Yeah, the average proletariat. I still have hope for us but, this is accurate.

One of the things I've realized over the past couple of days is that when people talk about the economy, they're not always talking about the same thing. When a normal person talks about it, it's things like the cost of goods and housing, when the media and politicians and ultra-wealthy talk about it, they mean rich people's yacht money - and one of the the problems is many people don't realize those aren't the same thing and at this point of our late stage capitalist hellscape both meanings are opposed to each other. Rich people's yacht money is now coming from increasing the cost of things we need to survive.

Yeah, it's sad that the climate was a blip on the radar in this election. People think their wallets are empty now, just wait until climate change really gets going.

we dont need to worry about the climate anymore. We'd be lucky to survive the next decade.

It's because the average person cannot conceptualize an existential threat. Hell, even I can't really conceive of how badly climate change is gonna fuck up my life, but I listen to the people smarter than me telling me it will.

The more we head down the drain the more I look to the lives that people in developing nations lead and think “huh, I guess we’re going for equality by making everything worse instead of better. Awesome.”

It’s not gunna be great.

It's such a distant issue that need immediate action people won't realise it untill it's too late to save the economy.

That meteor is clearly an immigrant. They need to come here the right way. We need to build a meteor wall and make space pay for it.

The first thing I thought to myself when I woke up on Wednesday and found out was "I hope they get exactly what they voted for".
