True facts, and I think the main reason for the West's complete failure of imagination around addressing climate change through policy. We had a whole unit on nudge theory in a policy class that I took because anything more involved than redesigning a form is A u T h O r I t A r I a N i S m.

"Authoritarianism" is such a bizarre, brain rotting cliche. Bedtime? Authoritarianism. Changing your nappies? Authoritarianism! Forcing people at gun-point to not destroy the world and all life upon it? Red fash tankie evil gommunism authoritarianism!:?!>?!!!!!!#@4hyg u89-ip1rhj9-23ehf214
Ironic because it's the climate crisis that undid my fear of communism in the first place.
"Wait, so everyone is tacitly okay with pollution but nazism came back as a totally grassroots movement? Ok, maybe authoritarianism isn't so bad after all...."
