TL;DR Far-right on the rise more or less everywhere based on the estimates, green parties on the decline. Let's just hope it will not get too dire consequences in the five years to come.
Even if in the next elections (2029!) greens would surge like crazy and the far right crumble, we lose sooo much valuable time within these 5 years now. It really is disheartening :(
Too much time. I literally cannot see how we can even push for actual policies now that would be needed. Time to work towards a speedy extinction instead I guess.
Indeed. What a setback. I will continue practicing individual climate action (!climate_action_individual@slrpnk.net), which is the only control we have now.
I've been doing that for many years, even though I'm already at the bottom of emission footprints due to being poor. It just does not matter when everyone else is rather opposed to actually do the same.
That is depressing.
Honestly the way society is currently looking, I fully expect to either be put in a concentration camp or murdered by some brownshirt-equivalent in the near-ish future. "Moderate" conservatives seem to have no problems collaborating with fascists
