Well, there it is

I’m just going to leave this here, for no reason in particular. https://youtube.com/watch?v=m1lhGqNCZlA

Unrelated, but there needs to be a “Mr Choppy” gif for replies to this meme in particular.

For anyone unaware of the context, the political compass is literally fash propaganda intended to appropriate the word “libertarian” from the left, creating the illusion of an antiauthoritarian capitalism. And it worked.

Context matters. The US isn’t trying to greenwash anything right now. It’s external image has completely collapsed. Meanwhile, China is working really hard on it’s external image.

I agree though that the US is one of the most internally propagandized country. Chinese propaganda also operates differently. In China, propaganda comes from the state and corporations are extensions of the government. In the US, media is controlled by corporations and the government is an extension of the corporations.

But the context was on clean energy, and Chinese greenwashing propaganda is ahead of the US.

I was really hoping for a different type of ICE car to be on fire…

The US is much more fragile than it seems. It was able to dominate the world by leveraging control of oil and currency to maintain the internal caste system. Fascism is expensive though, and it’s already choking.

Genocide is a last gasp to maintain power. There is no way to prevent revolution, so the right is flailing. They believe that if they reestablish the “demographic distribution” that existed at their height, they can maintain power. Basically, they think they can ethnically cleanse the US back to the right. But that can’t work. Nothing can possibly work because it’s all over for them. So yeah, the US isn’t going to last much longer… Especially now that they’ve nuked the soft power they used for so long to keep everything in check.

“But I’ve been indemnified!” yelled the oil ghoul as he was carried off to be burned at the stake by pitchfork wielding pesants…

China is the same, but better at propaganda. There can be no centralized solution.

In Parable of the Sower, only the rich drive cars and those are basically armored vehicles… Which Octavia Butler predicted in 1993. Still on track for that I see.

Well, lobbying in the US means “bribing” and if you’re just going to talk to them without money in hand they don’t give a fuck. Since the film is set in the US, that kind of matters. Lobbying against oil anywhere in the world is basically just ignored. Again, direct action gets the goods.

Lobbying is “begging for permission” from people who have been paid to not care. “Direct action gets the goods.”

Related, there’s actually a rundown on a bunch of the opsec problems with it: https://anarchist-archive.org/library/en/hakan-geijer-popsec-how-not-to-blow-up-a-pipeline

It’s a good story, and would be extremely bad to follow as a recipe. But it would be a good movie to watch with a very small group of like-minded friends.

Wow, I really hope no one writes “How to Blow Up a Fractionating Column With a $20 Drone.” Pipelines are pretty easy to mass produce, but attacks on distillation towers like we’ve seen come out of Ukraine can knock out a refinery for years.

Behold, the eco fascist in the wild, promoting mass murder as a solution to something that can only be solved with cooperation.

Edit: There are extremely specific people who would benefit the world by ceasing to exist, and those people are billionaires. There are way to make billionaires not exist other then killing them.

The United States will cease to exist well before 2035.

Don’t look up.
