    Climate change is real. We either do nothing and everything changes, or we change our way of living to save humanity. Either way, change is coming.

    There’s nothing to conserve. Conservatism doesn’t have a ground in facts & reality, if it ever had. Hence conservatism now fights fanatically for its own survival, and capitalism survival, at the behest cost of all us, the progress that humanity has achieved so far, and the planet that we all share.
