It’s definitely not fun. What could have been addressed with mild policy changes in the 90’s now basically requires societal upheaval to give us a chance at avoiding the worst effects.

Individual action like eating less meat is good, but it won’t fix things, and it sucks because at this point it feels like the best use of an individual’s time is like, showing up at oil exec front doors.

The world will first have to (somehow) come to a consensus that capitalism isn’t going to solve this problem which is basically fucking impossible itself

the climate future we must orient ourselves towards isnt a techutopia or a total doom but a capitalist-imperialist-fascist hellworld as we already know it. climate change (almost) only amplifies existing socioeconomic problems, so we’re just going to see the trubles existing right now just blown out of proportion. that means we need to deal with border militarisation and fascist resurgences at home, forces in favour of intervention internationally (underpinned by propaganda campaigns) new imperialist architectures of domination as in controlling agroindustrial production and supply chains in africa and the like. empire is going to work extremely hard to make sure the west maintains as tranquil and pristine as it have been throughout this 500 year hellworld history where it have gotten away with more horror than a hundred fantasy writers could cook up combined. of course there’s ecological extinctions and unaccounted feedback processes and whatnot to worry with, but all that takes much longer to unravel. in the shorter term, we need strengthened cyberjihad and communist agitation in what is just an old history made anew
