    it’s an expression of accelerationist thought.

    …And that’s the really terrifying thing. How many vulnerable people are they willing to see die for their accelerationist fantasy?

        TBF, China is doing a good job at transitioning to renewables. Which isn’t the same as meeting their climate goals, but it’s better than we’re doing in the US overall.
