Again and again, I see the notion that humanity is committing "collective suicide" because we are not acting on #ClimateChange and other forms environmental destruction.

I do not accept this thesis. This is not suicide, it is murder - perpetrated by the oligarchs of this world and others who want the #FossilFuel economy going for their own profit.

And they have invested _massive_ amounts of money into propaganda to keep this system running. Not just by funding climate change denial - but also by promoting the concept of the individual "carbon footprint". Essentially, they have socialized the risks and privatized the profits, tricking us into believing that _we_ are to blame for not doing enough as individual persons, rather than _them_ for creating and perpetrating the system.

This is part of the "personal responsibility" ideology pushed by those who already own most of the world, but still want more. If _we_ as individuals share in the blame for _their_ decisions, even though _they_ gain all the benefits from them and we do not, then that means we would have to fight _ourselves_ to save the world - rather than the true villains of this story.

So let's put the accountability where it belongs, okay?

A forest bunker, set into the hillside; it has been covered with a gold texture. Before it, crouched in the leaf-litter, is a figure in fatigues aiming a gigantic rifle. The figure the head of a millionaire from a Gilded Age editorial cartoon, wearing Oakley tactical glasses. The gun has also been gilded.

@pluralistic To what extent is there a widespread awareness that elites _want_ a climate crisis to purge the planet of bad people (mainly brown people)?

Security consulting firms persuaded them their fortunes will protect them in a +2C world. #climatePurge
