We could be headed toward a death spiral of climate change meaning the end of humanity in 15 years, but thanks to politicization of environmental issues by psychopathic shit-eating politicians, nobody would believe it.
The general population would believe with justification that politicians were doing their usual fearmongering to squeeze even more behavioral compliance and tax monies out of people at worst and putting on of a phoney totally-righteous handwavey shitshow to distract them from the death and destruction caused my a more immediate issue: Western governments using terrorism to implement neo-colonialism.
If there was one single situation where "shoot first, ask questions later" applied, it would be in the context of your message.
