Why are they saying "on our way" to something that's already here? We even have a name for it: the Anthropocene Extinction Event . Seems dishonest for them to ask that question and…

It's a totalitarian nightmare right now too, what rock are you living under? Why would one group of the same ideology be tyrants and not the other, just because they have a few dif…
