    Who is passing blame?

    It’s our fault we are here, it’s our fault this happened, it’s our fault when we are finally gone.

    But life itself will adapt, and overcome this obstacle, just like it has countless times before, and will countless times again.

    Personally I believe that our lasting impact will be plastics, which will get compressed by time and become the “rocket fuel” of the next species to gain full sentience, which will allow them to explore the galaxy.

      Our? Who is this our you are speaking of? I didn’t agree to go fight wars of conquest, to plunder natural resources, to enslave people, to ask to be made accustomed to living a life of grind, grateful to our debtors for the impoverished conditions of the world. You say “Our” because your slavedrivers have so properly brainwashed you into identifying their causes and travesties with what may actually be your own. Your life. There is no Our. There never was. That was the lie.
