Monbiat’s frustration and anger really comes through with this opinion piece. I agree with him pretty much entirely. Our planet us reaching or already beyond its limits for several global systems and yet we are doing effectively nothing about it. The inaction, as he highlights, is primarily because the plutocrats think it will be bad for business. We need to be raising hell about this… we’re running toward a massive collapse of modern human civilization.

You can’t know everything, but someone knows what you don’t. Build a community and talk with people - ask questions and form relationships with other gardeners because the passion you feel is shared among many others.

I don’t miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

Spot on. The “elites” and their puppets will not face consequences because they designed the system to benefit themselves. He will continue to be a corrupt parasite and make rulings that will take rights away from people not of the moneyed class.
