I am writing this in a camper in an RV park as I monitor the cameras in my house and wonder if and when my shit will get wrecked. The truth is that WE did this through inaction. Yes the political class is to blame but so is most of the rest of the human race. We have destroyed our own home. We are a plague.

I know I am

What Political Class? This was Caused by DEMOCRATS! That’s MUCH Easier to Believe then the past Half Century of Scientists Warning us this EXACT Thing would happen in our Lifetime if we didn’t make Changes and then we DIDNT make Changes!

Peter Kalmus climate scientist, “The thing that I hammer on over and over again because it’s the bedrock for this whole thing, is that the fossil fuel industry is the primary cause. […] Any solution or basket of solutions that are proposed as a pathway out of this that doesn’t center the ending of the fossil fuel industry as quickly as we can is bullshit, and it’s probably worse than bullshit… The laws of physics guarantee that it will get much too fucking hot if we keep burning fossil fuels. So, pardon my language, but I don’t know what it’s going to take. I’m really disappointed because I thought that at this level of heating, of obviousness, of disaster, that everyone would wake up and realize that none of our hopes and dreams will come to fruition if we don’t have a habitable planet.”

The political class…how incredibly short sighted. Yes of course you should be furious at the political class, but you should be more angry at the ruling class of capitalists that control the political class. Shell oil invented climate science, they predicted all of this back in the late 70s, and then they knowingly covered it up. They invented climate science and then they invented climate change denial.

The ruling capitalist class can’t change course, and they can’t run society any longer. The profit motive is no way to organize society, that should be abundantly clear to anyone with eyes. Yes the political class who covered for companies committing environmental destruction should pay, as well as the ineffectual political class who played nice and told you to vote all these years so they could fundraise off of these issues.

There needs to be a new political class composed of us, the working class, who can combat these careerists and grifters directly by seizing control of the factories and forging a new rational system that can meet peoples needs and launch human society into the future, not keep it mired in the old incentives and systems that destroy it.

We can’t vote our way out of this, by no possible metric is it possible. We need new forms of democracy and political engagement. For decades they told us if you recycled you could fix this. They were lying. Noone is coming to save us we have to save ourselves, but together as one. Please.

In my experience, groups of people will ignore inconvenient but correct answers until the problem explodes into their collective faces.

“The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” – George Orwell

What the heck is a “political class?” I get what it’s trying to say, but people just use the word class to refer to any group of people, and not what it’s meant to be used for (relations to production).

If I got furious every time the political class did something stupid I’d never stop being furious, and that’s no way to live.

I am furious.

I play the “I told you so” card whenever I can, with a proactive and self-reliant spin.

We were hit with a climate intensified storm and lost our home, We moved and were hit again, but less severely, thanks to storm hardening our new home.

This summer, I put in a tornado/hurricane shelter on our small plot. When I showed the FEMA plans to the code enforcers, showing how I was hardening all of our home, garage, and shed, the entire department came to look at the plans. I’m enough of a nerd to appreciate the group of engineers is ooohing and ahhing a common sense solution.

I harden and storm proof, and have put in solar, and drive electric. It does not happen in a day, but step by step, can get better. I cannot change my state and their politics. (they are MAGA), but that does not mean that I have to roll over. I can lead by example, and I can make sure that my family can thrive after the storm

No. I’m angry at, I guess the Dems or Jews, for using their space lasers to create a hurricane to attack the poor, peaceful, MAGA people of Florida.

There is so much to be furious about, even as bad as climate issues are, it’s just one more goddamn thing to be pissed off about our politics.
