Sounds like Trump wants us to achieve the same impact the hard way instead, then.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

I suspect more strongly all the time that not just a likely consequence but an explicit goal of the coming autocracy is to kill a large number of people.
It's essentially passive eugenics. The idea is to make life as difficult as possible for everyone but the wealthiest few, and again, not just as a consequence of shallow self-interest but deliberately, so that as many people as possible die, and with the idea that the deaths will be most concentrated among the most disadvantaged.
Part of the idea then behind MAGA's obsession with identity politics is to try to arrange things so that groups they don't like are overrepresented among the disadvantaged who will die.
That's also a lot of the reason then behind Musk's creepy pro-natalism - they're trying to get a head start on breeding white fascist replacements for all of the undesirables they intend to kill.
I can see it
This won’t happen revolutions started for less you guys forget that in these kinds of times revolutions role around. The Social Contract is the only thing keeping you from nature and this would make it impossible to follow the social contract. Capitalism is an empire and it will fall like all empires do.
today's empires, tomorrow's ashes.
that would explain why they dont seem to care about climate change while they do seem to plan for the long term for some things. maybe they believe less people on the planet is a solution to climate change.
I don't think Trump is into eugenics. He wants to be seen as a force of destruction. It makes him powerful. Plus it's an easy way to own the libs and further divide the people.
Trump always escalates. It strengthens his ego and further bounds his supporters to him. And it has always worked so far.
Trump isn't into much of anything other than feeding his ego, his greed and his lust. That's another aspect of his fundamental childishness - his desires and motivations are very simple and sybaritic.
However, he's surrounded by people who are stroking hisxegovand whispering in his ear and trying to get him to focus his wandering attention on things they want, and some of them certainly are very much into eugenics. That is in fact an obvious and deliberate implication of replacement theory and pro-natalism - people like Musk see reproduction as a contest between races, and one that they're afraid they're going to lose and are determined to win, by whatever means might serve.
Trump needs to be forcibly drowned in vat of liquid methane
