TL;DR Far-right on the rise more or less everywhere based on the estimates, green parties on the decline. Let's just hope it will not get too dire consequences in the five years to come.
Even if in the next elections (2029!) greens would surge like crazy and the far right crumble, we lose sooo much valuable time within these 5 years now. It really is disheartening :(
Indeed. What a setback. I will continue practicing individual climate action ([email protected]), which is the only control we have now.
You can still vote with your wallet. Don't drive your car unless absolutely neccessary, don't use anything 'cloud' or 'AI' and pressure companies on social media to watch their emissions.
Indeed. And itβs worth noting as well that Cloudflare encourages admins to deploy heavy websites, pushes graphical CAPTCHA (which adds weight), and makes text browsers less usable. So I boycott Cloudflare, as well as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Lemmy.world uses CF, so changing instances to get off Cloudflare is also a climate action.
That is depressing.
Honestly the way society is currently looking, I fully expect to either be put in a concentration camp or murdered by some brownshirt-equivalent in the near-ish future. "Moderate" conservatives seem to have no problems collaborating with fascists
