this is our actual climate future staring us in the face - no consensus reality or shared source of authority, rampant conspiracies everywhere, more pressure to address made up nonsense than the underlying problem

LA Fire TikTok comments are BLEAK. Every conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard plus a bunch that are brand new.

Be careful not to blame everything of climate change, as it gives cynics legitimate argument fuel.
It coincides with one of our dry winters, also a repetitive event.
I mean trump can barely walk or talk as it is. It's embarrassing.
The problem deniers have is it all happens too slowly, they cannot see it. The moneyed and corporate world see it as a threat to profits, so the call to action is stifled by obstacles and conspiracy. 😔
if half of us actually care about saving the world for future generations, then the other half of us has to be... dealt with.
I’m at the point of blocking anything political here.
It still gets through, and I block away.
I am purposely trying to ignore all news. It’s all BS, none of it trustworthy, and I’m tired of rising to the bait.

Very much relevant today.
But the Romans were apparently clutching their crystal balls and unable to actually put up a fight against the goths...
My point being, we're not the only people in the world.
Republicans lie.
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

i am not.
before then, hoover tried to ignore it. there'll be a breaking point
They don’t believe in science, facts, data, medicine, truth, proof or reality…🔬🧪🧬🧫⚗️🔭💊
What’s it going to take?!?!
Not even sure how we tackle this issue? Academics are viewed as demonic enemies to some of these types of people. How can we reach them (or more likely their children) so we don’t keep flailing?
Facts are bad for profit.
Consensus is bad for profit.
Rumors, conspiracies, arguments, and infighting are good for profit.
Capitalism was a mistake !
Be a wall.
Humanity has become too stupid to live. Let the octopuses take over.
I’m reminded of the Great Fear in pre-revolution France, when basically everyone got hooked on a series of conspiracy theories.
It's bleak. Very bleak.
Even environmentalists in California have been criticizing Democrats for poor land management for wildfire prevention.
I really hate that that whole speech aged fairly decently.
People saw friends and family get disabled and die, some faced it personally ... but they stayed in deep denial about the whole thing.
The endless conspiracy theories and blame game took up more attention than the actual pandemic response.
At least they could recommend a choreography and a specific costume. Basic minimum.
when i saw it i was uncomfortable through it all because i wasn't sure if it was intended to be "this is how bad it can get."
I saw it as "lol this is now, its now, lolsob"
I see them scream but I hear no sound
And the terrible things happen down the road
To someone else that I don't even know
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Why should I care?"

Or just regular LMAO?
It's our news future, where there is no reality check on lies and propaganda, no trusted source of objective news.
Trump won because too many voters believe the lies in rightwing media including in social media.
Carter was on track to move the USA towards sustainable energy then Reagan and his supporters undid it all. Also granted big tax cuts to the rich.
Some people will look back at those lies as a crazy thing they believe in, w/out blaming those who brainwashed them. This means no accountability and that new lies will fill the void
