Who Will Stand Up in the Fight Against Cruelty and Extinction?
Let’s recap.
Yesterday, a Trump appointed judge, one with so little experience that she was called “unqualified” by the ABA, decided to end the mask mandate that had been instituted by the CDC. A Russian dictator redoubled his efforts to flatten the people of Ukraine. Worldwide, in an effort to offset the loss of oil from that war, everyone is scrambling to get and burn more fossil fuels.
All of this is considered normal. These are mere differences of opinion and, well, everybody is entitled to their opinions? Right?
No. This is literally insanity. What is insanity? Denying reality. Insisting you are Napoleon. That the Earth is flat. That up is down. And especially, that wrong is right.
Insanity also means that you can deny that COVID causes massive avoidable death, that there’s a “rational” reason for bombing cities full of people into rubble, and that burning fossil fuels is absolutely necessary despite the death, devastation and destruction our decades of climate abuse has already yielded.
Excuses are made for stupid brutal actions and, perhaps worse, sane people are debating those loons and treating their arguments as if they made sense.
