do you wanna hear commentary on these or is this for your convenience/to get it out?

mostly just wanted to get it out but commentary you feel like would be helpful is welcome
Replying to
a lot of these things are entangled, and it makes more week to think of them as risk scenarios
the one I'm most afraid of (which doesn't mean it's most likely to happen) is large areas becoming uninhabitable and forcing migration, countries going full fash in the face of that

if history is any indicator, once a few countries go full fash the others recoil away from it, but the US might be on the path to be fash this time. and wars are unlikely
you can try to organize here (in which case weapons are good), or run away somewhere else.

I find the idea that you just wanted the sensation of getting it out and it has nothing to do with wanting any of the consequences of getting it out
a) laughable, unlikely
b) profoundly pathological
