This was funny at the start, but I guarantee people with mental illnesses will start hopping on this bandwagon and you'll see people unironically protesting it.

What is doubly distressing is that we collectively could be addressing issues such as these if we wanted to.

#5Until human society stops serving abstractions (like money) over things that are real, then real things will continually face consequence. These will still over into our lives in a multitude of ways until we no longer have real systems to support these abstractions.
Loss of natural life is such a failure. Today we speak of stock markets, governments, businesses. Someday, our main concern will not be these shared dreams, but meeting basic needs. This can already be seen in homelessness. How long before things like this means our planet can no longer manage pollution, or produce soil healthy enough to feed us?
As a believer in the concept of memetics, it is clear that standing in defense of the real is a battle that is being lost, but the consequences will not be escaped forever. One such consequence is the pandemic and my society's inability to deal with it due to serving things that aren't real. I think that a million dead will be remembered with whimsy in the coming decades as not being so bad.

How can we better communicate the urgency with people who do not find it an issue?

its kind of mind boggling to start thinking about all the stuff we do that's detrimental to birds habitat (and basically every other animal). Even down to the tiny factors like yard maintenance: do you blow/rake/bag every little thing in your yard and send it to a land fill? you just stole food/housing-material from birds, squirrels, etc...

Meh, the actual marginal harm is nil. Someone genuinely believing in "Birds Aren't Real" was going to latch on to something.

Outspend dozens of large deep-pocketed industries in lobbying and misinformation.
