Fuck, this is seriously bad news

I always expected us to never address our ecological destruction or climate change in any meaningful way, and instead devolve into some techno-feudalist, fascist dystopia before the civilisation collapses into a death spiral... But man... I've never wanted to be wrong more in my entire life.

Watching the EU regress in unison, back down the auth path, is not how I expected it would go down.
