Hierarchy vs. Extinction

Why does some doom talk conflate
Social rank with extinction debate?
Inequality’s strife
Is found throughout life
And can’t change, because now it’s too late.

We might seek fairer ways to cope,
But sliding down Hubbert’s slope
Means vanishing shares
For us and our heirs:
NTE extinguishes hope.
