, thus softening tax rates.
Signatures are the obnoxious car bumper stickers of the internet. Also, Rojava did nothing right.

Well, my last girlfriend destroyed all the trust I have in anybody, nothing in college interests me, the only way to get a high paying job around here is to go to college, almost everyone I used to associate with is dead or moved away, and I have no idea how to get out of this predicament

That is more an individual (I'd say late teen, early adulthood crisis) than a global crisis and those may happen or be avoided independently of the greater picture.

Go to trade school and physically go where the work is, the rest will sort itself out in time.

Pretty damned simple honestly, the only thing holding you back here is you.

Good ideas don't get you women, money or a future around these parts. Out here, there's just the law of the West

Shit, I may as well just become a drag racer. I drive like a stunt artist and like to speed, and this is the kind of thing women in "the D" like. Already been doing it, just gotta let everyone know next time before I do it

Also you're all gonna learn fairly fast that it's difficult to separate when I'm joking from when I'm being serious. Half the things I say are for humorous effect and the other half is my actual beliefs. Make what you will of it.

Trade school isn't answer to everything, tbh, it takes a lot of work and effort, the labor for most jobs is oftentimes backbreaking and disabling, and if you're not in a compulsory union state then your pay is shit.

I think you're overexaggerating, trade school is the place you can go to become a nurse, graphic designer, plumber, etc. Lots of varied jobs (some of which pay really well) that aren't backbreaking or necessarily tradie-tier.

Although, you're American so it might be different there.

No. Smiling is a powerful thing, helping your loved ones feels pretty nice, and knowing you have a potential to become an virtous, beautiful and excellent person and working towards it (even if you're just starting) also feels great.
Really, what's the point of just giving up when there's some things to live and fight for?.

I think you're overexaggerating, trade school is the place you can go to become a nurse, graphic designer, plumber, etc. 2. Lots of varied jobs (some of which pay really well) that aren't backbreaking or necessarily tradie-tier.

Although, you're American so it might be different there.

1. Uh, no, those are for community and regular colleges. Trade school would only train you to become a plumber, the other 2 require college degrees. (You can learn plumbing from community colleges to, mine offered it as a course)
2. The only trade job that isn't backbreaking that I can think of is electrical work, which can still be super fucking dangerous.

As a former journeyman electrician, electrical work is also back breaking. The thing is, back breaking work has to be done by someone and must be done by someone.

You don't need a college degree to become a nurse. I think you ought to lookup trade schools in America, because you have a very narrow understanding of them.

Look up trade school courses, and you'll see that you're talking out of your ass.

It also generally pays really well. If you want to earn a solid paycheck, stop being lazy and put the time and effort into it.

Welders, Heavy Equipment Operators, Pavers, Truckers, ect ect all make good money and don't require a college degree to get in. You just have to be willing to put in the personal effort.
