Distraction from what?
- yongjik 1y agoDistraction from the fact that there's not going to be a perfect solution that solves the climate without inconveniencing us "common folks." By advocating for a perfect solution that sticks it to the bad guys, one can put off talking about concrete, actionable plans. Very convenient.
- eagleal 1y agoNot one of OPs, but it's become common knowledge these days that a real class war has been ongoing for decades, with the final blow likely delivered by Thatcher and Reagan. The social contract, between the effective ruling and representative classes and the populations they are supposed to serve, seems to have been completely broken. So you could say everything not pivoting to this point is basically a distraction.
