Where are we going? Are these the End Times?

I read this Substack, and I can't tell if it is hopeful or not

Hard to bend the arc back to where it should be!!

1. No, They Are Not the End Times

Sorry, Christians, but it's not the End Times. Jesus isn't coming back to save us from ourselves. We have to do it all on our own.

2. Well, the whole GOP has looked like a murder-suicide cult to me...

and not just lately, but at least for the last 10 or 15 years.

Our safeguards against this used to be able to undo it a bit,
but I think it was always just a postponemet.

I have already posted what I believe is going on. It has to
do with our collective unconscious -- which is basically
fascist -- and the denial of holism in faver of the mechanistic
view of things which Descartes started in the late 1600's.

For things to change, iow, there would need to be a global
mind change that sees the world as holistic and all things
in it as one beautiful thing.

3. I'm not interested in reading anything based on 'End Times'

sky dog has virtually nothing to do with it.

5. Maybe take this to the Religion Forum

where it belongs. We should stick to reality in GD.

6. GD deals with MAGA unreality every day.

7. Interesting post by Martine Habib altho it seems a bit scattered

or perhaps more a collection of thoughts without a unifying thread.

But, I suppose most of our lives are a bit like that.

Thanks for the reference.

8. Climate change will certainly be the end for many

Some of us may still be around to witness the beginning of the greatest calamity humanity has ever faced.

9. I saw a lecture given about a decade and a half ago

by Col. Larry Wilkerson, Colin Powell's Chief of Staff. He said that a NASA scientist had told him that, in the worst case scenarios, by 2100 there would be only enough arable land on the Earth for 400 million people. This was in Texas and the horror of this statement went right over the heads of the audience.
It's fifteen years later and we have are on pace to match the IPCC worst case scenarios. Just last month Dr James Hansen showed that the climate sensitivity, warming rate, is not 3°C as used by the IPCC, but 4.5°C. Like Col. Wilkerson said, "Where do you bury nine billion people".

11. Stop. Global. Whining.

80's Bumper Sticker.
Seen in California no less.

12. In the late 70's or early 80's in the

Bay Area I saw "Nuke the gay whales". I suppose it seemed edgy in the Bay Area but it was common sentiment in Texas.

13. Millenarianism is what the current right is all about,

So f' NO.

We can actually influence the real world and toss the fascists out on their ass.
