    Yep. Nick Hanauer’s done activism including TED talks pointing how ethical capitalism has become impossible what with regulatory capture and stable longer-term business models failing to compete with exploitative short-term models… and that we proletariat aren’t going to stand for our state of perpetual precarity for much longer.

      It doesn’t even matter if the proletariat decides they’ve had enough. If things don’t change then we get dramatic vast-scale climate migration that breaks the existing system that drove it to happen in the first place. Ideally, we’d change those systems now so things don’t get as bad as they could. But if we don’t, those systems are about to blow themselves up either way.
