If you think you are the only one, or that people who feel as you do are rare, you’re probably mistaken.
Where are the huge powerful climate protests? The people in the streets, standing in front of the capitol? Parked outside ExxonMobil HQ? Where is the disruption, the steady activism?
The climate of the planet is literally being destroyed. And the most visible protest is a handful of people glueing themselves to artworks in museums. They are getting SOME attention, mostly from people who are concerned about the art — which is never damaged.
What’s going on here?
No Evil Geniuses
Let’s rule out stuff. There isn’t a cabal of evil geniuses brainwashing us into supporting oil and gas and coal. We don’t see masses of people protesting in favor of those things. The oily plutocrats are doing terrible unforgivable things, and sometimes they work together. But they are stupid and their attempts to suppress or divert opposition aren’t that big of a force.
No. Really. People aren’t falling for their crap. They KNOW that plutocrats are ruining the lives of everyone’s children. They KNOW that even the plutocrats own children will live on a ruined Earth, and resent their parents to their accelerated dying days.
