2 days agoSo is there any chance we see any increase of interest in socialism? If not the US, maybe in EU or Canada? I was kinda hoping after Trump got elected liberals would stop hanging on to their failed ideology, but it seems it’s just like 2016 again and they are only capable of being smug or huffing copium on how bad Trump can be.
It feels like they are getting more disillusioned as corps and billionaires are all backing Trump and the Democrat party is basically doing nothing about it (why would they), but I might be expecting too much out of them.
Talked to a friend who actually seems quite radicalized by the LA fire. He keeps falling back to people should collectively make better climate conscious decisions (electric over gas cars etc.). I was trying to convince him it needs to be a systemic change for any hope of actual meaningful impact. He seemed to take it well.
I left out how we have already exceeded 1.5 degrees thing though. I’m not sure what the future will look like
