Does the article actually mention that parts of Earth are no longer habitable already, or just that the conditions are moving into that direction? The title of this post seems to indicate the latter.

While I can see that you might experience these as uncomfortable parallels, there is a big difference you could consider: That climate activism is based on scientific research.

Where are you getting the idea from that "we" are proud of our communication being controlled by a commercial party? I'm pretty sure most people are not proud, but either poorly informed or not willing to make the trade off for more security while losing half their social network.

You can't simply increase hospital staff - these are highly trained people. That's an investment that takes years to pay off. Encouraging social distancing doesn't work, people are tired of it and many either didn't care in the first place or don't care now that they are fully vaccinated.

Many western countries messed up big time by not investing enough into their health care systems or into properly educating their population. So now they're out of options.

Wire is still improving quickly and it looks very promising, but this (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/secure-messaging-...) is reason enough for me to avoid them for now. Signal is still the best secure messenger in my opinion.

Well, they could've actually started charging for the service. $1 a year was more than reasonable for me.

We're different people, but I think my friends are just not aware of how their rights are violated and how important privacy is in a digital world. Mainstream media also rarely publishes content related to this issue, so most people have no clue about what happens in this field. Pretty hard to make good judgements if you don't know the details.
