This isn’t just a crisis. It’s a war. Which side are you on?"
From “Don’t Pay” rebellions to fossil fuel blockades and community counter-planning - people are fighting back. Or Something Worse reveals how we can seize the transition, dismantle green capitalism, and build a future that works for all — not just the powerful.
A future stolen in the name of "sustainability.” Governments and corporations are waging a one-sided class war, dressing up exploitation as progress while workers struggle and communities collapse. But resistance is growing.
Summary: "The net-zero transition isn’t saving the planet — it’s a rigged game where the rich get richer and the rest of us pay the price. Or Something Worse exposes the brutal truth: green capitalism is a scam. Soaring bills. Broken promises./
