"There is no example yet of a non-violent #socialmovement delivering an epochal transfer of power from the obscenely wealthy few to the many. Yet this #transition is the only way to prevent #runawayclimate and #socialbreakdown - which will themselves bring terrible violence."

There have been *that* many #crashes in #Essex in last few weeks alone my own relatives (who live in SE England) were worried about my safety #driving back through the area after the lunar new year celebration (even though most of the #collisions are in towns/cities rather than on the #A12 highway (although there have been incidents there too).

@breadandcircuses Absolutely spot-on here. My own family is an endorsement of your statement: I have three children, two of them married. Both have chosen not to have children so as not to bring any innocents into the nightmare that's coming.

For over 50 years now, I have mostly voted right of centre. Given the issues we have across the globe such as #climatechange #inequity #socialbreakdown and others, which arise from overexploitation of natural resources and ecosystems, could someone who supports #capitalism please explain to me how a system that relies on perpetual growth can be sustainable and just? The world has finite resources to sustain life and limited capacity to absorb harm. The more I think about it, the lefter I lean.
