Neoliberalism can’t solve the climate crisis. We need activism.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

The crisis is in motion... There is no ending it... Removing ourselves from the equation, and stopping all the damage we do on a daily basis, wouldn't slow it down more than a few months at this point. We can affect how bad things get before our extinction, but arguing politics won't change a fucking thing.
How could you possibly know this? Do you think despair helps anything?
Doomers want to justify their inaction by pretending that nothing can be done.
That’s a good point, which is why I try to walk a fine line: I think we’re royally screwed, BUT I still take action and behave as if I’m being overly pessimistic.
100% agree.
