There is an existential threat to our survival which I see 3 aspects to: #Ecocide, #CivilisationalSuicide & #WhiteSelfGenocide.
That we are committing ecocide is undeniable. Ask #DavidAttenborough.
The other 2 are more controversial. Most people would deny both outright.

I believe all 3 to be true, which I elaborate on in this thread:

The choice between fight or flight is instinctive, but there is no instinctive response to the threats we face. We have to think about them, which exposes us to the subconscious temptation of rationalisation & denial, which we have clearly succumbed to.
#GretaThunberg is struggling most prominently against denial & rationalisation of the threat posed by #ClimateChange, which I view as a symptom of our inherently unsustainable economy & thus an aspect of #CivilisationalSuicide.
