I’d understand this level of optimism ten years ago. I’d even understand it five years ago. But now? Now this is just pure delusion.
We aren’t gonna “solve” climate change. That battle is over. We lost. The climate is changing and it’s gonna continue changing faster and harsher each year.
What we need to do is fucking adapt and make sure we can stave off the worst of the crises that are to come. I have near zero hopes of that happening, especially under the current capitalist framework.
See, I'm pretty sure it would just take one to kick off a wave of them once everyone's reminded that being rich isn't the same as being immortal, but that's "bourgeois adventurism" or whatever. Because, obviously, you can't stop a never ending carnival of abject horror with the targeted redaction of a dozen or so individuals. That would imply that such a deed might have some kind of propaganda value, which is obviously absurd. :anarchist-occult:
While I'm opposed to Stochastic violence (and honestly not a huge fan of killing anyone we don't have to, which is going to be a long list as it is) I sometimes think the Anarchist assassinations and some of the RSDLP expropriation tactics really did weaken the system over decades, despite the short term PR issues.
Like if you can rob banks, or kill major politicians, then the state can't protect its own ruling class.
Even if it is "fixed," it will likely have caused or contributed to countless deaths. To even pretend that you could make this a triumph of capitalism when climate-related emergencies have directly killed hundreds in the past month, is a bizarre sick fantasy.

Counterpoint. We shoot the capitalists in the face in the next decade and start bootstrapping FALGSC.
