there was a long bit about having children now and how selfish you have to be to have them now.
some argued against that, kinda, but everyone agreed it’s lmao for the kids in 20 years.


then Rime posted a pretty standard dark joke, and a mod who probably has kids decided to ban Rime because he either can’t read, has been waiting to for a while and wanted an excuse to. he hid like a coward for a day in the Glenn thread, I called him out, (and dragged some of them here, my bad) he came back and blamed it on rime being a racist poster, even though his reason for banning him was for a joke about nuking the USA to give the rest of the world a fighting chance, which he mis read, tried to bring it back to be about Rime racism posts in the past, somewhat was able to deflect. the Glenn thread is very smug we’re the crazy ones who don’t do anything and are defending a racist because we’re actually very standard d&d liberals while not posting about anything? oh and posting cat pictures and telling usually one or two person per page to shut the gently caress up.

(even saw a classic maybe if they did something instead of posting they could actually help fix things.) type post.

Oh ok, boring poo poo, nothing of value was lost.

Also the windmills are being used to power a gas plant in west Texas or to mine bitcoin

Maybe one day westerners will wake up and realize you cannot negotiate with China in good faith, you cannot "democratize" it by being nice to it, and that our downfall is going to stem from failing to firewall it like North Korea when we had the chance - before a Chinese-American scientist defected to build their nuclear program. The past century has demonstrated succinctly that the singular goal in that nation is the global domination of the Han cultural identity by any means necessary. Forced conversion, genocide, slavery, theft, kidnapping, extortion, distribution of lethal drugs - they have no limits and we do not share an ethical or moral philosophy on which to build an equal diplomatic relationship.

Any cursory look at China's actions and motivations during the past century should make it clear that Anyone who deals in good faith with an agent of this regime is in peril. It will not be reciprocated.

Doing all the personal responsibility/carbon footprint things is still usually healthier and better for you. Eat less meat, support local regenerative agriculture/farmers, bike or walk or take train if possible (sorry Americans), don't try to fix your ennui by filling your life with a bunch of plastic consumer crap, plant a native garden for pollinators, etc...

The difference is that once you accept nothing matters and that none of it will make a difference you can actually really enjoy life and doing those good things. If you try doing that poo poo thinking it could make a difference you'll go loving insane watching everyone around you generate mountains of plastic waste and spraying herbicide on anything a pollinator might eat or etc etc

Also not worrying much if you do grab a burger or have a steak or a long hot shower once in a while. gently caress it.

I'm trying to square "the world is doomed and nothing matters" with "the moderation on these dying forums is awful and needs to change" as a coherent worldview.

edit: but seriously I get it, you can effect change on these forums but not in the wider world, but the contrast is pretty silly

and yet when a poster who works to help kids tells others they could volunteer to do the same, this is met with derision.

this volunteering would help both the person doing it and the people they volunteer to help but, no, doomposting is the light.

I think any volunteer opportunity where you spend time with vulnerable kids is a good way to make a difference (in general). There are a lot of youth and drop-in centers that need people to show up and spend time playing games, reading, etc., with kids from lovely home environments. Lots of communities need people to mentor or chaperone trips for kids to get out of the city and interact with nature, and I've heard a lot of really good things about the positive outcomes of those programs (especially for kids living in poverty).

However you can manage to stay mindful and in the moment when you're doing things you enjoy is effective coping. I spend a lot of time (you guessed it) volunteering with kids, and seeing the difference it makes for them makes me happier about the awful world they're inheriting.

e: here's a good post from someone else about this:

(btw, NeatHeteroDude's job is working with special needs kid). Responses to this sensible suggestion:
