So apparently there was a big "news" thing a few months ago where a bunch of outlets ran stories about how ~big the carbon footprint is for metered dose inhalers~ as if those inhalers aren't often the only thing standing between actual human beings and preventable death.

Fuck you and fuck your fascist fucking greenhouse gas emissions.

Let me tell you a story 'cuz this ain't the first time this happened:

"PLEASE let this moment radicalize you. Know that there are a handful of billionaires that could make sure people don't need to go to work. The government could put a moratorium on rent, mortgages, student loans. We could nationalize utilities. Capitalism prevents all of this." https://twitter.com/SultanReina/status/1239230205094498309

Thinking about how it's becoming very clear that one of the fundamental problems with our capitalist society is that there is no pause button, on any level. Everything is built around the idea that whatever we are doing, we will keep doing. There's no way to take a break when there is a need for one.

People can't stay home because they have to work to pay bills. Companies can't shut down because they have to pay bills. Economies can't wind down because everything fails if it stops.

While we're all focused on the Corona crisis the US government is quietly pushing an internet #surveillance bill that is aimed at abolishing message encryption:

Chuck Tingle has come to our rescue. He has released not one but TWO FREE tinglers regarding the current state of emehrgency:

"Not Pounded By Anything While I Practice Responsible Social Distancing"

and

"The Physical Manifestation of Washing My Hands Gets Me Off"

Steampunk without commentary on the exploitative machinations of imperialism is not steampunk.

Cyberpunk without commentary on capitalism's efforts to buy the world out from under us is not cyberpunk.

Solarpunk without commentary on how to grow a brighter future for everyone instead of submitting to gloom is not solarpunk.

These three make a trifecta of how capitalism took over, what can happen if it continues, and how to prevent it from doing so. What was, is, and still could be.
