An early forecast from one set of experts sees an above-average hurricane season that may rival the busiest years on record.
Wow, you sure got butthurt. Too bad I didn't say anything about the people in Florida, they're more than welcome to live somewhere more sensible, say... on actual land, rather than a sandbar and a bit of hole-y limestone. But feel free to go down with the sandy ship you call home if you want. You can find me up the hill a little ways, laughing.
idk what the deleted comment said but yeah praying on “this being the year florida sinks” is not it, come on.
do we actually think the rich landowners are going to feel any regret when they lose their property? hell naw dude they are gonna move and probably get sick insurance payouts as well. and the places they move to? they’re gonna slide in with higher purchasing power and outbid local low income families from their own homes.
when in the history of capital has natural calamity hurt the wealthy more than the working class poor? with peace and love, get absolutely so fkn real lmao. human beings have a right to homes, and not to be uprooted from those homes because of the whims of an oppressive and immoral upper class.
this “florida bad” dialogue is sickening to me. places like florida don’t come about without consistent and potent oppression. playing into this meme that entire populations are better off participating in forced migration is scarily victim blame-y and disconnected as hell from peoples’ lived reality.
What do you think happens to people during large scale natural disasters? You don’t get to act indignant and ignorant at the same time.
They’re right. You’re being an asshole.
What do I think happens to people? <shrug> Considering it's the internet, and my comment was tangential enough to the topic that I didn't think I'd need to write an essay because someone got their feefees hurt after baking in the sun too long.
I'll make sure to donate to a life-vest or pool-floaty fund or something to make up for it.
horrific to see the fear of losing literally everything derided as “fee fees getting hurt.”
anyone who actually thinks florida sinking memes are funny is clearly coming from a place of notable privilege or affluence. i’d expect this kind of behavior from r/conservative, but i guess some of the neoliberal community are showing their true colors right here on c/climate.
“fuck the poor lmao i only care about the aesthetics of climate activism; the actual harm of climate change on the ground is irrelevant to me.”
Neoliberalism is a conservative ideology so it would be on /r/conservative. It’s the ideology of the 90’s and 2000’s GOP up through Trump. Despite “liberal” in the name it’s not actually “liberal” as we know it.
But yes otherwise totally agree with you.
