Sorry, is optimism an obligation?

More extreme weather, some of our most important farmlands becoming unproductive to an extent not seen before.

Looks like meat famine’s back on the menu boys!

Purple is often used as a color of the feminist movement, so that’s why I’d guess

It’s not though. It could be the point in some cases. But often enough, constitutions have been granted as concessions from the sovereign to whatever group was putting up pressure, often the nobility, who had no further intent to introduce a republic or democracy or whatever else. Just looking out for their own interests.

I always do, but can’t seem to find a fix. Worked perfectly at the start of the year.

Experimental

I like this new format where we scan photocopies of posts.

Interesting that you think I’m American. Just amazed by people stating openly that they’re okay with genocide.

you could? huh, weird flex but okay

The EU will never ban them.

Good to note that the game Half-Earth Socialism was developed as an extra to the book of the same title, by Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass, that also combines fiction chapters with non-fiction.

I think both are quite unhelpful. Mocking him doesn’t do anything to him or his base. Worse, it often takes the form of ableism and then you’re just hurting people around you. Organizing does. It’s the only thing the ruling elites fear. Join a protest, a union, a strike, and get more people involved.

I didn’t say anything against organizing? I have something against petty bourgeois libs spouting bullshit in the media and not doing anything useful. I applaud people actually organizing, especially those in labor (unions)!

I did - all these types of ‘backlash against Trump’ that are being reported on are mostly hot air.

Sure, but usually, like here, it’s limited to some social media and press moments. Liberal posturing doesn’t stop fascists. I hope there’s better organizing happening on the ground, but I’m not seeing much from where I am in Europe.

“Widespread backlash” isn’t really something that has any repercussions to him, his entourage or his base.

For some less optimistic, but still combative climate literature:

Climate Change as Class War, by Matthew T. Huber

Slow Down, by Kohei Saito

and right now I’m reading I Want a Better Catastrophe, by Andrew Boyd, and so far it’s interesting (and accessible).

Ah yes, that’ll do it

What’s wrong with a car-sharing setup? Less space needed, people don’t need a car 24/7 so others can use them, it’s cheaper and less wasteful and polluting.

Why? That seems like a great addition to his resume in this administration?
