    Climate change driving fascism has been my biggest concern for a while now and I’ve seen nothing that calms that fear.

      It might be a bit of oil on the fire, but the book ‘Hinterland’ by Phil Neel does a great job of theorizing the rise of fascism in climate change induced state collapse/withdrawal.

      He’s said that interviews? This is all Wikipedia has to say about his time at MIT.

      James Woods

      Woods was an undergraduate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He stated on Inside the Actors Studio that he originally intended to become an eye surgeon. He pledged the Theta Delta Chi fraternity and was a member of the student theatre group Dramashop, acting in and directing a number of plays. He dropped out of MIT in 1969, one semester before graduating, to pursue an acting career.

      I have read that they self-regulate that 90% on their rainfall is allowed to flow into the ocean to keep the rivers in their natural state. Of the remaining 10%, half goes to environmental uses, 40% to agriculture, and 10% to cities.

    I totally forgot all about James Woods. I’m actually sort of shocked he doesn’t have some kind of role (real or pretend) in the Trump administration. Maybe Trump will name him “Hollywood Ambassador” or something.

    The liberals are destroying California. And, conservative humor gone array - conservative humor gone awry - is going to Fascistfornia today. So stay tuned, we’re going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their, policies, are actually messing it up. It’s not beautiful when you go across that border. So stay tuned guys we’ll show you exactly what they’re, we’ll show you exactly what it looks like… when the uh… liberals destroy the deserts… with all their environmental stuff. Stay tuned.

Of the remaining 10%, half goes to environmental uses, 40% to agriculture, and 10% to cities. I read it from a conservative source though so no idea about the truth. Still, even during drought there’s always water in the rivers around where I lived there. It’s possible that policy changes could fill the reservoirs.

    Every time a poor person dies to climate change, it will be a sad statistic covered for thirty seconds on a slow news day. When it’s a rich person, the event will be so thoroughly documented to the point that it appears as a once in a lifetime phenomenon.
