I think everyone agrees.
It's now Us v Them. People need to start realizing that.
I absolutely do not agree. Will things get worse? Yes, no sugar-coating it. But every fraction of a degree matters, and defeatism gets us nowhere. There’s still plenty to be done. So either get on board with helping, or stay out of the way, rather than trying to drag the rest of us down.
Welp, while you're sitting around thinking about it, I guess everyone else has to scrap shit to live.
Good for you in being neutral.
I’m not sure how you got there from what I said
So not only is it "Us vs Them", it's "If you're not with us 100%, you're against us".
No fuck that. We're all in this together.
Tribalism ensures everyone's defeat as the world burns
Tribalism does't mean we should not fight and replace them. They will burn down the world but want you to suffer most and die first. They drove you into this for their wealth and economy.
If you don't want to fight and replace them, then keep on recycling your plastic straws while fossil-fuel companies pump trillons of CO2 cubic feets in air and their execs and your government officals pump trillions of dollars, of the same money you work and pay for, into their pockets.
Nah. Get lost.
I'm so scared how many people just keep on keeping on and have no cares.
Who is them?
billionares and super wealthy government officials and fossil-fuel execs who get paid too-much-to-say-no to burning the world with you in it
Lookup fascism.
It's anyone "they" convince you is "them".
Don't forget to check out which people use the "Us vs Them" mentality the most :)
Using it to describe the vernacular is different than employing the tactic.
Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin are all dead.
Seems it's a safe thing to describe it.
Trump is very much alive and kicking
Why is it a safe way to describe it? Just because you deem yourself on the "right side" doesn't make the mentality any less dangerous.
.......are you an insane person?
For fucking real. What exactly are you trying to justify here in this comment?
