    If you want to stop climate change, the only thing we can that has any hope of working is a peaceful revolution.

    To start with, join a union or learn how to unionise your workplace. If you can, look into setting up co-operatives. The IWW has some great resources. Anyone can start a union, you don’t need any sort of special qualifications or knowledge. Join the IWW, they have some great free trainings you can join to learn how to make real change at your workplace.

    Once enough people are unionised, we can start building a coalition of unions, all of which can work together to tackle larger and larger issues. If we have strong union efforts in each industry then we can protect the working class against the negative effects of striking - for example, if there are unions in the food production industry, then people striking don’t need to worry about going hungry.

    This is how a true people’s revolution happens. With the least amount of violence possible, a bottom-up, people-led movement.

    If you believe in this in any way, please, join the IWW. I know it seems like a long journey, but it begins with a single step, and that single step is joining the IWW.

    You forgot the part where we just kept mashing in the gun, over and over again, into the hole even as it poked through the wall and aimed the barrel at our forehead.

    Yeah but to be accurate you should include a baby version of the cat and have the gun barrels aimed at him instead.

    Maybe the reason we haven’t found extraterrestrial life is because they, too, as a civilization have failed to stop itself from self-destruction.

    Perhaps this is the bitter and paradoxical nature of life. The struggle to exist but is doomed to go extinct.

    It’s … it’s not like that at all.

    It’s a seemingly complicated Rube Goldberg machine with an enormous amount of other species extinctions before our own.

    It’s inefficient is that it is.
    We need something more direct like the pictured solution. Other species deserve us getting efficient like that.

    What makes you think we’ll die out? Sure billions will die, but we’re like cockroaches, there’ll be some left

      That’s because whatever we encountered, there were still places where humans could survive.

      If Earth turns into an other Mars, that wouldn’t be the case.

      Maybe life would survive though. Hopefully.
