“Fuck you, got mine” summarizes it all. Burning planet isn’t his problem if he can get a little more as it burns.
This is a new strategy… I didn’t think it could get dumber.
It will.
“Sure I have cognitive disconnect. I just don’t care though.”
It makes sense to me - he might think that continued global warming is inevitable and the only choice is between enjoying life while he can and being an environmentalist chump who makes himself miserable while other people burn his share of fossil fuels anyway.
GOP is consistently contradictory. So are most dictators and their parties. This fits.
What’s so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person’s perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying “this is fine”
Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it’s exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.
I agree. I’m actually hoping for human extinction. We’re a cancer on the earth. If bees went extinct, the natural world would collapse. If ants went extinct, again, the natural world would collapse. If humans went extinct? Well, not much would happen except that the natural world would achieve equilibrium again.
I don’t understand how anyone can say a statement as heartless as “humans are cancer”, but I shouldn’t be surprised because it’s within our nature to oversimplify, categorize, and put good and evil label on things. But the truth is that you can’t put a label on humans because we are too diverse for that. For as cruel and heartless humans can be, we can also be kind and forgiving. There are millions who dedicated their lives in helping others, and millions of forest rangers defending what you label as good. You know that life has existed on earth for 3 billion years, so what good did it do exactly? Creatures born and died one after the other and what good did they ever do? Also life wasn’t always stable on earth, there where 5 mass extincttions, and 5 ice ages long before we industrialized. It’s been a few hundred years at most since we’ve been a “cancer” to earth. If humans where gone things will continue as normal, stars shine until they fade without anyone to gaze at their beauty. Universe will turn dark without anything happening. I don’t think things will stay like this. Humans where hunter gatherers for ~288000 years but we grew out of it and learned to do better. I think the same will be true for war and injustice. We will grow out of these childish actions one day.
Well I’m enjoying life, and I daresay even in hundreds of years from now there will be people who enjoy theirs too
To live is to suffer. Study. You’re almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.
Or…
That’s nasty and almost outrageous. Meat shouldn’t be overcooked!
True, but neither regular pork nor long pork should be undercooked either. That’s how you get trichinosis…
“…interstellar permanence, we are defective. Aaand, done. Time to hit reply.”
Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.
It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.
The sick thing is most donors have so much hoarded wealth their entire lineage will never spend it l… But it’s worth letting the earth burn to accumulate more.
Gotta die with the highest score.
if global warming is real, why come it still gets cold?
I’ve heard that caring about the earth and the people who live on it is communism and I won’t stand for it.
Checkmate Scientists! 🤓
lol yeah
If politicians lie, why come we still vote?
Follow the money
Stage 2 of the four stage strategy.
Or perhaps even stage 3 but somehow even more detached.

Is the title a EU 4 reference?
It’s a reference to the movie Don’t Look Up. Not sure what EU is.
Europa Universalis IV, a grand strategy game by Paradox. Haven’t played it though, so idk the reference
EU is the European Union, a group of countries in Europe that share common laws with each other.
Not sure what EU is.
EU 4 = Europa Universalis 4, a strategy game about 1444-1821. The poster above is likely referring to this in-game event:
All the options for this event yield the same negative result, and the devs often add new ones (as a joke). And “there is no comet, please don’t look up!” does sound like the sort of stuff that those options say.
“Climate change is real, and it’s a good thing. I hate winter” - him, probably
Never forget that a moron Republican senator brought a handful of snow onto the Congress floor to prove climate change was a hoax!
If the GOP senators are this moronic… Just imagine the idiots voting for them… shudder
“I hate ice, it’s cold, it’s icy, and it gets everywhere.”
Nega-Anakin
remember: climate change ain’t just not fake, it also makes summers fucking unbearable and average winters a likely cause of frostbite! hooray!
we’re all gonna die of our own stupidity in the next couple centuries… lest we do anything about it
Simple he is using the 4 stage strategy https://youtu.be/nSXIetP5iak?si=2mQDIfA0n9ZENrsF
This explains so much
