I’m sorry, what? The entire American west is becoming unlivable, Canada is burning to ashes, poisoning tens of millions of people across the continent, a hirricane just hit Californis, an entire fucking city just got wiped off the map in Hawaii, and western Europe is going to go into freefall when the impending collapse of tbe Atlantic currents drastically ravages their climate.

But sure, tell me more about how being in a developed country is going to save us when there’s no fucking food and everything is on fire.

“If you like eating at restaursnts once in a while, you deserve not to be able to afford to eat!”

Fuck off, prick.

The lucky ones will be dead. I don’t expect that surviving the collapse is going to be a desirable option.

Next lesson: Oops, there aren’t better employers.

The fact that “don’t work off the clock” and “don’t do work you aren’t getting paid for” are genuinely needed bits of advice rather than absurdly obvious common sense should radicalize all workers.

Some are afraid, others don’t know how, others feel like there’s no use in trying. A whole lot buy into the American exceptionalism propaganda that gets shoved down our throats from birth and think there’s nothing wrong with this country and that the people who are suffering deserve it, and that the people who want to make it better are literally trying to destroy it for Satan, or for the Jews, or for the reptilians.

I do support that, at least morally. In practice, a bunch of disorganized, untrained, and poorly equipped people who are already struggling to get by day to day are not going to win a fight against human history’s most powerful police and military force on its own home territory.

Because that’s not the government works. The populace doesn’t choose who the candidates are, introduce legislation, or (with relatively rare exceptions) vote on it directly.
