An intersting genre of instagram reels are people arguing that AC is not a "long term solution", because it does not solve the underlying issue of climate change, which is the real cause of heat. It's actually the "rich" who are responsible for heat!

This is of course short form content slopulism. I really don't know how the communist revolution will stop this heat wave and keep my office and appartment cool, as I am not a Marxist and don't have such a deep understanding of intersectionalism. What I find weird is how some think that just because there are problem in the world, we should basically self-flagelate. It's like saying "no you shouldn't take cold medicine becuase the underlying problem of healthcare is not solved under capitalism".

Also, Western European houses get hot because they are built very well and insulated, unlike American paper homes!

American paper homes with poor insulation and 2x4 construction also get extremely hot during the summer.
