not impossible at all. we just have to wait for the oncoming economic collapse, famine and mass migration. the great part of this whole thing is that the more we double down on the systems that brought us here, the more they will be undermined.

I wish people would stop pretending we have a choice to do nothing because the whole thing is just going to be too inconvenient.

But we do? There's no pretension here, no action is always a choice. That doesn't mean that we will be free from the consequences of course. I think many people are betting, consciously or not, on the fact that we can keep going like this until the day they die and then they won't have to care about the consequences.

Uhuh, we just need to wait until you stop reading dystopian books and will leave your basement.
