When were the regulations signed in though? In an era different from today. Without major reform or minor revolution we wouldn’t be able to get back to that era.

wow I want some of whatever psychedelic you’re on. That shit would never happen. Any Democrat that the oligarchs allowed to get elected would never do anything that actually threatens their economic interest.

I don’t know why I’m even surprised anymore. Of course they would try this shit. Fucking Cruz and every single Republican needs to go to prison. Also most establishment Democrats too.

Yeah but that ball should be a bunch of billionaires and banking corporations, along with the API members. It’s not the coal/oil/gas itself that’s ultimately the problem, it’s the people fucking over society for their own profit.

Yeah I’m well aware of Rojava, Spain, and the Zapatistas. Think about the entire culture of the West, do you think anarchism would spread further than a few percent of the population?

Side note: if you’re not already aware you’d probably like the Cool Zone Media podcast network (Behind the Bastards, Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, It Could Happen Here, etc.)

Again, that sounds great in a random comment online, but take that line of thinking to ground.

What does that actually look like? It will inevitably be violent. Historically, based on every revolution or attempt at revolution, the end result is worse than the starting point. The most dangerous, violent, charismatic person makes it to the top and they become a dictator.

There’s no mechanism to ensure we actually end up in the desired point. Too many variables that are unaccounted for, even in Halam’s like 40-part lecture series. It all sounds great but it’s not realistic.

I’ve been following Roger for a while, and I agree with most of what he’s saying in theory. In spirit I’m a revolutionist, but in practice I’m probably more of a reformist. The scale of the change we need is so massive that there will never be a critical mass of people to make the changes needed. That just means that smaller groups will need to have bigger effects, and even though we’re aiming for complete change, even if we only get 50% of the way there that’s still much better than it is now.

yeah I meant something else with my original comment…

It’s only a matter of time until people get upset enough from extreme weather…
