This is 100% correct. Fossil fuels are not only a driver of climate chaos, the cause of millions of lost healthy years of life every year, and a cause of ecological destruction, they are also a chief funder of 90% of the world's worst governments, and humans.

My grandfather, an avowed socialist, would get mad whenever I brought up race or gender. "You're ignoring the dialectic," he'd say, throwing up his hands. "There is only class!" I loved him. He was a personal hero for me, but he was wrong. There are only people.

Over the last 30 years I've made dozens of CPS calls. Not a single one of them has resulted in an even temporary alternative placement -- even several in which there were clear signs of abuse and neglect. CPS really dislikes taking kids from parents. Except with Pete Buttigieg. Gotta wonder why.

It's been amazing watching people twist themselves in knots to find this problematic bc they hate Buttigieg for other reasons and can't bring themselves to acknowledge Venn crossover. Not great coalitioning if the goal is to get what you want.
