It's too late for us to win

This right here. Putting a label on your shit does you absolutely no good neither in dealing with nor figuring out the cause of it.

The collapse of industrial civilisation and striving to build socialism are not mutually exclusive.
Remember this guy and what he set out to do? Remember all of the people that died of starvation simply because the land couldn't carry millions of urbanites? Those people are going to die anyway, the Earth simply can't carry them and the cities they live in won't be good for anything.

Alright. I don't think deleting pictures on my computer will make the depression go away though.

No I didn’t dude, I said the world shouldn’t exist if America can terrorize everyone, not that the world will end and there is no hope

Is this the real social fascism?

Alternatively the cities can be turned into giant urban farms, the farms can be reforested, and both can be geared towards carbon sequestration

Saving the environment that existed for all of human history is now impossible, but we can try making the world a tropical Mesozoic Eden as fast as possible if saving this one can’t be done.

Remember, for most of the time life has existed there wasn’t ice at the poles and forests or deserts covered the globe, if saving OUR Eden is impossible then we can create a new one and try seeing it through.

Modern agriculture relies heavily on petroleum. Modern crop varieties rely on industrially-manufactured pesticides because they direct too much energy to their fruiting bodies to fight infection on their own. Think less vertical farming, think more perma-culture and crop rotation being cutting edge. Certainly nothing in cities either because the land has a finite carrying capacity

As for the forests, I would like to hope that enough of the people trying to cut them down will drop dead for them to grow back. In truth though, deforestation was a bigger problem in premodern Europe than it is today, poor people would use seaweed to heat their homes. In the long run we are probably quite fucked in this regard. Still, humans and every other living thing would eventually be wiped out or turned into an engineered product were the industrial system not doomed so we still got an ok case scenario.

At least you're calling it the depression and not my depression. You're not attached to it, there's no depression growing in your body. If you want to bring up the brain chemicals argument try dopamine fasting, you can do things about it while still in this incredibly shitty environment.

My thinking is a combination of genetic engineering to try and make resilient crops for hydroponics farming (all the shitty finance buildings in my home city NYC should become vertical farms), filling the city with as much plan-life as possible. Think, permaculture in the cities as well as in the country. Mankind must reconcile our place in nature and try and merge our society with nature as much as possible, our cities should be part forest as they are part, well, city.

And I say we need a massive nuclear power grid to form the base infrastructure for energy sources, with renewable sources like wind and solar built on top of it. Basically nuclear as the core to power us for thousands of years, with solar and wind to supplement our lives.

I think what will be essential is trying to build an energy infrastructure in our planet’s orbit alongside the move to transform our lives and society.

I'm going to digress hard here but look at National Soycialism. National Soycialism is above all a worldview or, as George Lincoln Rockwell put it, a philosophy for life. Most Zig Forumsacks who think National Soycialism is a political programme are just brainlets who happen to hate Jews and blacks, anyone who can think critically and sort good ideas from bad ideas should read National Soycialist literature. In the 21st century we should learn from fascism and National Soycialism.
A core component of the National Soycialist worldview is struggle. As George Lincoln Rockwell pointed out in similar but different words to me, even standing up is a struggle against gravity and we're all going to croak, so if you can't find something positive in struggle you're not doing it right.

The system won't collapse overnight though, it will collapse over several decades in a process that is right about to start from the energy return on investment of petroleum extraction declining. There won't be time or place for research teams to develop fixes accessible to ordinary people while the economy is literally collapsing. All the debt that's added to the gdp means nothing in material terms anyway, the economy is declining now already because of the declining energy return on investment due to only harder to access petroleum being left, giving us less net energy to invest into everything that isn't working at an oil rig. You're bargaining man, I'm sorry but NYC is doomed, New York State is doomed in large part (resilience.org/stories/2009-07-22/can-new-york-state-feed-itself/), you need to get out.
