I fucking hate this. Its all for literally nothing. For fucking money. Money. Imaginary pieces of paper. Even worse, imaginary numbers on a fucking screen. Data. It’s all for fucking nothing. We won’t avoid the 1.5 C mark, and it might come in 5 years. 2 C would mean basically the end of any semblance of normal, at all, and the collapse of the global south. Forget even 3 degrees, I’d probably already be dead. They won. They fucking won. No revolution in the Imperial Core is possible. Everyone is a chud, or a lib, or a left anticommunist. We can’t fucking win. It’s over. The world is over.
Visited a city I grew up in yesterday. It’s a very upper middle class, right wing & conservative place where all you see now is people having Ukraine flags propped up on their expensive house balconies.
What got me though was the big construction area that had been propped up in the city rivermouth, right on the seaside. These were being sold for the kind of euros nobody but the top 10% here has.
And all I could think about was how these people build these status houses and spend these fortunes on them, but because they are so attached to the status quo, nobody even mentions that this land will be in the sea, literally, in not so distant future. Probably before those mortages for those houses are paid.
This feeling of being just separated from the “reality” these folks choose to keep living in, it’s everywhere now. They just go on with the, I don’t even know what it is anymore. Denial isn’t a strong enough word for it.
What really pisses me off is that these are the people who will insist that they are the realists and pragmatists, talking down to you like you’re a spoiled child while claiming that everything will forever get better under liberalism
