The world is melting. The oceans are dying. People are shooting each other in the streets.

Humanity is ending. This is the start.

There’s conservatives and then there are right wingers. Things can get rolling without clear objectives and demarcation of sides starting with tit for tats. How many mass shootings does it take to make a civil war? A rose is a rose is a rose.

Toss in a new arms race and rapid proliferation.

That's the source of the issue right there. There's too many goddamn people on this planet and a lot of then are idiots. This rock needs a plague or a meteor strike. I'm being totally serious. If news broke that large asteroid was on its way to wipe out 80% of humanity, I'd sell all my sh*t, start seeing the people and things I wanna see before I'm obliterated, give nature one last pat on the back saying "so long and sorry for all the wars and idiots" and kindly walk into the woods and eat a bullet sandwich.

Lame. I'd travel to where I could get a good view of the rock, I bet it'd be beautiful.

In reality an asteroid would hit us in the blink of an eye. It's not like the movies. We'll just be obliterated in a second out of nowhere.

It could go either way. I'd hit up an observatory or something if it had a hype campaign before it hit.

Isn't there one that's REALLY far out there in the middle of nowhere? I'd go there. F*ck it, I might go to Antarctica.
