The days of social security are numbered. Without it, there is no dignity in old age. Having to live off handouts is worse than death. Working hours will increase significantly. They may not be the 120 hours that Elon Musk wants (initially), but people will not work less than 60 hours after 2027.
Climate change is happening faster than expected. Climate instability is having a major impact on agriculture. Any country whose food production is affected will need to import more. Therefore, producing countries like ours will export more and domestic prices will increase. In other words, any country that enters a food crisis will cause food prices in the US to increase.
The idea of a multipolar world is stillborn. BRICS is a thing of the past. It only has Russia and China. We will be increasingly subjugated by the US, with accelerated deindustrialization. Labor laws will adapt to favor slave labor on farms. Fascism will reign supreme throughout the world, and the media and surveillance and espionage technologies will easily crush any movement that opposes the status quo.
I say that people are optimistic because they put puppets in the world, which means that they have complete confidence in the future, and believe that their children will have better lives than they did. My question is where this optimism comes from. Can anyone explain?

>>2198147These kind of replies are exactly the same sentiment that people feel. And it's part of the problem.
This constant seeking of validation/meaning of life through suffering/drama.
I'd rather have a boring life.
>>2198279>>2198213>>2198237I'm not sure about how true this is.
I believe the global pollution.
But we humans burned a lot of fossil fuels back in the previous five centuries.
Climate change isn't instant.
>>2198533This
Everyone thinks they're the only ones seeing the bullshit and everyone else is sheeple.
It's kinda arrogant
>>2198540Labor organizing has never done anything.
ARMY organizing has.
>>2198539>The retardedly zoomed-in graph you posted illustrates nothing at all.Wrong. The graph is clear and appropriately scaled. The purpose is to display meaningful fluctuation in working hours. Claiming it "illustrates nothing" demonstrates you don’t understand anything. This not kindergarten bar chart. This is precise economic indicator tracking material conditions of last 20 years. From 2008, through bidenomiKKK, to last month.
>Maybe have a look at the Y-axis labels? There is less than a 5% difference between the top and the bottom.Cope. 5% reduction in average weekly hours across 1.6 hectomillion proletarians is catastrophic. 5% decrease means a loss of aggregate labor hours equivalent to 8 million full-time jobs.
>The entire thing falls within the margin of error.Wrong again award. I bring gold standard in economic data. This enormous sample size with minuscule margins of error. Relative Standard Error is 0.1%.
https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesvarae.htm>If the Y-axis included 0 (like non-propaganda graphs do) the movements would be invisible.Pure economic retardation. Zero on the Y-axis would be nonsense. Are you suggesting workers regularly clock zero hours? Current scale is deliberate design to show meaningful variation. Is thermometer fake because it doesn't start at absolute zero???
Face reality and stop coping, demoKKKrat. The crisis won’t stop just because you deny it.
>>2198536America is just like most empires of the past.
Most overthrow of emperors are often inside jobs
>>2198758And that’s the problem. For the first time in history the revolution must begin based on reason and not need. Global warming isn’t gonna wait for people to go hungry. And tbh I’m sure lots of average people are willing to die for the revolution. Life is mundane and empty
>>2196291I feel related to the picture tbh
>>2197942I feel this is the most likely outcome. I think most intellectuals and scientists agree
>>2198758>Americans aren't dying of hungerThere actually are, but I doubt you touch enough grass to actually know where to look
>>2198551You idiots keep getting reminded time every time that the reason why there hasn’t been as much revolutionary activity in the United States as there should be is because of the fucking weaponized road system used against the proletariat. And everytime, you fucking idiots decide to play the blame game and insult the the American proletariat instead of listening and paying attention to the addressed problems laid before you. You have been at this for years. You have gotten no where. All you did this entire time was insult the American, and make no progress. I am fucking sick of it. Either help develop some goddamn solutions, or just shut up. At this point, your silence is more valuable than your inputs.
>>2199091>insult the the American proletariatI wont insult proletariat since its keeped away from forming any class concious, with active help of the same people who claiming youself as their left thinkers and leaders. As i wont insult current russian or european prols. But question is legit - amerikkka is the country with most weapons per capita, easy access to any knowledge and gear imaginable for organized groups, transportation. Your road system is as advantageous for transportation and militias operations as for porky national guard to squash them.
Yes, amerikkka (and west yrope) is on top of the worlds economic value extraction system they created and guarded by their soft power and biggest MIC on the planet. Yes, this is exact reason why despite having prolific proles movement 19th cen england doesnt have any revolutions, because ruling class was able to spend a little more on gibs of somewhat welfare and shared homeland wealth for locals, making the basically firstoid workers - working aristocracy, revolting against the system for its dismantling threatens their position. The biggest drive for class conciousness is total crisis and war, thats why for massive nations as Russian and German Empire, or post colonial China - revolution was the only solution.
>>2199082That is why we need to increase global warming, only in struggle people can see their chain. Shit is going to happen sooner or later, why shouldn't we speed up the process?
>>2199091Retard.
>>2199137>But question is legit - amerikkka is the country with most weapons per capita, easy access to any knowledge and gear imaginable for organized groups and, transportationI come back to see this nonsense. Most certainly. However, a good swath of those weapons are resting in some gun nuts lair. Most people don’t own guns here.
>easy access to any knowledgeMore like easy access to the internet. Not necessarily easy access to information you may need. And the information to get the information you need costs extra.
>gear imaginable for organized groupsThis costs money. And connections. Many Americans have neither. Most militias are upper crust for a reason.
>transportationHahahahaha no
>Your road system is as advantageous for transportation and militias operations as for porky national guard to squash themSure, if you can get the ball running, which is both very expensive and an uphill battle.
>Yes, amerikkka (and west yrope) is on top of the worlds economic value extraction system they created and guarded by their soft power and biggest MIC on the planetThey WERE so high in their league that they raped the lands of the imperial core without having their flag be seen as a hate symbol. In more recent years however, I think they slacked in terms of soft power, and now they’re dealing with the consequences of that.
>>2199208Cool response
>>2199473what is this mythic proletarian activity? Most of the popu;ation doesn't know what is happening nor understand how capitalism permates their life. Even though they complain, they only seek to escape to a better place with a "better government' rather than doing something about it.
Unions are scarce and few
>>2199521also all ameriKKKan unions are explicitly anti-communist in nature.
the AFL-CIA in particular have long collaborated with the state to root out potential leftists both at home and abroad. they are partially responsible for the deaths of millions and were all but openly working with the CIA to ratfuck unions in other countries.
the fact is simple, and i think all you little waffentwerps can see it deep down in your schutzstaffel-black hearts. america MUST be destroyed. it cannot be reformed. it cannot be saved. it can only be confronted and destroyed with the absolute maximum possible level of prejudice. only after america has been destroyed can we even think of building something new.
>>2199521>Most of the popu;ation doesn't know what is happening nor understand how capitalism permates their lifeI heavily doubt you’ve ever seen the average American before, much less met one.
>Even though they complain, they only seek to escape to a better place with a "better government' rather than doing something about itYou speak of upper class liberals with money for travel
>>2199532>unions are explicitly anti-communist in natureWe noticed
>america MUST be destroyedSay something new
>>2199521>>2199532>if I don't see trade unions, they don't exist!Dipshits here not only are retarded, they're proud of it too. Not even going to touch on the typical leftoid garbage about America being some "special evil".
People who think as though unions are some bourgeois psyop to pacify proletarians into petit-bourgeois marginal gains from the state have clearly never participated in any, nor engaged in a factory committee, strike committee, etc.
<Am I missing something?
Scientific studies suggest that depressed individuals may perceive reality differently from non-depressed individuals, sometimes in a way that appears more "realistic" in certain aspects. This phenomenon is known as "depressive realism."
Key Findings from Studies on Depressive Realism:
1. More Accurate Judgments of Control
Studies have shown that non-depressed individuals often exhibit an optimistic bias, overestimating their level of control over events.
Depressed individuals, on the other hand, tend to more accurately assess their control over external outcomes, particularly in experiments where participants press a button that may or may not influence a light turning on (e.g., Alloy & Abramson, 1979).
2. Less Susceptibility to Positive Illusions
Healthy individuals often maintain unrealistic optimism, believing they are less likely to experience negative events than others.
Depressed individuals tend to have a more accurate risk assessment and a less biased self-view.
3. More Realistic Social Perception?
Some research suggests that depressed individuals may be less prone to self-serving biases, meaning they don’t overestimate their abilities or social desirability as much as non-depressed individuals do.
However, this realism is mostly seen in mild to moderate depression; in severe depression, pessimistic distortions can become extreme and no longer realistic.
Limitations and Criticism of Depressive Realism
While depressed individuals may be more realistic in some situations, they also tend to overestimate negative outcomes and underestimate positive possibilities, leading to cognitive distortions rather than true realism.
Some studies suggest that depressive realism only appears under specific conditions and may not be as robust as originally thought.
Conclusion
Depressed individuals might be more accurate in assessing control and predicting negative events, but this doesn't necessarily mean they have a "truer" view of reality overall. Instead, their perspective may lack the beneficial optimistic biases that help non-depressed people function and stay motivated.
>>2196307normies are retards who unironically think theyre gonna get rich from gambling/AI/streaming/[insert whatever new scam STEMfags came up with here]
they genuinely dont understand that society as we know it will be over in the mext 2 decades at most. why do you think theyre still having children?
>>2199973that firstie lifestyle is not sustainable and will end because of climate change
even as thirdoids we live a relatively comfy life (depending on ur country) that wont exist in the future. we'll all become refugees and get gunned down by border patrol
>>2199973>meanwhile amerilards get to take hot showers every morning, I will remember to check my water heater privilege in the future
>drive around in their heated/AC'd pickup trucks and suvs,Are you serious? Heaters and A/C are a matter of life and death depending on the location. Especially A/C because there is no clothing that can keep you cool. Some thirdies get to live in perfect year round weather. I'd rather live in perfect year round weather and no A/C vs live in the South with the A/C but alas I am bound by circumstance.
>>2196291>>2199980I've posted about it in other climate doomer threads, and it's not my original idea, but the key to survival is to move to high elevation places. They're naturally temperate to cool. Some of them are perfectly temperate like Addis:
>>2199995It only fluctuates from the high 70fs to the low 70s.(25c to low 20c)
>>2199995>I'd rather live in perfect year round weather and no A/C vs live in the South with the A/C but alas I am bound by circumstance.lol you dont know what its like to take a bus filled with people in a scorching tropical climate
we dont even have fans in our buses here
