If So Many Americans Care About Climate, Why Don’t They Vote Like It? 11.2 million. That’s the number of Americans who rank climate as a their top priority but didn’t vote in the 2024 US elections (coveringclimatenow.org)

Believe it or not, the average American doesn’t want to murder and create death on the scale necessary for that kind of change,

The average American is more than happy to propagate death on a global scale just to maintain their current level of comfort - what you mean is the average American doesn't want to see the required death themselves.

    Cool. Same can be said of you. Put your money where your mouth is, your government is no less problematic, and overthrow them if you're going to insult Americans for it. Especially considering the average American doesn't support those wars. Our political system has just been waited to give certain people out sized say.

    You assume the same can be said of me because you think of yourself as an average American, while I am not an average Brit, and have actively opposed the government and been arrested for it. One of my close friends is currently being persecuted by the British government for his involvement in Palestine Action. That you do nothing about your situation says nothing about me.

    Lol. Again, call me when you do active resistance. Being arrested for doesn't mean you were doing active resistance. If you're calling for violent revolution for Americans to do, doing anything short of that yourself means you are just talk. You're not serious about it, you're not actually ready or willing to make the commitment that you're calling people to do.

    I vote, I participate in unions, I campaign, I fight for worker's rights, via methods that are actually actionable and not just larping on the Internet about how we should violently overthrow governments.
