Playing devil’s advocate…
Would it be so bad to just let things run their course? Stupid and ignorant will eventually collapse on itself. Yes, it’ll take millions with it. But there’s too many of us anyway, right?
I used to rage against this idea. I have family and loved ones there, everywhere, really. I wanted to fight for them, for all of us. But one by one I’m seeing them shut down and look away from what’s happening. (Or worse, showing tendencies to switch sides) As one does in such circumstances. Just have a look at history.
My own basic instinct still wants to fight, but my brain says “Why? What’s the point? With so many people on the side of injustice, ignorance and hate, does it make sense? Wouldn’t it be better to let them wipe themselves out? Start with a clean slate, or maybe stop altogether, let this planet have the fighting chance it deserves?”
Of course I can’t do that. I love this place. This planet. This utterly damaged and imperfect humanity on it.
The real question is… what *can* I do?
