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.

Call me when they go full on 1970’s urban guerilla and start kidnapping and executing oil execs, blowing up pipelines, and robbing banks that fund the industry. I honestly would be amazed if anything less worked.

In functional societies, leaving the house isn’t a terrifying or stressful thing. It’s actually nice. Shopping in functional countries isn’t horrible because you aren’t going through space designed around cars to stuff warehouses designed around cars.

Trains, metro, trams, and occasionally busses for mass transit. Bikes and microcars for individual transit.

Pretty sure the future isn’t every person carrying around multiple tons of steel with them every time they need some milk. The push isn’t to full sized electric cars, it’s to electric bikes and micro cars. But yes, China is doing both and the US auto Industry will collapse because it doesn’t care that people don’t want to drive something bigger than a tank.

It will not, but it will destroy everything it built and make capitalism impossible.

Then yeah, also congrats on not being American.

Oh, do you happen to have a military? That’s actually a big chunk of the reason Americans have such a high carbon footprint… That and an entire society built around making it almost impossible to live without a car.

Oh, you should stop by Amsterdam.
