   (foreword)

   In 2025 I took part in #AuGHOST by writing a short story in daily installment, which you can read here starting at https://mastodon.art/@aaribaud/114952924076250551 or as a whole on my website at https://albert.aribaud.net/en/writing/deal-with-the-devil/.

   My #AuGHOST2026 story is a (loose) followup on that previous story.

   So if you want to avoid spoilers, do go read the 2025 one first!

   Again and again, I see the notion that humanity is committing "collective suicide" because we are not acting on #ClimateChange and other forms environmental destruction.

   I do not accept this thesis. This is not suicide, it is murder - perpetrated by the oligarchs of this world and others who want the #FossilFuel economy going for their own profit.

   And they have invested _massive_ amounts of money into propaganda to keep this system running. Not just by funding climate change denial - but also by promoting the concept of the individual "carbon footprint". Essentially, they have socialized the risks and privatized the profits, tricking us into believing that _we_ are to blame for not doing enough as individual persons, rather than _them_ for creating and perpetrating the system.

   This is part of the "personal responsibility" ideology pushed by those who already own most of the world, but still want more. If _we_ as individuals share in the blame for _their_ decisions, even though _they_ gain all the benefits from them and we do not, then that means we would have to fight _ourselves_ to save the world - rather than the true villains of this story.

   So let's put the accountability where it belongs, okay?

   Thanks to everyone who replied. This was a popular poll!

   I get a lot of my news from the Fediverse. I find @memeorandum and @Techmeme really useful as aggregators, but I also follow @cbcnews , @npr , @time and others on @Flipboard , and others like @nymag from Threads.

   Off the Fediverse, I usually listen to one opinion podcast and one headlines podcast per day, though, and I occasionally go to the CBC News app if I need reliable information about a breaking story.

   So, I'm most.
