Objectively looking at our system of economics and governance has proven to not take the interests and plights of the people seriously, and is routinely highjacked by special interests to further their wealth and power at the expense of the working class and global environment.

If no fundamental change is made then ...

millions will die.

And those in power will write it off as an acceptable cost of doing business. They already have.

That isn't a hypothetical. That is the reality of climate change on our current trajectory that our current systems fail to accept and do something about.

So to answer your question, there is no alternative people are trying to speak of. Our society is already crumbling and it is not salvageable.

So we have a choice not about alternatives, but on if ending it now would mitigate casualties as opposed to letting the train derail naturally.

At least if we willingly make effort to change we can have some control of the situation in favor of the working class or at least have solace we died on our feet than on our knees
