@slowbikeiain Well, I mean: for me it *is* a battle against capitalism. But who am I?

Iain Roberts (slowbikeiain@urbanists.social)'s status on Monday, 31-Jul-2023 03:54:43 JST Iain Roberts @adamgreenfield Agreed. We are where we are - industrialisation has seen by far the biggest fall in poverty in human history, but at a great environmental price.
This isn't an ideological battle against capitalism, we need to look for any and all opportunities.

Adam Greenfield (adamgreenfield@social.coop)'s status on Monday, 31-Jul-2023 03:54:44 JST Adam Greenfield I’ve tried to say this a couple of different ways over the past few weeks, but I am *extremely* uncomfortable with the emerging line of rhetoric on the climate left that casts strategies of adaptation to the circumstances of heating as somehow acquiescing to the extractive industries and/or their enablers in rightwing politics and the mainstream media. Adaptation really is all we have now. It’s up to us to ensure that it’s liberatory in conception and practice.
