Absolute madness. They're signaling that Floridan lives are expendable. I used to go in on past civs that did human sacrifices but shit what do you call this?
They're signaling that Floridan lives are expendable.
, at the bare minimum since COVID started.
I’m so fucking glad I left that state. I don’t think there’s anywhere else in the country where the leadership has so fully stuck their heads in the sand and just live in a fantasy world.
Literally standing in knee high water in your living room going “Nah the water isn’t rising.” Like, I was going to say that as what this thinking will lead to but then realized as I was writing it that they’re literally currently doing that.
And honestly it’s not just the leadership actually, this might be a place the leadership accurately reflects the views of the population. Like 75% of people living in Florida are either hardcore or softcore climate denialists.
Some are fully “climate change isn’t happening” denialists, but there’s also a huge portion of “Climate change is happening but I’m still buying a house near the beach, surely it won’t ruin my life” denialists, including half of my friends. The remaining 25% talk about leaving Florida like the north is the Promised Land.
It is very sad how few topics I can talk to lib friends and family about because they just don't wanna hear it. Covid, climate change, cops, whatever. They "believe" in all the things but heaven forbid you want that they should face them in anyway.
The liberals around me at work and in public back in CA didn't want to talk about anything the next New Exciting Retail Product and back when Gambo was still a thing they'd babble about who murderfucked who and asked if I saw that epic murderfuck scene where the murderfucker smirked and said a quippy line while murderfucking.
Florida may as well be underwater and the people still somehow there will still vote for meatball Ron and the likes.
i mean it is the state that upheld mass disenfranchisement of felons despite the people voting on a measure to allow felons to vote. american "democracy" is intensely antidemocratic, and we shouldn't accept the myth that these scumbags are what the masses want, even in "red" states.
No amount of hurricanes hitting cities will change their mind, FL is just more mask off than most of the core about capital's approach to the environment and life.
sacrificing swaths of people to god capital since inception
