No future, only going insane.
Insanity is the only freedom left.

This shit makes me so mad. Ppl rly be like "idc abt climate, it'd be nice if it was a bit hotter here" (I live in a northern place) and then in like 20 years they will say "it's not our fault, no one told us". Oh well... guess my life expectancy is 40 instead of 60...

“May be.”
Gods I’m sick of this. There is no “may be” about it.

The protests against wind energy projects in Kahuku, Hawaii, highlight a growing land-use conflict over renewable energy projects in various regions. While renewable energy is promoted as a solution to climate change, opposition from rural communities and concerns about noise and land use are mounting. Balancing renewable energy expansion with environmental and community concerns remains a significant challenge.

This monday was 30c here, and I literally can’t remember the last time that happened. The extreme heat was followed by a massive storm. The ones truly responsible for all of this shit will never suffer for their crimes. They’re laughing on their way to the bank.

Reply to New North Sea oil and gas licences will send ‘wrecking ball’ through climate commitments by Britta
If this was a country in the global south, the British press would be all over it, calling it corruption. Sunak's wife's interests include dozens of companies that will profit from raping the planet like this :(

Reply to comment by wednesday in (CW: suicide) The climate crisis should be the last nail in the coffin of the state by TheJawns
My hope is that as the threat becomes more and more real for the individual, the cognitive dissonance will become too strong in enough people, that some form of systemic change (destruction) is possible. I welcome the destruction of our current society, but it would be nice if at least some people managed to voluntarily abandon it, before circumstances will force them to.

i'm sure the prisoner sees the utter uselessness of the prison, yet it requires more than just that to abolish it.
i'm not concerned about climate change. that might not be a very popular position, because climate change is likely to lead to a lot of suffering and death, but all the people who care very much about climate change are achieving exactly the same results as i am in preventing it, which is to say, none at all.
but more than that, states have been causing suffering and death for as long as they've existed (and even before then, if we consider historical proto-states). if we just stop and actually think about that for a moment, it is absolutely horrifying how much harm has been done - is still being done - by states; i'd even say it's inconceivable, in that while we can understand it in numeric or factual terms, it's really very difficult to truly understand or feel all of that suffering. we should cry until the end of days just to consider the enormity of it.
so will climate change cause more suffering? yes, of course. but i don't think it's the uniquely 'evil' event that some people make it out to be. climate change seems bad to many people because, for once, it's happening to us - and by 'us' i mean people like me, i.e., relatively well-off westerners. of course it will harm everyone, not just people who have been historically insulated from the harm of the state. but this harm has already happened and will continue to happen in the future. it's just the latest revolution in Leviathan's endless reproduction of itself.

What's the textbook "whataboutism" response for this one? I can't think of one.
