Okay, hear me out guys. So these machines are really ingenious. Basically they use science to make the floodings worse. They heat up the atmosphere because warm air can carry more water and then the rains can become much much harder.
But wait, heating up the atmosphere? I can’t even heat my condo properly! So here is the trick. They use something called green house gases. Basically these gases, and that is really evil, they let sunlight in, but they don’t let the heat out. But you can’t really control where the gas stays, because its gas. So these fuckers they heat up the entire planet and take us all as collateral damages to whoever they want to mess with.
But even worse. They peddled the lie to us, that the green house gases would be good for us because when we make them, they give us some heat or electricity, even though taking sunlight and wind for that is far cheaper and safer. So instead of letting us get almost free energy from the wind they convinced us to pay for us emitting those gases that they use to kill us!
I wonder how useful this kind of approach would be.
I’m reminded of a podcast recently where someone described that some of their colleagues in their day job (a very union heavy job) got pissed off at some cops at a petrol station, basically saying “ay, why are you protecting the Tesla dealerships, you’re union too — you’re meant to be on our side”. The podcast guy said that although he really wanted to say to his colleagues something like “just because they’re union doesn’t mean they’re on our side. Cops only exist to protect the interests of capital”, he felt it was more productive to stoke the existing anger of his working class colleagues by leaning into their concerns
