    Sorry, but accelerationism only gets us a lasting fascism. It doesn’t get us the kid of stable world where people can substitute wind and solar for fossil fuels

      My point is that the US will always prioritize global domination over climate sustainability. Trump’s first term did include private/state level US mandates for sustainability as a reaction to dooming-fascism. That movement weakened under Biden. Local hope movements are an uphill battle, but still possible.

      Nature of US politics, and a popular vote favouring extreme strengthening of oligarchy, can again result in a strong pendulum movement away from climate destruction, but the next zionist/neocon candidate the DNC provides us will not prioritize global cooperation/sustainability any more than Biden did. Either US collapse, or a political movement based on UBI that disempowers the US empire will lead to lower US emissions.

        I wouldn’t say that the movement towards state action weakened under Biden; we got some great examples of it, such as the requirement for renewables in Minnesota.
