EU leaders fearmonger about immigration while neglecting the real and deadly threats posed by climate change. The entire Euro-Mediterranean region should collaborate on behalf of displaced persons, against fossil fuel giants, and toward decarbonization.
Reminder: If you aren't fighting conservatism, you aren't fighting climate change.
Conservatives are the henchmen of the biggest polluters on the planet. These polluters use conservatives (and neo-liberals) as their political and social shields. We cannot defeat the pollution lobby unless we first defeat their conservative henchmen in politics and in our daily lives.
Do your part by excluding conservatives from your daily life. Conservatism is vile and should be treated as such. It should be shunned from polite society and openly discussed as the grotesque, deadly plague that it is. Nothing good in history has ever come from conservatism. Nothing.
The challenge is that exclusion isn't necessarily the best way to shift views. People can and do change, particularly if you can encourage them to change their media diet or you can get somebody whom they respect to explicitly talk about climate.
Changing the views of a conservative is a lost cause. Such efforts are the distraction that corporate polluters are paying big money to achieve. The goal is not to change their views, but to separate them from intelligent civilization. Let them live the way they demand to live. Poorly. If they become introspective and curious about the world, it is there for them to learn about. But that process comes from within. In the meantime, we must not be dragged down by conservatives. We should exclude them and move past them on a societal and commercial scale.
Conservative or progressive is often associated with political party's.
E.g., if the evidence suggests we should take a precautionary approach & not gamble the stability of the planet's climate on an unproven "carbon capture" tech, that would be conservative, or a precautionary approach (prudence).
But, the conservative party's & industries are promoting carbon capture. They're not conservative (cautious), they're venture capitalists (gambling for a profit)
It is time that that everyone changes their view from me to us.
Our wealth originates from the exploitation of nature and other states. First and foremost the big industries and very rich people should be held responsible. But I am not better than they if I shut the door for people which are fleeing climate desasters.
It ashames me, that we call for highly educated foreigerns because the workforce is missing and at the same time do nothing about sinking emigrant ships.
I am trying to do my part (using public transport, don't use flights for vacations, turning the the heater down during winter) but if at the same time the richer get richer and the poorer poorer politics loose their credibility.
If everyone steps down their luxury we would have enough money to help poorer people and we would save a lot of resources. No one has the natural right to own more than any other one. That is a lie capitalism told us...
