  • I’d argue that at this point, sticking to the collective vs individual dichotomy of climate attribution and action potential is climate action delayist. When your argument relies you or your group intentionally doing absolutely nothing to combat climate change, you don’t really have climate change in mind.

    Leftism sometimes cares more about class than its very foundation, the environment, to understand why there is a problem with blame-shifting.


    I’ve seen this in a similar fashion in relationship advice forums: Commenters not engaging with the issue or person, but knee-jerk reacting with advising instant breakup.













  • Even though the comment is removed now, I’d like to add that equating social democrats with fascism, i.e. ‘social fascism theory’, kind of lead to the disunity in the fight against the NSDAP from the communist side (KPD). This is not supposed to downplay the actions of the SPD during and in the emergence of the Weimar republic, but ‘social fascism theory’ didn’t help 1930s antifascism nor do I think does it help 2020s antifascism.
