#TheComingFossilistInsurrection

Oil "refiners in some of the world’s wealthiest countries may soon also face shortages. 'Refineries in Europe and the US will also have to cut runs from next month to share the pain of the shortage.'"

Imagine: no fuel at the pumps - in Germany. Riots galore...

"Fuel price protests in #Ireland almost brought the country to a halt last week, leading the government to call in the army. Ireland is likely to be just the 1st country to experience this kind of turmoil..."

"Higher jet fuel prices are here to stay, & a prolonged war in Iran will hit global travel demand."

That's a problem, bc for folks in the North, "cheap air travel" is part of the "normality" they are starting to defend.

2026 will be defined by:

1. The escalation of direct #climatecollapse-effects, pushed by the super El Nino that's coming.

2. #TheComingFossilistInsurrection:
"'Even if the strait reopens tomorrow, markets will not return to normal for at least 6 months', & in some cases it could take much longer.”

Warum so viele KĂ€mpfe um Energiepreise? Weil der Energiepreis der Preis der Natur ist. Und im Kollaps wird Natur halt knapper. Daher steigt ihr Preis. Und der aller anderer Waren, einschließlich Geld und Arbeitskraft.

Also mehr KĂ€mpfe. #TheComingFossilistInsurrection

Die Wucht des kommenden fossilistischen Aufstands wird enorm sein:

7/7

Which takes me back to the beginning: society will not want to actively "repress" these protests, as they are enforcing society's self-given rules. These rules are: we shut up and help capital destroy the world, if we get some nice shiny trinkets and cheap mobility along the way.

#TheComingFossilistInsurrection will be a consumer, not a workers revolt, so will come from a place, from a subject that we on the left verdrÀng, as we're embarrassed by how easily manipulated the consumer is. The consumer wants what it's been promised, NOT the revolution.

#TheComingFossilistInsurrection will mobilise society's most treasured desire: that things may stay the way they are, or were, in some perfect, imagined past.

That's why #AfD can promise this: "Ein Liter Sprit fĂŒr einen Euro verspricht die Partei."

It will be another step on the way to hell.

#TheComingFossilistInsurrection will go very differently than our antifossilist movement did. A short đŸ§”

"Over the course of 3 days, protesters had brought much of #Ireland to a standstill. NOT 1 protester had been arrested nor a vehicle removed."
