You are SO Stupid That You've Killed Your Planet

I'll bet a lot of you imagine you're really smart, and maybe you figure all the dumb people of the world—the one's that haven't got the world figured out as well as you—deserve their fate of not being you. Maybe you live in a nice Agrestic or Stepford exburbian paradise, where your ticky-tacky worldview is affirmed 24-7. Maybe you live in the more upscale portions of the United States of America, and somehow still imagine that you're better off than the poor wretches that live in France or Tierra del Fuego—and hey you couldn't find either one of them on a map, could you?

But the truth is that you and your stupid life, and your stupid consumption, and your really stupid trust in your leaders to not kill you while they pursue their idiotic policies have killed you, and your kids, and your whole damned planet.

While the rotten stinking wars, and their daily crimes perpetrated by the alleged good guys against poor people, drag on; and the rotten stinking bankerscum collect trillions of corporate welfare, while the people are thrown out of their homes and their kids starve; and the rotten stinking pols continue to kowtow to their corporation masters; the Earth has been breaking at a breakneck pace.

"Worst-case scenarios" concerning climate change—the sort where it happens way sooner and way more destructively and in a manner that makes it effectively irreversible, are showing signs of being the scenarios we are actually facing.

Now, it's true, the smart, or that is rich countries, won't likely be impacted by climate destruction in quite the immensely destabilizing way it will tear through poor countries. But on top of the already-destabilizing economic fiasco bashing the world, we have the prospect of vast portions of the earth very soon becoming non-arable—incapable of supporting agriculture. When already poor people by the hundreds of millions are faced with a situation where their own lands can't even support a meagre production of food, they do the normal human thing—they migrate. And instead of thousands of illegal aliens, we may face what the ancient Romans faced—millions of migratory humans wanting in to where the food is. And they won't be coming with smiles and hopes for the American dream. They'll be coming with weapons to take what they need to survive.

It doesn't take much imagination to envision truly Apocalyptic outcomes for those kinds of situations—and that's just one aspect of the impact of stupid humanity killing its own planet.

We should face facts—we are being destroyed by a human asteroid of asininity that will wipe us out just as certainly as the astronomical brand of annihilation.

And you want a way out of that scenario? I'm sorry, but you just weren't smart enough.

Game over.
