Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Climate Denial May Escalate Into a Total Rupture With Reality (www.currentaffairs.org)

As the catastrophe of global warming becomes seemingly impossible to deny, will right-wing denial disappear? Or will it simply become yet more deranged?

Yup, it's absolutely just going to get more and more deranged.

We're already seeing reich-wingers outright deny that eg. southern Europe has had an unusually hot heatwave – or even a heatwave at all. I've seen more than one claim that some of the forest fires we've had around Europe either didn't happen or were caused by – surprise surprise – foreigners purposefully setting fire to them because reasons.

I figure that once things get extremely bad, they'll absolutely keep denying humanity has anything to do with it, but the social instability that extreme climate change will cause will be a great excuse for them to start outright murdering "leftists" (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites), or at least more than they already are at any rate.
