What a fucked up lifetime of being betrayed and sold out by "the adults in the room"

I'm sure every generation feels this way but goddamn if that does not capture the moment. The problems have been apparent for decades, but no, we must always stay the course and be afraid of doing too much for fear of only helping our enemies. Staying the course hasn't seemed to be hurting them.

I'm pretty sure not every generation feels this way, because we have been massively fucked over, completely fucked, absolutely thrown under the bus.

And I'm not just talking about the Supreme Court here, although it's related. it's climate change, pollution, the USA system, the global political system, and climate change one more time for the people in the back

I think people really don't understand the risks we're facing with climate change

As someone with long experience of warning decision-makers about extreme climate risks, I absolutely agree. Scarily, it's the well-to-do corporate types most convinced it won't hurt them. And they are so wrong

No previous ruling class threatened global ecosystems and global damage to the Earth's carrying capacity that would last for millennia. Our current ruling class is the worst ever to exist.

Don't forget the financial collapse. Foreign policy (Iraq). Gun control... It's almost like pubic sentiments don't have any effect on policy outcomes

Kind of a big order to change the entire world. What small things can people do to start?
