Ok, I think I understand. You’re thinking of it as a mission with a result that is quite sure - death. I don’t think Greta thinks about it this way and even I don’t think about it this way. I see it as a mission with several possible outcomes, that is very dangerous amd can result in death, but it’s not the only way it can end. The fact we’re talking about it here is a good result already.

Why do you think you understand every person who does something like that? People are different, have different views, motivations and visions. Bravery does exist. There are people willing to risk their lives for their ideals without being selfish and proud about it. It’s not always main character syndrome just because you’re unable to imagine any other explanation. The world is more diverse than that.

Some people are willing to die for others. They don’t think they have plot armor, they are aware that they will probably die. It’s not stupidity, it’s bravery. I find it sad that people tend to belittle this kind of action.

We were not talking smart or not, the discussion was about main character syndrom/brave.

Yep, in many cases that could be a major improvement.

I don’t believe a reasonable population decline would mean such a severe shortage of labour that there would be nothing to buy. I think we could actually make a shorter week or shorter hours happen without big problems.

Ok, I’d remedy that by not giving all the wealth to the wealthy, and transfering it to the caring progefessions and to the retirees themselves, so that they could live a devent life.

We’re talking about population decline, not disappearance.

Well, the people against pride are not the ones thinking love is love. They’re the ones thinking love is only right between a cis straight man and woman. This meme is directed at straight allies, not adversaries.
