Why do we take military threat more seriously than the threat of our planet literally becoming uninhabitable for our species? Won't be much left to defend when that happens eh?

Seriously, I genuinely think this is the great filter. We KNOW it's happening yet we're still doing it.

Humans are notoriously short-sighted.

Because military threat is more imminent. From a logical POV it's absurd, but sadly most world leaders don't use their brains or they can't fathom how a slow change can be slowly killing us.

It's better than spreading fucking anti-personnel mines on your own territory

where is the "little guy"?

" conversationalist"?

You're using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.
