The West Virginia Democrat told the White House he is firmly against a clean electricity program that is the muscle behind the president’s plan to battle climate change.
Morally? Of course not. But with where popular consciousness is at now that's likely to make them martyrs of liberalsm and backlash to the movement. As things get worse that may change what level of violence the general public is willing to tolerate - but that book was written as an intervention to the climate movement circa 2019. That's pre-covid, so maybe it's already a little out of date. I personally think oil-execs would be a target a plurality of Americans would understand violence against, but it's probably better to start with targeted property destruction tactically. Normalize real resistance to fossil fuel extraction before going for harming people.
TO BE CLEAR. THIS IS AN ACADEMIC DISCUSSION AND I AM BY NO MEANS ADVOCATING FOR THE HARM OF ANY PERSON.

Well certainly, completely academic discussion and all. Some interesting points to consider.
Indeed, very academic, I'm putting this simulation in my next Minecraft education mod :big-cool:
