the only way to change our course is violence at this point.

Sadly, yes.

There's still time for a general strike. The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would've had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.

If you aren't in a union (or even if you are, it's worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you'll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one.

All of these problems are caused by a remarkably small network of people. I'm not even necessarily talking about the CEOs. It's the boards of directors. This is also the pool from which CEOs are drawn one and the pool to which CEOs return after their golden parachute. They function as a living repository of evil. A warehouse of criminals and nepo-babies. (Ex: Airbnb guy joined DOGE and is on teslas board. So first he destroys the housing market for a generation, and then destroys the government, and he is the person who directs Tesla.)

Like, the network is so small it could fit in one big room.

Future generations will look back on the pre apocalypse population

If it makes you feel any better, our '01, '08, '14, and '20 recessions all put hard downward pressure on carbon emissions.

If Trump manages to throw us into the first full blown Depression in a century, he may do more to curb US emissions than any president in history.

Reminds me of this song. Carbon based lifeforms. World of sleepers

No surprise that they are going to power this beast at all costs

I mean, they could use their fascist power grab to drive through the infrastructure work to expand power transmission lines needed to support a modern economy, renewables, and yes more datacenters

Additional coal is just the easiest way since we already have century old power lines bringing that power where it’s needed

Yes, in this case, coal might be easiest, cheapest, fastest because we can continue to neglect infrastructure. It’ll fall apart on someone else’s administration
