We have to insist and point much louder, otherwise conservatives will push more scapegoating to maintain BAU.
The conservative hive mind goes like this.
- Deny climate change for decades and character assassinate anybody who tries to raise awareness about it.
- When denial is no longer tenable, abruptly decide to acknowledge climate change, but do not listen to ANYTHING anyone has been saying about how to mitigate climate change or how to best care collectively for humanity as massive changes hit the global climate system, ignore all the research and all the hard work. Put all your trust in ketamine fueled delusions from techbros about how we can solve climate change and tune the rest out. Also if you have ever wanted to embrace being an antisemite or racist against muslims or another group, now is the time baby!
- Focus and nurture your nihilism about the fact that at the end of the day what climate change means is Us VS. THEM.
- Hand power to whoever has the most emotionally satisfying and comprehensible story about who the THEM is and why it is all their fault so we should do violence against them while feeling no empathy for them (this is what true masculine warriors do no?) while absolving ourselves of the burdens of our sins we know at some level deep down are still yet lurking.
