As another massive hurricane bears down on Florida, let’s remember that our climate is worsening for entirely preventable reasons and the scale of these disasters is not “natural.”

Calling them “the political class” instead of “the rich” seems like you’re trying to sow seeds of distrust for the government and politicians. But it’s in our power or have effective representative government that provides services and protection for all citizens. We need to stop the exploitation by the rich.

And they fucking deserve it.

When the political class are financed by, and work in service of the rich, they are just as much a part of the problem. The idea that a system designed by those in power to maintain their power would ever enable those without it to affect meaningful change by following the rules is so far beyond ridiculous, it really is a testament to the power of their propaganda that people genuinely believe in it.

The state is not your friend

As an Anarchist and an Environmentalist, fuck government and politicians.

Don't distrust them, actively hate them.

We keep setting record breaking fossil fuel production records and neither candidate wants to ban fracking...

Even tho the battleground states they're supposedly doing anything to win over like Pennsylvania has the majority of voters in support of banning it.

There's two much money from fossil fuel corporations flowing to both parties for either to actually do anything

Vote for Trump and he’ll prevent this from happening ever again.

E: Looking at the vote counts, I think some of you might have missed the sarcasm in this post. Oh well, should have added that /s somewhere in there.
