Sorry Crni, but no matter how much you advocate for saving the ecology, planet and us by extension, humans are too retarded for that.
However, above everything else, GREED. Dead Money showed us some of it, but in real life people will do anything to get even more rich. Destroying forests, hunting rare animals for their parts, billioners not spending money on atomic power or researching reneawable energy, instead buying golden lamborginis.
Influencers buying 10000$ shoes and making other people waste money on it. Products that break shortly after the guarantee, etc. This mindset will kill us sooner rather than later. The best you can do is find a place where you can hide, gather supplies and hope you can survive. Also some books about hunting and agriculture.

Didn't I say, we are fucked? Realistically, yeah, we are. But I am still not giving up hope, that things can change. What else do you want to do? You can win everything and have nothing to lose.

Grab a chair, get a drink. Sit back and relax and watch this gay planet come to end.
The great anthropocene extinction. Humanity gets shit done.
And then people come and tell me, you gota have to work hard! DON'T BE A LEECH ON SOCIETY.

The rich will die last and in style, so there's some motivation.

Indeederino. Down in the bunker listening to Mozart, sipping Cognac and when it is time to end the show they all take their last sleep ever pills.

We could introduce them to Girochin-chan first.
Mossuberg-kun will protect us.

It will be useless against Girochin chan's awakened mode.
And that isn't even her final form.

I wouldn't be so sure about that though. If society as we know it, really is collapsing, I have a feeling the rich will have a lot of trouble on their hands.

Aren't you one of those people who wants to disarm the populace to begin with but then somehow to take the fight to the bourgeoisie with spoons because well all know 10 foot thick steel doors crumple under the pressure of gardening hoes and communist literature.
We all know how this plays out. The Man retreats to their island bunkers with their selected Mercenaries and servitors. Non-Tarded groups maintain strongholds and enclaves until the inevitable. And those Naive souls spouting about it is time to rise up against those who own the means of production are the first to go because they get trampled under foot by those panicked that some green peace asshole released the monkey rage virus or are murdered by people spreading the word of Jesus who just stole all those 4k tvs from Bestbuy on their way to get salvage Jordans from Footlocker in the middle of Armageddon.

So you guys just let it happen because "if you do anything you die"? What a bunch of cucks.

By let, you mean actively anticipating the arrival of. Looks like Hasskysack there is going to take part of the most dangerous game, which sounds like a good time. Besides aren't you a Straw Nihilist, Walpknut? Thought you would be down with the whole fuck humanity aspect. Now I am no Doom Lord but I would totalally summon The Meteor with the Black Materia myself if it meant some wholesome entertainment of watching the planet go to shit.
Heh, I'm not even part of the rich. Although the upper middle class is usually the second to go after the revolution.
Anyway, my plan is that if my patent application somehow does get me fat stacks of cash, I will start a foundation to fund innovative nuclear fusion approaches and pour all my money in it. I know, solutions that don't involve dismantling capitalism are no solutions, but hey, it's a start.

If the world is fucked and there is nothing one can do - apparantly, then why not invest in something that actually helps you in the apocalypse? I didn't see nuclear reaactors in Mad Max. Did you?
I'd rather try and prevent the world from getting fucked in the first place.
And I am prepping. Baseball bat, spikes for the leather jacket and motorcycle boots, chains... Gotta get me some football pads. The prepper movement here isn't that big, so infiltrating their forums to find out where they're hiding to raid them isn't much use.

Well, scientists expect that in a few decades about half of the species on this planet could be extinct, considering the current rate of extinction. By 2050 we will also have more plastic than fish in our oceans.
So you better hurry up with collecting more baseball bats and spiked leather jackets.

But none of these things outright threaten the existence of humanity. Even the dreaded Bee collapse might still be manageable or at least tolerable as humanity adapts/reverts to something else.
Sure, it sucks for the species going exctinct, and the Center for Biological Diversity is going to meltdown, but ah, well. As long as humanity can live, no one will really care. That's the key point. If wheat, chickens, and the like were starting to die off, then people would be rioting, but honestly, technological civilization can survive this, most people will die in their beds, and while the polities will probably change, maybe even drastically, Humanity still survives.
What we're seeing is Humanity turning Earth into its first colony; a truly managed world. Instead of retreating away and dividing civilization from nature to reduce impact, we kept on with our infill, our pollution, our deforestation and overfishing.
The time to change course was in the 70s and 80s. People wrote, people spoke, people marched, there were even Environmentalist Radicals/Hard Greens blowing up shit. Nothing changed. Then came the 90s and 00s and people started to wake up. Al Gore ranted about it live. Now here we are, in the 10s and 20s, and all we've seen is the commercialization of environmentalism, cheap feel-good solutions and slogans and actions. We get luxury electric cars instead of electric workhorses, trucks, ships, or planes; we keep putting off total green energy until 2030, 2040, 2050.
It'll always be someone else's fucking problem until mankind has moved up to the poles with their cows, pigs, cats, dogs, hamsters, birbs, sheep, chikkuns, gooble goobers, goats, lambs. Salmon, Tuna, Halibut and other fish squirm in massive aquafarms. Caged off Lions, Hippos, Elephants, Whales, Seals, Apes, Monkeys, Hyenas, Llamas, Tigers, and the like provide some entertainment as being cute megafauna. Some bugs skitter around and the rats remain. Wheat and Soy and Corn and Beans and Barley and Rice and Quinoa cover everything that isn't a city or protected, managed 'forest', which are basically huge, curated parks.
Enjoy Earth: Mankind's first mangled managed colony; where you can probably list off all the remaining species of animals by memory soon enough and a list can catalog all the bugs and fish left, all from the new Polar nations as the tropics and subtropics are cooked into useless desert wastes.
