Los Angeles is burning, the world has exceeded 1.5°C of warming (by quite some way) and Donald Trump has promised to "drill baby drill".
Why are we allowing the world to be destroyed by right-wing populists like Trump, Musk (and Farage if he could, I'm sure), and still continuing to subsidise fossil fuels? It's totally crazy.
@dave @zleap Corporate social media allows a handful of people shape reality. If we can't get people off of corporate social media, we'll never reverse the global shift to the far-right driven by those intent on burning everything in sight, which means we'll never solve the climate crisis.
Finding a way for all of us to get our family, friends, and colleagues off of services provided by Meta, X, TikTok and even YouTube, is the only way forward.
@dcdeejay @dave @zleap@qoto.org it’s more complicated than that. The vast majority of people* fear change and seek comforting falsehood so it’s not enough to get folks away from a lie-factory. They will simply find other ways to tell each other what they want to hear.
*I do include myself - yes very often I like to feel comfortable too. Let’s face it ALL of us of want our biases confirmed!
