    Chapter 2: Remembrance​

    "Lighting: a hundred Watts
    Detroit, Newark and New York
    Screeching nerves, exploding minds
    lives tied to
    a policeman's whistle
    a welfare worker's doorbell
    finger."

    Damn LA, you're in a bad way. Also shit, I've been in and around Sepulveda Basin, so that got to me a bit.

    Also, fuck me, imagine locking down a city the size of Los Angeles.

    Hey, at least going from San Antonio to the abandoned ruins of Miami by train is now faster than by car (because the highway is closed).

    well alrighty then

    So what stage of this video would you estimate ttl is in by 2023?

    Yeah, I'd agree with Trescow. Stage 3-4 in the developed world, Stage 7-8 in the developing world.

    Yeah, shit's going down in L.A. I basically had this video in mind while making the map (minus the cilantro part... maybe).

    this is such a bizarre election with so much clearly going on in the world around it, i love it!!!
    Schultz winning Texas/Louisiana but losing Colorado and Oregon/Washington and so many other blue states is so interesting, what’s going on there?

    (also out of curiosity, what was the original piece supposed to be? if you want to say)

    The L in CO and the PNW is most likely due to vote splitting with the Greens - same reason why NY and WA went Red in 2016. As for Texas and Louisiana, I'm guessing they shifted Blue because of the climate crisis being much worse than OTL, and Republicans being Republicans. After all, Louisiana went Blue in 2008 as well, if you look back there.

    Yeah, as Cascadiawank said, the Greens split the vote heavily in many traditionally blue states. In NC, GA, and TX, the ruby red suburbs have grown tired of Republicans skirting around the issue of climate change when they can directly feel its effects. So they bit the bullet and voted Dem (they're the reasonable ones compared to the dirty Green commies that want to take your car and your AC).

    The original piece was supposed to be about Hawaii, but yeah real life news there recently hasn't been great. Probably not a good sign for OTL.

    Decommissioned in 2020 because neither NASA or the Russians had the budget to pay for it. ITTL, NASA's ambitions are even smaller than OTL (just put up a few new satellites here and there so we can monitor the dying planet).

    de-growthers are too moderate to save things in ttl
    they haven't done a montreal protocol type thing YET despite literal decades of evidenceo n why cfcs need to go
    this is probably one of those worlds where the ecofascists have a point

    The only actual position that would be radical enough to save Earth ITTL would be radical geoengineering.
    Put a shitload of nanoparticles in the upper atmosphere and drop asteroids on the Sahara and the Outback if necessary.
