I'm tired of pretending nothing is wrong while the list of wrong things continues to grow.
It would be nice if we could maybe get our shit together enough to at least try to close the stable door before the horse has bolted in this instance.
Because after the shit his the fan, we're going to have a great many fewer options.
Most of us tend to agree with most of what you’ve said here.
That's what I assumed. What I don't understand is getting nothing but pushback. How about some interest in the notion that we might be able to seize some agency and DIY a way out of this?

Okay, so what’s the best course of action? If you’d like to be a part of a movement do you think this is the best way to go about it?

God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other. -

That's what I assumed.
It's a reasonable assumption.

You're showing people nothing but contempt. You seem to start from the assumption that anybody discussing issues in terms anything less than your absolutist ones is being a "polyanna". The idea that they may share many of your concerns, but just a) be less absolute in their certainty, b) more practically concerned at that particular moment with things where they do have some confidence in their knowledge, and c) not "pretending nothing is wrong" while doing that, seems either not to occur or be something you despise. In fact, you've spend the last page doubling down on how much you despise it.
I'd have thought finding a few like-minded folks to bounce ideas around with would be a start.
Derisively derailing every non-trivial discussion isn't achieving that.

I’m being serious here, are you okay? Most of us tend to agree with most of what you’ve said here.
