Extreme weather is our new reality. We must accept it and begin planning | Gaia Vince
www.theguardian.com
As wildfires, floods, droughts and record-breaking temperatures have shown, the post-climate change era has arrived. Now we need honesty and action from our leaders

I see little acceptance and little planning. Just… blame immigrants, and grow the economy, that seems to be the mantra that’s won out.

    Advocating for violence, regardless of reason, is sick. And a danger to Lemmy instances.

      Clearly false.

      A man is threatening to shoot everyone inside a school. Are you not going to advocate force be used to stop him?

      A far right group has risen to power in a nation. They are moving people into extermination camps. Are you not okay with fighting back?

      Ten people are stranded on an island. One man has all the food and water, enough so everyone can survive until help arrives. He won’t share. Should the other 9 die of starvation, or take the supplies by force to share them more equally?

        They are moving people into extermination camps.

        No they’re not.

        Your “revolution” won’t happen. Things are going to stay just the way they are. There will be no one rising up to eat the rich. America isn’t going to descend into chaos. Luigi will get sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison and he’ll be a forgotten footnote.

        Lemmy is ridiculous about revolution. No one is going rise up and to do what you want them to, bruh.

          It was a hypothetical scenario to demonstrate cases where violence is appropriate.

          In other words, there is no reason whatsoever, in your mind, where violence is appropriate. I gave an argument where violence would be appropriate. Do you disagree? Stay on topic.

            I’ve given you my answer. This isn’t a discussion I’ll have. Get over it. Advocating for violence, regardless of reason, is sick.

              Then you’re a fool, but I hope if it came down to it you wouldn’t go peacefully to a death camp. Maybe it’s too much to hope that you’d step up for your neighbors.
