Okay, hear me out, here's the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it's done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.
[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…
And because we have millions of people there’s no way to get enough people to agree to do anything meaningful.
We are doomed and will go extinct.
Perhaps a wiser species will marvel at the thin smear of radioactive material and toxic petrochemicals and mass extinction that marks our passing.
