What's the breaking point?

Yeah, I know this tone. I'll engage anyway.

Actually, the world's biggest consumer of energy and materials is China, hardly a first world country. And no, most of what China produces goes back into Chinese infrastructure.

Developing countries benefit hugely from trade with the developed world. An example is Indonesia, which relies on China, and to a lesser extent, India, then to an even lesser extent, the rest of the world, for selling its coal, nickel, and palm oil to.

Cool. I'm talking about the US right now. A cultural event had taken place where around 19 children were gunned down a couple days ago.

The 'masses' care about their families, and sending their kids to college. Only jobless college students, their tuition being paid by their parents, or 20 somethings having their lives being subsidised by their parents again, dream of the coming revolution.

Those who are actually poor are trying everyday to get out of that cycle. Revolution is the last thing on their minds. 

Only jobless college students or 20 somethings as you've described them? Unconditionally and internationally? You might think of replying "Well... I'm talking about the US right now". I said that in reference to the US's issues. I'm saying that we should look to other political parties in the 3rd World such as the NPA in the Phillipines in reference to looking for a solution. And of course the masses care about their families. Still doesn't invalidate anything I've said.

Colonialism was a blessing in many countries, for a variety of reasons.

In some others, it wasn't a blessing at all, but hardly 'traumatic' except for the generation that actually suffered.

You're definitely living in the First World with me   We can enjoy any fruit at any time of the year, everything is at our fingertips with a little money. That really is a blessing, thank you for showing me that.

And FFS, the earth is not dying.


Climate change will make it harder for humans to exist as they do today. It will reignite the wars of thousands of years ago, with nations battling for water resources, and land (as their own goes under the sea). It will probably be very bad for future generations. But the earth is not a living being. It can't 'die'.

This is what was meant though. You're just being cute here
