More focus on the current genocides would keep our elected leaders from such complacency, and more importantly, such political and economic support for them.
And maybe past ones...#Rwanda was a shit show and we were ringside.
Then there's decades of us eroding #Haiti.
Yeah, we're far from saturated.
People broadly don't know enough about even just these genocides. Let alone the rest.
Enough #complacency we need just five percent of people to pressure their #lawmakers to take a stand on #impeachment no reason we can't force a vote every day https://citizensimpeachment.com/fiveminuteimpeachment/ #trump #fascism #ComradeKrasnov
A nice rest now, just a Champions League 2nd leg against some French team and a League Cup Final.
We can't know the future & so many are struggling in this world
Those who help most struggle most
Those who help least struggle least
The #middleclass produces despots by giving of themselves more to support #capitalism & #fascism, than ever to help those in #poverty
There's this state of #apathy & #complacency, built on fear, that keeps lined the pockets of those at upper echelons of #society
Like keeping those in power appeased, that they too aren't left with nothing

“[A]n increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated #feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed #experience that they are in #control of. [I]t feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own #agency. That is what I mean by algorithmic #complacency. More and more people don’t seem to know or #care how to view the #world without a #computer #algorithm guiding what they #see.”
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but complancy and a lack of curiosity killed the democracy.

I'm noticing that an awful lot of people are ONLY JUST NOW suddenly starting to realize the consequences of a second T**** term. They just weren't aware of what was at stake by allowing a #Hitler-quoting, twice impeached, #ClimateDenying #ConvictedFelon #AdjudicatedRapist who's going to abandon #Gaza & #Taiwan and destroy the #economy with massive #tariffs, to become president (again.)
#Harris' greatest enemy was #Complacency.
"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."

#EthnicCleansing & broadcasted ongoing #Genocide is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. It's not something you're supposed to feel good about. It's boundless human evils, in living colours, aired for the world to see. If you don't see ethnic cleansing happening & you're not legally blind - it's not your eyes that need fixing, it's a lack of #humanity which blinds.
Let your anger, discomfort, sadness & humanity move you to take some actions where you live.
Let it propel you to connect with #antiwar BIPOC folks & comrades - where you live & with online communities of activists who always need more help/volunteers.
Let it shake you out of robotic #apathy & privileged #complacency, as more brown peoples are still being massacred by #Israeli #terrorists daily.
These heavily funded/physically assisted Z terrorists are dependent on their #terrorism inducing puppeteer/super colonizers/genocide apologists/BIPOC murderers - USA.
Never forget #USAFundsGenocide. It's not the first time that they're involved in ethnic cleansing & violating #sovereignty of others. They have a long history of brutality against #BIPOC peoples - domestic & globally - that spans from its creation to present day.
USA & #Israel belong in the #Hague.

All I see around here is "one offs" with the idea to fulfill needs of single property. And yes... via those with the ability to write the large check.
For society - what would be better is "additive" to the grid - effectively a slow replace of the current power generation. Keep the natural gas units available to fill in, over time as new methods scale up.
It seems it is always wait till replace can happen. Then nothing. #Complacency

"The early hysteria about Trump has ended up submerging deep concerns about democracy in a haze of equivocation and complacency. Even people who have no particular love for Trump typically argue that life under his administration was mostly normal, and that all of the fears about how Trump could collapse American democracy were just overheated rhetoric."

"Trump’s autocratic instincts have now fully mutated into an embrace of fascism. And yet, America shrugs: Millions of voters think of the upcoming election as just another contest between a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat, instead of an existential contest between democracy and authoritarianism."

The #Sun’s 
activity has already surpassed the forecast, reaching levels not seen in 20 years, and #solar maximum 
may arrive within the next year, months ahead of its presumed schedule. At peak activity, the Sun more often unleashes particle storms that crash into #Earth, threatening #satellites 
, jamming #radio transmissions, and overloading #power 
grids. Because the previous cycle was unusually mild, “We’ve been lulled into a false sense of #complacency” https://www.science.org/content/article/peak-solar-activity-arriving-sooner-expected-reaching-levels-not-seen-20-years
Dad got #covid this summer with my cousin and sister because they all just wanted a British family birthday here in #BC for his 80th.
We had been booked to join them up coast but found out two days prior to leaving. We called off the trip with several folks covid sick at the house we were planning to stay.
It was then we discovered #bcferries no longer refunds for covid cancellations, as to them the pandemic is over. We had to pay to drop our reservation days from our trip, knowing the ferry we had reserved would only be 75% full.
For #BritishColumbia businesses like #bcferries, ignoring the pandemic is just an extra cash grab. Book another ferry now, pay us 20 bucks or go get sick. They ultimately profited off our loss.
#LetErRip #NewDeathParty, #NoDataParty #BCndp, #BCmedia, #bonniehenry and #adriandix are the pack of unrepentant #GBD spiders who’ve spun this covid web of deception lulling our population into #complacency and #ableism.
Profit over kindness is what they’ve successfully preached.
We must vote every one of these anti mask, anti health covid #minimizers out. We must demand a true independent inquiry of this #bcndp and their #GreatBarrington #Eugenics #LetErRip #surrender to #covid19bc.
#BCndp needs to #FireBonnieHenry and attempt to restore trust in #BCHealth. British Columbia deserves true health leadership, not more #lies and #propaganda from a longtime corrupt govt shill.
The lesson from the #Greece #wildfires ? The #climate #crisis is coming for us all
'The developed world needs to be shocked out of its #complacency about our #warming world, and the unexpected effects that will follow', writes Nesrine Malik in the Guardian
