No one one could articulated it better than you just did. Years ago, I too tended to laugh at people that believed in this BS. I didn't really know 'where' my old friend was at with any of this. People change over the years. We only get snapshots of it as time goes on. It's not very revealing either. I'm suspecting the-- **'Save the planet. Kill yourself'** brainwashing was a factor in my friend's death. There's way too many powerful misanthropes out there pedaling this shit. Too many people are actually believing in this BS. It's very harmful and sick. I don't take it lightly anymore.
