I'm pretty sure the forces that are hijacking our political systems have very deep connections to the fossil fuel industry. These mofos have been running our society form over 200 years, and renewables and batteries are threatening their existence. Did we really believe they were going without a fight after the Paris Agreement in 2015?

Stop burning stuff. Cut of their oxigen. So we can save our world.

This is an all or nothing for them, because they know that if the law prevails, death is penalty for treason.
