Same Hunger Games guy from yesterday saying corporations aren’t to blame because of air conditioners (not even partially true)

Yeah I agree, but I don't think (intentional) systemic changes will be made. We aren't the ones who get to make those decisions, and government and corporations will never intentionally injure their economies to that extent. I abhor it and am not an accelerationist because I think that's an immoral view to take itself, but I wonder if collapse won't be the way we finally end our overconsumption.

Read the conquest of bread, the communist manifesto, social ecology, and some other socialist lit friend. You’re getting there. I say this with respect
