Almost 20 years after the invasion of Iraq and we're right back where we were then, but worse because now fucking NATO has decided they'd rather get into a nuclear pissing match with Putin than take one fucking L. Meanwhile stateside it's suddenly back in vogue to attack LGB and especially T rights, liberals and chuds have put aside their differences to play in the war drum circle together, the anti-anti-imperialist "left" is taking its victory laps online, the pandemic that still is killing and will continue to kill thousands every day is suddenly yesterday's news, and all we have to show for two decades of protests and agitation and organizing is a handful of better contracts for chuddy trade unions and a couple unionized Starbucks.
TL;DR: All hail the cockroaches who will inherit the fallout-choked Earth, I've no doubt they'll do a better job running the place than we did.
The response to covid-19 since it started made me abandon all hope of any organized response to ongoing climate destruction.
:grillman: and :maybe-later-kiddo: made a culture war about wearing masks, or did performative support of basic measures to reduce the harm done until Tommy needed drinky a bit too much. What hope does any society-wide response to climate change have if the treats havers and the treats sellers have the power?
