"No one wants to work anymore"

(camera pans to a vast field of skulls in a scorching desert covering the entire southern hemisphere)

I get a weird spasm of pure rage when people compare climate change to nukes (not calling you out here, my issue is with people who attempt to minimize it with "I lived through the cold war and nuclear bomb drills" when dismissing climate angst) because the threat of nuclear war is inverted compared to climate change: nuclear war requires people to do it willfully. Climate change requires people to do nothing. We're already locked in. We are on the trajectory. If climate apocalypse can be compared to nuclear apocalypse then in this analogy the nukes are already in flight.

And to add even more to it: we still have nukes! We did not get rid of the nukes! You think a world with ecological and resource instability is going to be less inclined to use nukes than the half century of massive industrialization and economic growth after WW2? I would sleep better at night if I was that blessedly naive.

Oh and as for the "we did nuclear drills" shit... kids have school shooter drills. So just.. fuck those minimizers and their bullshit arguments. I hate them. So much.

Sorry for derailing in your Haiti thread but God almighty it strikes a chord in me when I see that kinda shit. So to bring it back to the original topic I believe these people absolutely will support walls and barb wire, auto turrets, guards with shoot-to-kill orders, the sinking of migrant boats with sea mines and naval weaponry. The whole arsenal will be deployed to ensure they are the last ones to feel the full weight of how much they fucked this planet up. And they will abdicate their responsibility while we all spiral into man-made hell and the 'christian missionaries' among them will solemnly hold out their palms in supplication and say "We're sorry, I guess it was God's will this happened."

Why do you think both parties are so adamant about bolstering and militarizing the southern border? And reactionary Europeans and their media advocating the same and fomenting fascist petty-bourgeois hatred over it? The refugee and immigrant 'crises' that they're lashing out against and fomenting panic and hate over right now is nothing compared to what the ruling class of the global north know is coming as a result of their incapability and refusal to lift their collective foot from the gas, as we are all turning to see the cliff in the rear window.

I say arm all climate refugees. They already are talked about and treated, and are increasingly going to be, as if they're an "invading army" by fascists and Liberals-pretending-not-to-be-fascists anyway. And if they organized as one in deliberate political action, it would almost certainly be the most justified "invasion" that has ever happened in the history of humanity.
