Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

my bet is on the second option.
and once the damage becomes undeniable even to them, itll turn from fakenews and lies into the wrath of god. (the obviously saw coming all along)
and instead of even trying to fix anything,
they'll persecute those who they blame.
Yup, it's absolutely just going to get more and more deranged.
We're already seeing reich-wingers outright deny that eg. southern Europe has had an unusually hot heatwave – or even a heatwave at all. I've seen more than one claim that some of the forest fires we've had around Europe either didn't happen or were caused by – surprise surprise – foreigners purposefully setting fire to them because reasons.
I figure that once things get extremely bad, they'll absolutely keep denying humanity has anything to do with it, but the social instability that extreme climate change will cause will be a great excuse for them to start outright murdering "leftists" (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites), or at least more than they already are at any rate.
