My House Has Been Invaded By Tarantulas
What am I to do?
Imagine a bunch of these. Thousands. All over your house. Crawling. Taking over.
And you just sit there.
Do nothing.
Most of us would run out. Or grab a flame thrower. Set the joint on fire. Burn it down and burn them out.
Why did I post a tarantula?
Everything bad that could have happened in America has happened now. And there is little, if any resistance from the other political party in America. I am talking about the Democrats.
They watched the tarantulas come into the house and they sat there and watched them, come in. They did not come with the fire. They just sat there.
You know the saying — if your house is full of tarantulas you probably want them in there. You like them in there.
It is as bad as the great Bill McKibben continuing to wish and hope the fossil fuel companies will stop killing us. They won’t, Bill. Not until we come with the flame thrower.
Andreas Malm wrote a book called, How To Blow Up A Pipeline recently. He too is tired of the tarantulas in his house and your house and my house. He strongly suggests that the only way they will pay attention and think of leaving is because of a flame thrower.
