    I swear, we have got to be the dumbest goddamn species in existence. We have a beautiful thriving planet, and are actively trying to silence the people trying to save it, all the while cheering on fake increasingly volatile paper money schemes, and we call it the economy. We have one fucking planet, no plan B, and they think they’re cool intimidating people for not wanting to be boiled alive.

      Ironically it’s the typical rich countries you’d see statistics of doing most environment damage

      A new wave of government censorship is sweeping across the globe as countries are increasing their crackdowns on climate activism.

      From The Cool Down, AUKUS being the usual ones (i’m not going to mention the obvious ones like Saudi Arabia because it’s not news they crackdown on protests in general). There’s an interesting article “COP29: repression epidemic regarding climate activists and human rights defenders” from last year by Climate Network worthy a read regarding that.

      I’d not be surprised multiple scrutiny attempts aimed (including from bot farms) at climate activists on social media to be financed by those said countries and oil companies at this point

        Given that it’s almost exclusively the wealthy that own yachts, I’ll take some unexpected nautical allies.
