nightmare in america [View all]

I can no longer fathom the mediocrity of our country's leadership, it's failure to address the climate catastrophe now clear with any program sufficient to the problems at hand. Human extinction is now a certainty within the medium term, and there seems nothing we can do about, or will do about it. The Paris meeting clearly will be as much a failure as its preparatory meetings have been.

I get nauseous even looking at demo underground's posts, most all about subjects completely trivial as nature's bomb is set to explode in a cloud of poisonous methane -- the earth will literally fart in the face of humanity. It's shocking to me DU doesn't have a climate change forum, it's the "environment" how antisceptic.

I blame practically everyone for their WILLFUL STUPIDITY. I am daily depressed that we are not screaming from rooftops that we are self destructing quite rapidly. Instead, let's talk about the new star wars episode, shall we, who's going to die?

I see elsewhere in this forum not to advocate for complete cessation of all industrial activity. Not to stabilize our emissions. Not to forgo all the complete horseshit we have today for "advanced" societies which give us star wars movies. That we are to create and distribute and consume these movies in a "green conscious" manner. Really? You think that will save us?

Oh yes, we're an exceptional nation alright, Bushes Clintons Reagans and many others...
We're exceptionally obscene, a pornographic perverted debauched nation.
