@dyckron@cosocial.ca I’m Gen X. Once Reagan’s and Thatcher’s ideas took hold I realized this too, just as I was leaving high school. My kids try to tell me about the dread of climate change. I understand but I grew up with the threat of nuclear annihilation. I’d rather die in a 20 megaton blast than the slow collapse of climate catastrophe. But we are both being desiccated by Epstein-class capitalism.

@ChrisCorrigan@cosocial.ca reminds me of the Einstein quote "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

@ChrisCorrigan@cosocial.ca @dyckron@cosocial.ca Don't worry, we may yet get BOTH! ....Urgh. No, we do have agency actually. Learned helplessness and despair are the death cult's first line weapons. Sadistic bastards. Build soil. Build community. Hang in there.
