People all over world know that this civilization is rotten, corrupt an doomed. They instinctively know that we face a moral crisis of values. But they feel trapped by a whole range of things, not least the convenience and ease of corrupt lifestyles. Big Tech and Big Consumer feeds off the worst of us. Big Tech thinks our base instincts will always triumph over our good nature.

One step at a time, we must break away from the Growth Death Cult. Resistance is slowing down, being kind.

The very first step is recognizing the options made for us we are made to choose from.

Option A boil and poison the planet with the global economy, using fossil fuels
Option B boil and poison the planet with global economy using renewables

It’s not the energy source;” it’s the economy stupid”

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Exactly. The longer we are trapped in this comfortable illusion that we can have 'renewable' energy, 'green' growth, green transitions or whatever, the longer we put our boot down faster and harder on the accelerator to environmental collapse.
@gerrymcgovern @GhostOnTheHalfShell Either Capitalism dies very soon, or we all die. It's that simple.
