    This is not really the community for doomer sci-fi. And I don’t think it’s particularly healthy to consume it. It just demotivates people who are (or would be) fighting for a better future.

    we have failed to stop climate change

    So far. But there is no definitive end point. We know the future is going to be rougher than the present but that is all.

    This is the horrifying and inevitable future because of neoliberalism

    And neoliberalism can’t be beat?

      Fair enough. When I said we don’t have the tools that is what I meant. Decades of disinformation, instead we hide and censor the truth and terrible consequences, and now prefer the comforting idea of good vs evil.

      But the numbers don’t lie: 1.2 billion climate refugees by 2050. We’re still tracking very near the worst case GHG emission pathway. There is no way voters will accept another wave of refugees.

      And neoliberalism can’t be beat?

      For many, fascism is the answer.
      Europe has already outsourced the refugee problem by letting Lybia sell the refugees as slaves.
      Or look at France, the neoliberals would prefer to work with fascists instead of social democrats/socialists. They believe in nothing.

      The things we would have to do are impossible. Things like degrow our economy and lower our GDP, radical reorganization of how we live and work and lower working hours, produce sustainable goods, abolishing patents that slow down sustainable adaptation, ban adverting and redistribute land. And help other countries with solidarity instead of exploitation.

      Who exactly has this program “to fight for a better future”?

      Instead we’re rearming for war and started a new cold war with bad China. Talking about peace gets you branded a traitor. How could we not see a rise in fascism?
