Deluding yourself is neither going to help, nor is it all the good we can do. And what do you mean I don't have to participate? I doubt any of your guys footprint is even anywhere near as small as mine. It's not me that you have to convince to fucking do something when I'm the one who wants those "extremistic" measures being taken.
My guy... It's not the forest dying, but our sole basis of life. Economic hardships? None of that matters when the climate collapse goes on, and it will. We did fuck all even before Trump, right on our way to 3 degrees Celsius globally. We already seem to have reached 1.5 degrees LONG before even our worst predictions. And under Trump the US will backtrack HARD on any sort of token climate policy. The world cannot compensate for the emissions of the US. And you may think getting people to fight help, but it doesn't. Trump and his cronies do not care how much you're protesting, in fact, they'll have plans for that too to suppress it. But that also does not matter, because here's the truth of the matter: NO ONE CARES!
Look around, look at how few people actually vote for Green candidates and parties, look at how many are already crying about a bit of inflation and price gauging. Real climate policies, the ones we'd need, would drive our economies into the ground. Remember the economic downturn during covid? If the emission fall of that would've gone on until 2035 THEN we would've been on track, meaning we'd have to experience this kind of economic freefall continuously - JUST FOR THE TARGETED 1.5 DEGREE GOAL (which again, came MUCH earlier than anticipated)!
Neither corporations, nor politicians, NOR VOTERS, actually care! People who truly want proper climate action being taken are a fringe movement of "extremists". Maybe we see some of them turn to climate terrorism, but I doubt even that would help. In reality, we'd need a proper global climate revolution, but there's 0 support for that. And by the time shit is going to hit the fan sufficiently it will be long too late to avoid anything that isn't some post apocalyptic nightmare full of suffering for the few people that still survive.
This election was decisive, and humanity lost. Fuck Americans. Fuck humans.
It's just copium. "But we can still..." i.e. things that won't happen anyway because they already did not happen before and are for sure going the reverse way under Trump. The few people who claim to care need to stop making themselves hopeful and happy with delusions, it's not going to help. We'd need severe extreme measures now, things the general public would not want. That's just the unfortunate truth of it, but one that people have to realize. Just like how people need to realize how many people want far right fascists like Trump, or the garbage parties in Europe. Things will get much worse now.
Unfortunately the best part is cut out and I can't find a longer version of this at the moment but he's at some point pretty aggressively calling out the hecklers alleged "pacifism".
It's the voters responsibility to vote and to make an informed decision. Or to formulate it differently: You get what you vote for.
And your analogy makes no sense either, unless you're saying voters are controlled little drones that can't do anything without user input.
At that point you wouldn't need to form the coalition in the first place. They tried, that's fair. But they should've stopped this much sooner. I bet all the leaks back then were also all from Lindner. He and the FDP acted way too entitled for being the smallest coalition partner.
Because it's a two party system there. You either get Trump, or you get Harris. So running around and arguing that potential Harris voters didn't vote for her because she (according to you) may does very lightweight variants of what Trump would do 500x times worse, is just bullshit. You don't like Harris supporting Israel, so you vote for Trump? What do you think Trump will do? The guy asked if they can't just nuke the entire middle east. So if you don't want Trump, you would've had to vote for Harris. Anything else would be in support of Trump. That's how it works in the US.
