I don't think I have ever seen something so fucking horrifying. I'm drunk so my emotions are high but I think I am genuinely in shock.I see why the memory of glacial outburst floods have been preserved for so long. I cannot fathom the horror. I think I just watched hundreds of people instantly die. I don't have words to describe how I feel about this.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but we need to do things I would be accused of fedposting for. The people responsible for climate change need judged by an unforgiving god. I've never been so genuinely horrified by a "natural" disaster in my life and I personal knew a family who drowned in the Texas floods a years ago.

I don't know how much longer I can wait for liberals figure shit out. I don't want to do a fucking adventurism, I know that it is harmful, but I can't keep just observing

Reminds me of how I felt during peak USA covid where everything as it truly is was laid completely bare and people could easily connect their neighbors and relatives dying directly to the choices and actions of a few. And its surprising that we didn't have some libs or left types snap and decide it was adventure-time

    I despise the fact that no lessons were learned from COVID and that almost no one actually saw the world for what it is from the severe mishandling of that entire pandemic. I’m sure some did, but boy did they almost immediately go back to brunch once they could.

    I feel so left behind by my friends, family, and peers because I saw it for what it was and never went back to “normal”.

    It’s becoming the same exact thing with climate change. I’m one of the few people in my circle that I see acknowledging what’s going on around us.

    Everyone else, just like with COVID, is waiting for brunch prices to go back down without acknowledging why the price has risen like 3000% in the past 5 years. Or I guess a better example is the people who keep wondering where the seasons went. Pissing and moaning about not getting in any good snowboarding this winter without acknowledging what could be the cause…

    Well dozens of police and protesters were injured and at least one police precinct was burnt down during the anti-racist protests which was during covid, I personally saw a full row of flaming police vehicles around June 2020, some people did snap a bit.
