    Climate crisis has shown that society doesn’t listen to warnings. Marginalized people, poor people, disabled people have to cooperate to gain influence.

      Yes but you’re forgetting an important thing. People in other countries aren’t white, making them less important.

        What’s the consequence? Poor white people shouldn’t cooperate? Poor white people don’t cooperate with brown people? All brown people cooperating would already make a difference.

        Edit:

        Do you mean that people cooperating in brown countries doesn’t change anything in white countries?

    we’re at the breaking point or, and I believe this, we’re past it - it’s broken, but no one has admitted it yet.

    I do volunteer work for the homeless. Within the past year or two the sheer amount of homeless people has skyrocketed. the stereotypes are bullshit. These aren’t junkies, these aren’t mentally ill people, these are people who are broke. A MASSIVE increase in women and the elderly. a Huge increase in immigrants. and it’s increasing weekly to monthly. not like gradually increasing but “the dam has broken and shits flooding” increasing. We can’t keep up. We don’t have enough food to hand out now, not enough clothes, not enough anything. we’re just constantly fighting a massive wave of people looking, begging, pleading for help and we’re running out of help to provide.

    I suspect, at least where I live in Canada, we have 6 months to MAYBE a year left but everything is over run and shit just straight up collapses.

      Disabled queer woman, I’m 2nd in the queue! I have multiple disabilities but being trans obviously outweighs even that

      Yeah but like, occasionally we make vague statements about being sorry about the genocide. Which makes it fine

      I don’t like referring to them as rats, but that is certainly how they are treated.

          Yes I understand the analogy, and it’s a good one, it just feels bad to intentionally think of them (us) as rats.

            Yeah, for real. We’re unimportant poor and disabled people. Not rats…

              Except the ones that are rats. And they’re probably adorable.
