Because they are all in on the progress narrative and angry that they're aren't getting their share, and voting for whoever tells the most comforting lies. It's only after the leopard feasts that they realise they were duped, but they believe the next charlatan most of the time. In the US "both" sides of the political spectrum are corrupt, same for us here with #LibLab, but we do at least have preferential voting which allows protest votes to actually work a bit of they're for minor parties. It's down to if the person voting is scared enough about the prospect of sharing a smaller pie. The "woke" folks realise the game, & that the colonists / capitalists are coming for everyone.

    it is kindof hilarious that anyone at this point think living standards are ever going to get better for any except the 1%, and even they won't see this continue for long as we come to the carbon pulse down slope and run out of key minerals, water, and climate change really starts to bite hard.

    I'm deeply disappointed by this - it is absolutely the most unreadable piece of slop I've attempted to read so far, and only because resisting Facebook has been the hill I will die on.

    But resisting slop is my new hill.

    The internet is basically eating itself at this point.

    Umm... he really isn't pro-diesel. I think you are misinterpreting the intent of the post. Some fleets are being electrified in some countries but it's a small number in most areas, the demand is still extremely high for deisel. He's not happy about that though.

    hey this doesn't have an AI image... why is it being downvoted?

    It's not his strongest post, but there are genuine issues with the amount of vehicles running on diesel, even with the speeding up of people realising this is going to be an issue.

    It might have helped if more people (and governments) made resiliency choices a little bit more in the past. We're still in for some serious hurt in the near future.

    Meant to post about this earlier, but I didn't even read about it until 2 days ago after the event started, but it's still on for a couple more days - plus once you join the event you can watch the past talks.

    If you are interested in #permaculture #solarpunk #IndigenousWisdom #hopefulfutures #localisation #ClimateChange and so much more, this is something to check out.

    Speakers so far have included Tyson Yunkaporta, Helena Norbert-Hodge, Fritjof Capra, Nate Hagens, Daniel Christian Wahl, Jeremy Lent... you get the idea.

     

    what bothers me most is that the concept of degrowth isn't even possible to contemplate to these numpties. This economic model is failing, yes, but the article does not actually propose to consider the deeper reasons. "Economic growth" must be pursued at all costs according to these fucking twats... oh? Really? Why? When we have energy constraints, how the fuck can this even be possible, yanno? They don't even consider the reality of energy descent being inevitable, and that we are now staring it in the face.

    I'm so tired of not being allowed to talk about this to 99% of people, too.
