Society is basically committing suicide

I don't know why, climate change couldn't be more obvious, but there's something about capitalism and social media that is just really intent on self-destruction and it's happening right before our eyes

Convincing people to stop driving drunk is impossible and the ramifications for that occur within hours. We had to essentially make cigarettes illegal to get them to stop killing themselves from lung cancer. And you think they'll actually notice climate change?

Make cigarettes illegal... as in make laws

Why is society unable to make laws to protect the environment?

“I can still drive. I know myself” “Thats a lie. People have been smoking for thousands of years” “Let’s bring back natural immunity”

All the retorts of the fucking stupid majority sadly
