  • It drives me crazy cause operating within the system isn’t going to get you power either!! Look at allowable contours of Israel-Gaza-Lebanon-Iran right fucking now - at one end genocide but feel bad to the other genocide by don’t feel bad. And the campus protestors, bless them, are mocked for “critiquing power” instead of trying to seize this rickety ass system that a thousand ways of moulding or shuddering YOU if you try to enter and compete within it.














  • I think helping people move due to climate change is a reasonable project. A lot of people moved to Florida because housing was cheaper, some moved because they liked the chud De Santis political stuff, some moved because it’s just nicer weather innit? For those who moved because housing was cheaper, hopefully shelter can be provided in more favorable areas.

    I think there’s some resilience style architecture they could do to make hurricanes more survivable and make flooding/rising tides better off. All over the carribean, they build with cinder blocks, and those handle storms quite handily. Cuba has remarkable storm resilience structures and infrastructure, including just beaurocratic infrastructure - and they’re poor af and can’t just move to Norcal.

    As a project a handful of people could actually mount, honestly it’s probably all we can do to provide moving assistance and shelter elsewhere nearby or very far away (like a hexbear mutual aid bat phone where you’re willing to house another member for a short term during the hurricane and the recovery and maybe some cash to help the evacuee).

    As a project that’s actionable at a national/state level, yes there’s a lot more that could be done. Regulations on building materials (no more stick built frames), nationalizing insurance so people can actually get it at a reasonable rate and they can actually get a payout after a disaster, decarbonizing so less extreme weather events happen in the future longer term, rewilding so carbon can be pumped back into the earth via plants (possibly BECCS too), on top of shelters and people who can check on you and get you to one, movement assistance for people seeking to leave due to disaster etc.
