I posted on Facebook about hurricane Helene hitting Asheville North Carolina and how climate change resulted in one of the most severe storms and disasters we have ever seen in American history. This public school teacher in Florida proceeded to message me privately to tell me that climate change is fake, and how I need to get real because climate change supposedly had nothing to do with Western North Carolina looking like the setting for the next season of Fallout TV series. There’s no other way to put it, honestly. I have seen so many pictures and videos of the damage, it is simply astonishing. I have never seen something so gruesome and horrific in my whole life…
It’s honestly crazy that there are teachers, who are responsible for educating other people, and this is the kind of stuff that they are telling people.
Starve the Beast. The conservatives use it for everything. Run on government not working, and then working to dismantle government to prove it.
The important follow-up is to rinse/repeat. This doesn’t stop until the wealth redistribution does, and we regress to corporate town serfdom.
The people that vote for this want their elected government to be so small they’ll be ruled by corporate overlords solely interested in extracting their wealth.
