Don't forget they are fascists. They will try to crush any resistance and use any lies they can come up with.

It is terrifying in its wickedness, yes. But it also opens up powerful possibilities for resistance. To bet against the future on this scale â to bank on your bunker â is to betray, on the most basic level, our duties to one another, to the children we love, and to every other life form with whom we share a planetary home. This is a belief system that is genocidal at its core and treasonous to the wonder and beauty of this world. We are convinced that the more people understand the extent to which the right has succumbed to the Armageddon complex, the more they will be willing to fight back, realizing that absolutely everything is now on the line.

our duties to one another
Uh.. what duties are those?

I'd say we have the general duty to help those in need since we're living on the same planet. This idea of escapism, that I can build a bunker and hide from the poor destitute masses until they die off, is morally reprehensible. We have a duty to 1) not do that and 2) work together to limit, mitigate, and possibly reverse the damages of climate change so life is alright for the maximum number of people.
How's that sound to you?

I don't follow. Why does the fact that we're living on the same planet mean that we have a general duty to help those in need?
We have a duty to 1) not do that
Why?
and 2) work together to limit, mitigate, and possibly reverse the damages of climate change so life is alright for the maximum number of people.
Why?
