    Inventing a new therapy method for climate scientists called SRRGT - State and Revolution Reading and Gun Training

    Was reading some of those letters submitted to the “Is This How You Feel” project mentioned in the article. A lot of those scientists struggling with this cataclysmic problem have come to the doomer conclusion, far more doomer than any communist/anarchist could come up with, is that people are just stupid, unaware, and/or it’s just not in “human nature” to deal with “slow moving” (not so slow moving when a flood or fire destroys your home) problems like climate change. They can’t see what’s right in front of them - that we live in a class society and the SPECIFIC class that has total control over state power DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK regardless of how the masses feel and they won’t until either the masses force them to (or seize state power ofc lol) or we are facing climate catastrophe on an unimaginably destructive level that forces even this privileged and sheltered class to do something about it.

    Those letters were written during the early phase of the COVID pandemic and many expressed hope that the state could take the same kind of extreme actions being used to fight the pandemic to fight climate change. I wonder how they feel now agony-deep
