I’m not an american, but this is a global problem. “We” didn’t educate properly our people, and this is the result. We elected the people we deserve, and those are some greedy fucks.
Tragedy of the commons. Even if, and when people realize the problem; no country will act because other countries aren’t acting. I have hope we will act, I’m afraid it may be too late.
I live in France and we missed our chance last year, so now it’s 4 more years of useless climate politics. But the chance of change is improving with each election, and with the current climate events, more people should be aware of this. The country is pretty stressed right now, I wonder if we’ll see a radical change before the next election. We’ll see…
In America, you have to search for what’s actually going on in France. Even then, it’s sparse and not in depth. Europeans in general seem to be more climate aware then Americans. And we need this behemoth of ignorant Yankees to become aware before any meaningful change will come. Are you doing okay there?
In France, you also have to search to understand what’s going on ;)
I would say the show in the US was happening right in front of everyone’s eyes, Trump is a buffoon and he couldn’t hide it.
But what’s happening in France right now is quite the same, but Macron doesn’t look like a buffoon. Him and his government are lying openly on television. We have a media problem, and cops assaulting protesters since Yellow Jackets, everyday looks more and more like an authoritarian regime…
And Macron wasn’t the right president to manage the ecological transition.
This neoliberal capitalism won the battle, but the people will eventually win the war. France seems to be the vanguard. Change has to start somewhere.
That’s the spirit ;)
Hopefully it will happen before it’s too late, with climate looming in a not-so-far future.
Conservatives did this. They continue to protect corporate interests to profit from our deaths. Conservatism is a plague of death and should be erased.
