I’m sure that fascism over here, will fix Palestine over there!

I’m also sure that if it wasn’t because of Palestine or buttery males or whatever else, the non-voters would have found another excuse to not vote… for a… (gasp)… woman presidential candidate!

Fuck.

I fear ecofascism.

Once the conservative lies about Climate Change cannot be ignored, the switch from “it isn’t a problem” to “it’s a massive problem and only WE are smart enough to be arbiters of who gets what out of what is left over” will happen so fast it will make your head spin.

The same right wing thugs that brought us to the brink will happily become Immortan Joe and rule over the ashes.

The lack of resources will become the excuse for ownership by the existing ownership class. The attitude is already out there, just not spoken widely.

Water is, of course, the most important raw material we have today in the world. It’s a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution. The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value. Personally, I believe it’s better to give a foodstuff a value so that we’re all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water, and there are many different possibilities there.

Why the water isn’t killing the fire?
