Kind of sad. We could do it in a fair way, we just don't care enough. But was there ever a time when that was actually different? I assume not, and even though lots of things are crappy right now, we're probably still better off than ever (speaking for Europe, at least ...)
- fogihujy 5y agoThere were the syndicalists/socialists/communists back in the early 20th century but Whatever was left of the European revolutionary movements dissolved into the current iPhone-wielding, latte-drinking Twitter mob we call the left today. I have little hope they will accomplish any real change. I'm pessimistic and don't think we should hope for more than damage control once the effects of the climate change start becoming more evident in a few decades.
