    Fuck around (with nature) and find out. Even now big oil is thriving, SUVs are the best selling type of cars and greenwashing is the maximum of “commitment” we see from the corporations responsible for global warming, after they knew what they were doing for decades and kept the truth from us. Politicians from all parties do nothing serious to change it and only give us empty promises. At the same time people are hating on the youth when they risk their lives and health to protest for a change by gluing themselves to the road. Humanity had it coming for a long time and we absolutely deserve all of it. Worst part is imo that the people most responsible for the mess will also be the people least affected because they used the money they made by fucking us, to buy private islands, and build underground bunkers.

      We can’t do anything about it, we are literally under the rule of a system that is predicated on exacerbating the problem in perpetuity. And peopl are so thoroughly gaslighted that they are cognitively incapable of picturing an alternative. As if that wasn’t enough, it promotes and rewards those who champion the destruction, and severely punishes and demonizes those who don’t.

      The only way out of this is coordinated violent global uprising. I’m in, if you are too let’s get planning.

          Some violence will be inevitable; but the real power will be when masses of us pull out of the system. Quit your job or work less. Don’t make money, dont spend money, buy only what you need second hand or local. Grow your own food, make your own clothes. Don’t pay taxes or pay for local permits if you can get away with it. You can help starve the beast so that others might slay it.

            Thank you for the input. Compared to murdering the ruling class, your approach seems much more attractive to me personally!

        History suggests it’s easier to catalyse an uprising than handle the reaction and govern well thereafter - need to think through the whole story.
