It's 52.2degrees in China, and we are worrying about this shit still

EDIT TO CLARIFY: I think people should be able to have a family made up of who ever they want. Being in a traditional family does not magically guarantee a safe space

Bro it's not even a "it's X in China" problem, Italy is being hit extremely hard by the climate crisis it's nust that the right wing doesn't give a shit because that would require pissing off the lobbies and actually having to do intelligent things that their voters don't like.

Not that the main available options for the left are any better tbh

There's literally a lot of posts talking about global warming. We can discuss both at the same time, you know.

This, and all the other extreme events happening all over the world, is exactly why these extremists are so succesful.

Right wing populists provides very simple (but of course blatantly wrong) answers to all the problems in the world: It is the fault of the minorities. It is much easier for people to accept such simple but moronic "solutions" instead of having to deal with the fact that reality is complex and that some problems are very difficult to solve.

These fascists are only going to get more succesful as things gets even worse. The economy is going to get gradually worse for the common man, the number of climate refugees will keep rising, wars for resources will occur (creating more refugees) and fascists will thrive with their seemingly simple solutions which will only help make matters even worse, since they will do nothing to combat climate change or change the economic system, and their nationalism will only make the risk of wars starting even greater.

No, the core reason is that people "care" about some one thing, maybe two or free, which make up their daily news.

There are mass murders, catastrophes, climate disasters all around the world all the time. Instead of this "daily news" algorithm one should pick the area (maybe a few) in which they want to help and do that. Make it unpaid work instead of virtue signalling.

Also I'm not arguing these people are fascists, but there are fascists doing much worse things, like honest to God mass murders, today on our planet. Yet they don't matter, because this is Italy and that is brown people killing each other.

The ones in Italy are fascists. The current party is directly descended from the neo-fascist MSI which was founded by fascists after the war. The PM has been part of it and its successor parties since she joined the MSI Youth Front in the 90s as a teen.

Try to maintain your humanity and empathy for others, or what point is there to persist in our warming world?

But I want to see all of it.
