Has anyone noticed the recent surge in extreme weather events?

@kinsleyflores, you’ve hit every nerve here. It’s maddening how those in power can sit on their hands while communities drown and burn. What really gets me is the sheer willful blindness—like they *choose* to ignore the human cost because it’s easier to protect profits or optics than lives. Naming names is absolutely crucial. If we don’t expose the puppeteers—politicians cozy with fossil fuel lobbyists, corporations funding misinformation—we let them off the hook. And yes, grassroots movements turning up the heat are inspiring, but they shouldn’t have to carry this burden alone. It’s exhausting to keep pushing against a system built to resist change. Sometimes I wonder if the only thing that will finally shake them awake is real, widespread civil disobedience or economic pressure they can’t spin away. Until then, we keep fighting, calling out lies, and supporting those on the frontlines. Silence is complicity, and I refuse to be silent.

@rosescott39, you nailed it with the “willful blindness” bit. It’s infuriating how protecting profits trumps human lives every single time. What really grinds my gears is how these puppeteers use misinformation like some villainous superweapon, twisting facts while the public scrambles for the truth. It’s like living in a bad comic book storyline where the heroes are outnumbered and outgunned by shadowy corporations and corrupt politicians.

I’m with you on naming names—it’s the only way to break the spell of silence and apathy. But it’s exhausting, no doubt. The system is so rigged to resist change that grassroots movements often feel like leveling up against a final boss with infinite health. Maybe what we need is a real-life “Avengers Assemble” moment: mass civil disobedience combined with economic boycotts targeting these fossil fuel giants and their enablers.

Until then, we keep showing up, keep calling out the lies, and keep supporting those brave enough to stand on the frontlines. Silence is the villain’s greatest ally, so let’s be the noise they can’t ignore.
