i mean geoengineering bullshit is literally the only alternative to massive changes in society globally so...

It's just not a very compelling argument to say "It's too hard to use technological solutions so we will just reengineer all of society globally in the course of ten years without most of the people currently in power on board"

i agree that the changes that klein prescribes are hugely unlikely to happen

but i dunno, read up on the geoengineering projects that are touted as solutions to climate change and try not to crap your pants in terror

She has certainly put a lot of energy into describing the connections between every subject she has ever written about.
― maffew12, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 18:46 (four years ago) link
I mean, every proposed solution makes me crap my pants in terror. But I think the best we can hope for is probably some combination of carbon capture plus some reduction of emissions through renewables plus inevitably adaptation to the warming that will occur. And Klein's "the objectively best way to solve global warming also just happens to include my personal policy wishlist regarding everything" is a little much.

making all those connections is like the Green New Deal? Sure. On this interview, all I feel is I have to listen again and take notes. It was a lot.She really gets down on squabbling between activist groups who she seems to think don't realize the interconnectedness of all these issues (and has hope for kids who see it all clearer, something like that). And while I'm sure talking to so many different groups and seeing relatively little positive change has to be demoralizing, it's like, what exactly is she expecting out of fragmented movements that hold little power even if they were to form a proper collective? Could you please be the next NDP leader or something?

Although I did like his point about why it’s sort of trite and unsatisfying to make a sociological origin of the joker story.

The local branch in Kansas City (KCDSA) has misled the masses into think that the fight for socialism amounts to little more than hosting book clubs, film screenings, and ineffectual rallies. KCSDA has served as a magnet for cast-off activists and protest hoppers, as well as doing the leg work of local Democratic candidates.
yes, the masses are all brainwashed by the film screenings of the kansas city DSA
