Dear Daily Disaster Diary, 28.September 2024

 The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.

- Paul Valery


... "and think of all these exaggerated measures in an attempt to stop global warming. We're moving billions, harassing drivers, ripping the heating systems out of houses to reduce global CO2 emissions from 0.17% to 0.10%. My dear friends, this has nothing to do with reason or balance anymore. This is a fanatical delusion we're being confronted with, and we urgently need a course correction..." - Herbert Kickl, FPÖ, speech from September 27, 2024.


Dear Austria,

You just experienced one of the worst floods in your history, and this is the best you get?

Is it possible to reconcile migration and flood protection in a political program? 

Even if the FPÖ’s election manifesto doesn’t mention the word "climate change," they could still talk about adaptive measures. 

So, what is it with right-wing extremists and their aversion to extreme weather?

" Let`s build Fortress Austria,” Kickl said last year. 

Well, at this point, anything that can stop the next flood is welcome!

Austria, handle your ballots with care. The National Socialists only needed 33.1 percent to dissolve Parliament and install a dictatorship! 

Austria, don’t copy Hungary, where Viktor Orbán has steadily succeeded in bringing the judiciary and media under his control.

China? An alternative? An authoritarian capitalism that survives only through the tools of a digital surveillance state. No, thanks. 

Or how about Putin's reactionary dictatorship, which thrives on a corrupt patronage system? We didn`t think so.

September 29 is no easy choice.

Sincerely,
Adaptationguide

Adapt or Die
