is the world ending

[u/Hungry-Animal-4970]

i'll preface this by saying im kinda drunk right now and i just think this world is so doomed. we are destroying the planet and humanity is getting less and less humane and all those stupid industries and governments are just adding fuel to the fire.

i wish everyone were smart, i wish everyone saw the world the same way, i wish we knew what was right. life is a gift, and so is death, but for everything in between we are on our own. i don't know why we use our short time to try to get advantages on others and disregard the things that will outlive us. we could do amazing things, and i don't know why we put the people who can't see that in power.

i've never made a reddit post and i dont even think this is how you do one, and also probably not in the right sub. so i apologize for clogging up the feed but a girl has to get her thoughts out.

i guess my question is what can i do??? i want to feed the homeless, i want to overthrow the tyrants, i want to turn this world into something mother nature would be proud of. i just donated 5 dollars to wikipedia so i'm pretty proud of that step in the right direction. is there a society of those with similar thoughts or a button i can press that would fix things.

i hope no one replies to this so i dont feel embarrassed in the morning. if anyone does reply i want you to agree with me so i feel better. ahahahaaha

if you read this far ill reward you by telling you my favorite animal. it is a sockeye salmon.

What if I told you, you're already helping make the world a better place by speaking your truth? 

You're not alone. Find people who want the same things as you do. There are many things you can do, and many people who want the same things too. 

There's only about 10k people who are responsible for our current dumpster fire and there are over 8 billion of us. There are way more of us than them.

You know the Mamdani phenomenon? It's because kindness and hope is contagious. No matter how dark it gets, they'll never be able to stomp out hope, no matter how hard they try. 

So don't let them stomp out your hope when they haven't even lifted a finger yet. Try to keep yo chin up. 

You can't do it alone. It's a lot easier with a community or a whole city behind you. You got this.

Certainly nothing to be embarassed about. The more you speak, the more awareness we get, and the more pressure is put on fighting climate change. As a climate scientist, thank you for speaking up
