About ten years ago a friend told me #ClimateCrisis activists were going about it all wrong. Stop talking about saving the environment, the environment will be just fine after we are dead and gone. What we are trying to save are humans. Human survival. Nobody cares about the environment. Asking people to draw that conclusion themselves is too much.
There has been a shift to talk about human survival lately but it keeps focusing on how poor people are disproportionately affected by #ClimateBreakdown as if the existence of capitalism itself isn't proof enough that the rich don't care how many poor people die.
We need to focus on the rich nations dying. The news sort of ignores it though. China getting flooded didn't really get in my radar much... But then it's those people, not real people... Just like how we thought covid affected those people up into Italy got hit.
Every instance of rich countries getting hit by #ClimateChange needs to be amplified out the wazoo on every social media platform we can. Then we need to talk to every RW crazy uncle, aunt, grandpa and if we can't convince them to vote for a good guy, discourage them from voting at all. Just shit talk about how everyone is bad and they should stay home. Do whatever you need to do. All is fair in love and war and this is a war on all our lives.
We need different strategies and we need to be all in this together. Let's stop attacking each other over minor differences while the oligarchs kill us.
