I get on a weekly basis whatsapp conspiracy shit about how 15 minute cities will steal our freedom and Bill Gates plans a totalitarian surveillance state.
I agree that there are some conspirationists you can't calculate in your equation because they are so absurdly creative.
But one of the problems I see is that, after significant popular and scientific pressure, some elites start to embrace certain green capitalism tech-fix compatible ideas. And it is difficult to trust them, as the dynamics of accumulating/concentrating wealth are not necessarily aligned with social and environmental interests of people that consider themselves not profiting from these developments. Think about green areas im cities promoting gentrification, large-scale renewable energy projects vs biodiversity, digitalization and connectedness to improve energy efficiency...
From a 'realist' perspective we need to acknowledge that capital and power are needed for a quick transition, and that these forces usually don't give anything for free.
But we stumble as society from one crisis to the next, lacking a positive, proactive vision for an ecosocial transformation.
But also on the other hand with any idea good we come up, some rightwing-conspiracy pops up and is amplified through the mechanisms we know social media, politicians and awfully bad corporate media...
(Haha. I agree totally with @Loukas)
