You will see large scale humanitarian crises happening within 30 years and some of them are going to hit you at home. The human race consumes the equivalent of 1.7 Earths, meaning we're living in an unsustainable debt that will inevitably lead up to the greatest disasters in human history - and you think none of it is going to happen within your life time? The collapse isn't some far away event, it has already begun.

I could go on and on (Rainforests, Monsoons, agricultural collapse, Arctic Circle reaching 30ºC, etc. etc. etc.) but let me make this as simple as possible for you:

Demand for resources is going up
Supply of resources is going down

Conclusion: global impoverishment => growing dissatisfaction => the supermarkets you expect to always be magically full of food start become more and more empty until one day there just isn't anything for you anymore => riots, uprisings and chaos

What do you think happens after that?

This isn't even an exaggeration.

If only people were aware of the massive scales that we are dealing with

Imagine the catastrophe that would ensue when the rains that these fields depend on are diverted elsewhere; if the rivers and lakes from which they extract water from dry up or are contaminated.

One thing is food prices going up, another thing is there plain and simply not being enough to go around for everyone.

Pictured: giant corporations bribing poor nations like Bangladesh to accept their trashed ships because it's cheaper than to proceed with all the legal requirements of ship disposal. The people then have to deal with it, but it's their fault, right?

"Just don't use plastic bags lmao"

You are scientifically illiterate, a Reaganite who believes that anything and everything can be accomplished by your own individualistic self-determination, as though you or the millions of other nobodies like yourself control the multi-trillion dollar industries that regiment the globe. All of humanity could return to anarcho-primitive societies and you'd still have to deal with the disastrous effects of global warming, effects which were brought on by gargantuan titans the scale of which you have no means to even process. Society is now forced to depend and suckle on the black oil tit of petrol, with the alternative being the literal collapse of civilization. This is not a decision I or my ancestors made, but was imposed upon all of us by the folly of corporate titans and accelerationist governments.

We are already living in a scarcity scenario. We are consuming 70% more of what the Earth can yearly produce. We are literally living in debt. The collapse is not an event that will happen overnight, but a process of which we already find ourselves in. Giant atmospheric rivers from the Amazon rainforest responsible for the Monsoon seasons in the tropics, of which billions of people depend on for their agricultural harvest (AKA: literally not starve to death) are now being diminished by illegal and unregulated exploration and also being diverted from their usual paths through the secondary effects of Man's tampering with the atmosphere.

And here you are, a self-righteous and ignorant "American Dream" preaching tit, trying to tell me that me buying a straw is somehow a factor in this. Educate yourself and look at the vast scale at which these things operate. All the automobiles in the world still provide only a negligible percentage of the total vehicular pollution (the greatest of which are airplanes and cargo ships), but please, do go on to talk about how it's my fault that we live in such a potently pollutant era that Geologists literally had to invent a new name - Anthropocene - to describe it.

>Attributing culpability to the negligible damage done by private citizens
>Overlooking, if not downright ignoring the real widescale damage done by unseen titans
>Arguing about fucking straws

Fuck you and your "just be a better human bean :-)" philosophy.

Show the jury which one of these is made by the individualistic actions of the standard private citizen.

But somehow the average person is expected to hold power over this. Grow up.

That's good to hear! If you want to improve positioning then you should consider watching STV demos. Compare your habits with the habits of top tier Demomen, take mental notes and then apply them the next time you play. It's not as fun as actually playing the game, but it's very efficient and a far better use of your time.

TF2C is not an ideal environment to learn proper positioning, but by being surprised and left alone by your team it at the very least teaches you when you should feel vulnerable and take the necessary precautions before you get picked off. In an ideal scenario you'll be with a team that communicates and does its respective job (which you aren't guaranteed to get in an Open team either).

It's an upward battle for sure but as a Demo main it pays off to recognize when you're alone. Once you've developed that intuition you'll see that playing with a proper team will feel that much smoother. At the end of the day TF2C will be holding you back so I'd recommend finding a group of people to form mix teams, doublemixes or play in pickup games in order to further your skill. Join the ETF2L and TFTV discord if you haven't already and start socializing with people.

It's apologists like you that devalue the extremity of the situation. Do you know how serious the pollution and CO2 emissions done by industries are? Private citizen pollution is extremely dwarfed by the aviation, train, ship and fracking industry. But you're satisfied with banning tiny little fucking nothings that are easily offset again by a 0.001% production increase of a single industry.

No, this is not progress and you are wrong for thinking it.

This is what you see:

And you call that progress. This is what I see:

As you can see, regulations and new legislation to promote more environmentally friendly practices are not synonymous to a reduction of the problem. New regulations, new legislation, but the industry continues growing. I don't call that progress. Restricting private citizen consumption like banning straws is extremely fucking insulting and by justifying it you are letting yourself become part of the gullible masses who think that something is being done. It isn't.

Here's what a fracking plant looks like. Look at the trucks and houses for size reference:

Get angry or get out.

Is it possible to inform us as to who these players are or which circles are guilty of this specifically? Perhaps then we could analyze the issue more thoroughly. It may not be enough to save you but it may be enough for the rest of us to be more attentive to these issues and put the necessary pressure to see this all start going towards a better path. It helps no one if we continue to regard these offenders as an abstract and nebulous group of "high leveled players".

The "beauty" of a mob is that no one is responsible for it. By continuing to shy away from identifying people nothing will be done.

I apologize for being passionate about bringing justice to offenders and preventing the suffering of future innocents.

I'm such a horrible person.

They are indicative of popular opinion which was the crux of my criticism. Or you can divert it to "internet points"

Literal brainlet

You're going to wait until they make someone else miserable before taking action when you could prevent it? How serious must it to be to justify that?

Come on man, I know you're the victim here but you could end this once and for all.

EDIT: Apparently you already reported it to the highest cases, hadn't read that. I'm glad something proper's being done at the very least.
