@StillIRise1963 Counter: Frankly, it means that ANY SYSTEM that posits that food and housing are not inherent rights, is working as designed. @StillIRise1963 Nobody - NOBODY - needs that much money. It needs more airtight legislation than that to prevent rich fuckers abusing loopholes, and it needs to be done internationally so that they can't just fuck off to another country and be parasites there, but there should be a law that puts an absolute wealth ceiling on people so that there cannot be any billionaires. Anything beyond that ceiling would just go to the government for use in social projects and stuff. Have you told your kids you're sorry for dooming them by doing nothing about climate change and fascism yet?

@StillIRise1963 Fascism with the reality of climate change is a real and frightening possibility. We creep closer every day, we don't address the #ClimateEmergency properly. I just published an article today about where we're heading. It doesn't address fascism, but that could be a subject soon. We're in deep shit. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/stratospheric-aerosol-injection-earths @StillIRise1963 I feel like changing our direction is like pushing the bow of a super tanker with a feather to try to turn it round. Especially since the crew on the bridge keep to their charted course by correcting wherever necessary. Eliminating the crew has legal implications but seems to be the only option. Hearts and minds is 'nicer' but we don't have time. I'm not apologising for not shooting crew members. It's not even possible to mount an effective protest any more in the UK. @StillIRise1963 My kids know I have been fighting battles against the dumbing down of the world and creeping fascism for decades. I want humans to answer my questions, so I'll always hit the "0" key until someone answers. Fuck your automated menu. I'm watching Jaws, and find myself at this juncture of my life rooting for the shark.

@StillIRise1963 that movie gave sharks such a bad rep. They rarely bite humans intentionally and kill even less often. And many types enjoy pets (please please take all precautions if youβre going to pet a shark, they are still predators). Now dolphins? Those guys are dicks. @StillIRise1963 |
