There's signs of change, but it's still not nearly enough. More of the same. "So folks have a real reason to be deeply agitated and concerned about what we’re doing."
We need to be in the streets, screaming at out leaders. We need to be [redacted]. But we're too disorganized and therefore scared for our own safety. I've worked for years with people trying to make a difference, and acting at the appropriate scale feels impossible (so don't say "vote with your wallet"). HN commenters often show me things I've never heard of... is there anything going on that has a good chance of making a real difference in this existential crisis?
- CalRobert 3y agoThe only thing I know is working to effect systemic change. Go to climatebase.org and get a job there. Run for office. Harangue your politicians. Vote with your feet and move somewhere better.
- digging 3y agoNot sure if you read my whole comment, but as I said, I've been doing those things. Well, not running for office, I'd be terrible at it.
- nathanaldensr 3y agoSorry, but some people--maybe the majority--simply don't believe what you believe. Downvotes and temper tantrums don't change that. Time to face reality.
- digging 3y agoI don't... know what you're saying. Are you accusing me of throwing temper tantrums? Do you not believe that we're in a crisis? What is reality to you?
