Define 'not helping'?
Burying your head in the sand thinking this polycrisis is salvageable, is making things worse for everyone.
There is no future. Fantasies about having a bunch of grandkids in socialist enclaves of community gardens, or whatever, is hopium propaganda. Each new person created for this future you keep talking about, is adding a truly huge amount of carbon, heat and pollution to the planet.
Talking about how bad the polycrisis is, is hopefully getting through to enough people and making them less likely to procreate on a dying planet.
Less children born = less resources depleted and less carbon and heat speeding shit up = fewer dying children and more time to come up with physics defying magic to solve entropy and restore our planet.
(Or idk, god or aliens or something equally as unlikely saves us. Surviving this is not my fantasy and you should pick something that appeals to you.)
People like you are why we never stood a chance. Our species deserves this timeline.
