Authoritarian/collectivist governments have killed around 100M people in the past century; a number comparable to the predictions of climate crises over the next century.

There’s a reason people insist on societies based around individual liberty and citizen empowerment — they work! They’re what has led to the greatest increase in human well-being the world has ever seen.

Suggesting authoritarianism in response to climate change is simply creating a second problem — and one that’s unlikely to solve the first.

So yes, people resist you trying a repeatedly failed idea again, just so you can be seen to be doing something.

I don't know why people see the only way to collective struggle being through an authoritarian battering ram. I think this says far more about you than you realize: the only way in which you could possibly imagine yourself working with another person is at the barrel of a gun.

And your plans for those who won't work with you (for whatever reason) to address the collective struggle are...?

I'm in favor of any solution that even so much as attempts to price-in externalities into the market. Examples are carbon taxes and tariffs.

Now what's your solution that doesn't tread on my individual liberty?
