" It is surprising to hear someone in 2023 suggesting these things as these are all the things which have failed us for 20+ years"
But maybe it is not all because of an evil elite, but also the very common people who don't believe or care about climate change, because it would mean bad consciousness or reduced comfort?
And the people who say they care, but still fly around the world for a vacation?
A scientific consensus alone is not enough, it needs a general human consensus that something needs to happen. And slowly slowly it is forming in some ways. In other ways things are going backward (russia for example is thinking out loud that climate change is just caused by earths natural radiactivity).
But I also fail to see how terrorism can help create such a consensus.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI am not arguing in favor of terrorism! I am arguing against the idea that voting is enough. Put simply, in between voting and terrorism is activism and legal action (that is, using the legal system and suing organizations and governments as was done recently in Montana). > But maybe it is not all because of an evil elite Our system is elite-driven, and popular attitudes are strongly driven by elite manipulation through the media. > because it would mean bad consciousness or reduced comfort It would not mean this, but we have been led to believe it would mean this by an elite that doesn't want to make these changes due to reduced profits.
