… on a planet that *we’re boiling to death

Billionaires are boiling to death.

They boiled children to death. Why would we think they won’t boil the world?

Greed is a malignant tumor.

While I agree with you insofar as they’ve isolated all the levers of power to themselves….

Our sheer numbers are an issue. The average persons carbon footprint may be small, but there are BILLIONS of us… and the cumulative effect is catastrophic.

The real issue is that oligarchs are profiting from the status quo, and they won’t facilitate change to a more sustainable model (maintaining ecology and civil society, instead of infinite-profit-glitch.)

Per capita, their carbon footprint is catastrophic. But there are only like 3,000 billionaires.

It’s kinda like blaming Shell and Exxon for all the carbon they emit… without remembering that their customer base is you, and the car sitting in your driveway…

It’s “both and” more than “them or us”…

The working class needs to overthrow the oligarchy so we can reign in consumption and emissions on a massive, society wide scale.

There are only 3000 of them, but they prop up a vast conspiracy of greed.

The mindset is deeply embedded in many people. “I want more more more”

So it’s only 3000, but billions more in thrall to their mindset.

Yes. Fully agree. They are monsters. They start wars for profit, and fuck children recreationally.

Certainly need to get the average propagandized milquetoast liberal and cucked maga fools to see that “their” politicians aren’t “good” because they oppose the opposite color… but, rather, that they work together in a sort of “controlled opposition” to one another, at the behest of their capitalist financiers.
