Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

Welcome to our internet society, where you cannot make general statements without individuals taking great offense. This is the same with everything right now, and why we are not making social progress and why we seem to be slipping backwards in terms of progressive action and attitudes.
This weird instinct we have to argue against responsibility for things outside our control is fucking everything up. We can't talk about a large host of topics for fear that the individuals who take offense to the ideas will dominate the conversation. We can't talk about gender issues, geopolitical conflicts, sex, climate, science or even health without preparing to fight everyone at every angle so by default, most people don't get involved. It's easier to not care about an issue than fight the three or four loudest people who feel displaced blame.
We are a species that gets distracted too easily by things others say, and we get too distracted responding to the outliers that we don't make progress.
