    Are they going to go just because you say they have to, or will action be required?

    Assuming it’s action does that happen with apathy or do you have to care?

    Caring a “whole awful lot” does not start and stop with green initiatives by the people.

    The “do you care” flow chart boils down to two directions:

    • No > then it doesn’t matter
    • Yes > then what are we going to do about it

    Which branch gets to what you’re talking about?

      Depends, how likely do you see a socialist insurrectionary revolution happening?

      To be clear, I do care. I’d like to have a good life. But I cant snap my fingers and magically radicalize the entirety of the world. I do my best with the limited platform I have, but I’m only one radical anarchist.

        I’m not saying you can or that you’re expected to. Just like a single rain drop doesn’t make a flood.

        But if every rain drop got discouraged from falling because it can’t make a flood all on its own we’d have been in droughts earlier and more often.

        As far as likelihood, I think we’ve been approaching a revolution of some kind or another for a couple decades at least. It could be a violent one like the French Revolution, or a cultural one like the Industrial Revolution. Time, events, and people will make that determination, but the visible unrest with income disparity grows more obvious on a pretty regular basis.
