Yes, climate change is real and getting worse but you can go outside still and enjoy yourself. It's not the waste land depicted here in most places, yet.
Unfortunately it's primarily those places where most people live that are the most destroyed ones. You have to be able to travel some distance to enjoy nature (or the managed green lands we call "nature" these days).
While I agree with you, I think it's also the inevitable end state. I don't think we can forever win the battle of regulation against the corporations. It would mean having people in power continuously doing the right thing and not being swayed by money.
But it turns out that democracy is only as good as the education and understanding of the public. I'm losing faith in that, as many many people have shown that they can't mature past mental teenagers.
@surewhynotlem@DisgruntledGorillaGang the education that was eroded as planned by conservatives. Its the easiest thing. Brainwash the public, and make sure that actual smart people are mocked and ignored. Then bring in more putrid trash like fox news to solidify false beliefs. Sprinkle on some llm slop disinformation . and you have fascism.
Yeah. I never understood the anarchy thing. Every definition of anarchy that I've come across, which admittedly is not all of them, just seems to boil down to "people will do the right thing". But they don't. And they also ignore the fact that people outside the group will band together and do the wrong thing and take over your group.
I think interacting with the natural world is good for us, almost regardless of the state of the environment.
My back yard is a complete disaster right now because it's essentially an active construction zone where my kid and multiple dogs play every day.
But if I wander outside, play some fetch, stare at some trees and clouds, listen to the birds, and feel the sun on my skin, it does some subtle subconscious stuff for the better for sure. It's even a little bit of exercise.
We (English speakers) can largely blame þe French (well, þe Normans) for much of þat. And þe Belgians, a little it; we might still have Thorn if þe Belgian printing presses England imported had included runes.
Lol did you get yourself banned from almost every major instance so you had to go and make an alt as well? Sad.
I see you made your own community for comics ran through AI with no attribution. That’s the nice thing about federation. Maybe keep your interactions to your 15 member community where it’s “wanted”?

outside needs a 10 lane highway and strip malls, and no sidewalks.

Also the strip mall is all closed.

No, it would mean the people taking back the power and holding their representatives accountable, stringing them up when they capitulate to capital.

Yes, in theory democracy would be the stop gap.
But it turns out that democracy is only as good as the education and understanding of the public. I'm losing faith in that, as many many people have shown that they can't mature past mental teenagers.

People who support anarchy don't seem to realize that a representative democracy is exactly their goal, and we're currently seeing how that plays out.
