    It’s never gonna happen. That’s my point. And where did I blame “individual action” here? I’m on your side on this one, bud. I’m just being realistic about it.

      Fatalism is dull, and “just don’t buy it” is individual action.

      “Tough shit, nothing will happen” is not being on anyone’s side. Empty pessimism is a waste of everyone’s time.

        That’s not what Fatalism is, pointing out what can realistically be done isn’t “blaming”, and this is a Lemmy comment thread. All there is here is time wasting.

          It’s not realistic, it’s not all that can be done, and insisting we’re simply fucked is absogoddamnlutely what fatalism is.
