John Dettling @johndettling.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Looking forward to your "10 Steps to Reducing Oligarchs' Power to Create a Post-Oligarchy World."

Ukemike @ukemike.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The difference between our near future and WW2 is that WW2 lasted about 6 years. Our current crisis could last CENTURIES. WW2 displaced about 65 million people. Climate change will displace BILLIONS. So our current crisis is likely to be about 2 orders of magnitude worse than WW2! 000
