I could breakdown your last few posts and disagree with a lot of the points, line by line. But instead, I’m gonna reach out and agree with you on the more general state of brokenness. We do see eye to eye on that.
If you see a climate crisis coming, as I do, then you’re probably more willing to make some odd compromises in hopes of turning some things around and maybe avoiding the worst of things. For example, I’ve had a long-running disagreement with folks who conceptualize our role and place in nature as “stewards” because I think that concept is fundamentally rooted in some backwards thoughts; but I’m currently saying “yeah, stewardship, that’s fine... but can you start to take that more seriously, pls?”
This broadly mirrors my support of Biden. Like, “yeah, that’s fine, but...”. **** has to be turned around before the supposed bottom of brokenness is reached. So let’s call this the bottom, eh? Otherwise our retirement savings will take a brutal hit and we’ll spend the rest of it on increasing food costs, etc.
(You can take umbrage with the concept of a political “movement” if you want. But, from my perspective, the way you’ve done so in this thread is an element of the blithe cynicism I’ve mentioned. I’m not going to join you there. Yet. Hopefully before things get too bad for me I can move back to my wife’s family farm property in central Massachusetts and find tons of new things to feel passionately about on those 40 acres).
