The proper analogy would be. Your house is on fire here's some water. I want more water so I'll take no water.

I'd tell my idiot family to stop lighting the curtains on fire.

No so why were you supporting @CoriBush theatrics instead of calling her out!? Can’t have it both ways

If my house is on fire, I am in a dire situation. If my house has burnt down, I can move from grief to action. Our house has burnt down.

That's what the fire department does.

I wouldn't approach it, but I would incrementally run away.

A reminder, Marianne: Socialism is the fire department, paid by the community, putting out your fire without asking questions. Capitalism is the insurance company coming in and telling you you're not covered.

For sure, as that is the pragmatic approach. By messin' about, and waiting for an unspecified date to extinguish the fire, the fire will simply grow weaker, while our urge to do something grows stronger - and by the time the house is completely burnt down, I might tweet about it

And while the planet burns up, nothing is being done. It is ecocide. We must stop extracting, refining and using fossil fuels immediately to survive. All U.S. wars and our military's massive pollution must end.

Humans are delusional if they think we are going to stop this. There was an action movie about this kind of thing but who needs a movie when we can just live the horror? theguardian.com/environment/…
