      Many of us got ourselves fixed back in the 2010’s when climate change was getting obvious but political directions were more uncertain. Back then, I also assumed the worlds governments would eventually wake up to climate change and collectively steer us into a better direction.

      Admittiedly, my decision was primarily personal but the looming changes of the world were definitely a factor.

      People still don’t see that the opposition party is controlled, influenced, by the fascists, and that under their leadership this was always going to result. Even now, and they are led to aggressively attack anyone fighting for winnable candidates pushing popular reform that would undo the plutocratic rot that enables fascists to run as reform.

      There is not getting through to them, although to be sure the internet is full of fakes and many such accounts are fake, and many chatbots are faking en masse, But many are real. We have maybe one more chance in the succession fight to take it back, and all indications are we are going to throw it with newsom or some other worthless aristocrat.
