I am an Anti-Authoritarian!
The number one thing that people say back to you is. What's an authoritarian?
BEN-GHIAT: On the one hand, this speaks to what we said before, that we have not done a good enough job of civic education. One of the biggest tragedies of authoritarian rule, no matter how the people, the demagogues get to power, is that they encourage people to act and vote against their own interests.

Michael Moore Presents: Planet of the Humans | A Film by Jeff Gibbs | Fu...
This was the 2nd time I watched this, and it's a bit of propaganda, that implies that the 'green industries' are not really as good or as much of a solution as they claim. It uses 20-year-old data and doesn't recognize the true size of the Carbon Fuel Energy problems. There is truly a lot of 'greenwashing' marketing, virtue signaling, and corporate profiteering, but the money 'wasted' on clean-renewable energy is about 2% of what is wasted just on the SUBSIDIES the U.S. puts on Carbon Fuels (about $90-billion/year, not including oil wars and their costs, see Israel).
So, if you go to the store and buy 'organic' foods, but find out you just spent something extra for no real difference (hint: all food is organic), did you waste it on marketing? I guess. Is it a placebo? Does it make you FEEL better, and does that give you value? I know we choose not to develop clean energy as sustainable, but that is a choice, we could have solar-powered solar-panel factories in the southwest USA, but we chose to import from China because China is our slave, they work for nothing and are willing to pollute their side of the Earth and live in it.
We could connect the grid nationally. We could require all new buildings to be net-zero. We could regulate all roofs to have solar, and every community to recycle all its waste. These are choices.
We will walk away from fossil fuels, they are finite, and climate change is irreversible for thousands of years, so there will be a crisis, and videos like this will be seen as part of the problem. Most of the human and animal population will be gone.
