Hydrocarbons come from plankton and trees. Life will continue like it did millions of years ago. Uprooted people will just give more power to those in control.

The weather will just make farming output decline, food will be insecure, which gives more power to the people who can own land and defend it against starving masses.

Read about the French revolution.

The French royals didn't have mechadogs to protect them, or social media to distract their subjects. I think they believe themselves safe this time (but I hope they're wrong)

The Bourgeoisie toppled the Aristocracy by using the starving masses. Only the Bourgeoisie is left. Who should organize and finance a revolution?

Showerthoughts

44463 readers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
