    i feel like the fascism problem needs to be fixed before anyone can even begin to approach the climate problem

    they’ve been talking about these tipping points for decades and it’s clearly gotten worse instead of better. it’s good that this information is there, but at this point it’s like trying to breach a hardened fortress by throwing marshmallows at it

      Unfortunately, we’re stuck with having to both beat fascism and solve major social and environmental issues at once. Fortunately, solving each of those makes solving the others easier.

      I agree with you. I’m a middle aged fart and I have heard of the upcoming tipping point too many times since the 90’s. Still waiting on it.

      However, I can’t help but stating that either we deal with both at the same time or we’ll have no chance to deal with either.

      Maybe the collapse of the current form of civilization is inevitable. There’s even people who believe it should be accelerated. Me? I don’t know what to think. I know the solutions. I’ve known them for a long time. It’s the people I don’t know what to do about. The complacency, the apathy, the ignorance and arrogance…

      What I do know is life is miserable without hope.
