Politicians should give us something meaningful to do: Carpool, drive 4 necessity, ration air travel, buy/grow local, and in the meantime, we’ll ramp up the transition off fossil fuels. Trouble is, Jimmy Carter told people to put on a sweater in 1979 and lost an election. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
They would rather torch the planet than introduce fair rationing, because there can be no fair rationing without wealth redistribution. Thank you for sticking with this until the end! — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
Moral of the story: we are capable of sacrifice, but "we" are not equally responsible for over consumption, and unless sacrifice is led by the most wasteful over-consumers, it will fail. The underlying problem is the usual one: a refusal of the political class to take on the rich — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
So we shouldn't be surprised that @elonmusk is telling us that the solution is to ramp up oil and gas production - he knows that if we were serious about cutting off Russian oil in a sensible way, the first thing to go would be billionaires like him blasting themselves into orbit — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
In the United States, cases were brought against some of the largest corporations in the country. Many large U.S. manufacturers strongly opposed the whole rationing system but were forced to accept it all the same. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
Governments made sure that there were very public crackdowns on wealthy and well-connected ppl who broke the rules, sending the message that no one was exempt. In the U.K., film stars and corporations like Woolworth and Sainsbury faced prosecution for rations violations. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
There was plenty of cheating and black-market profiteering, but the theme of equality pervaded government rationing campaigns: “Fair Shares for All” was a key slogan in the U.K, the U.S. went with “Share and Share Alike” and “Produce, Conserve, Share and Play Square.” — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
.. that if you are going to ask people to sacrifice, fairness is paramount. In Britain + North America, everyone was required to make do with less during the war, even the very rich. Yet interestingly, poor ppl in the U.K. had more to eat under rationing than they did without. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
He blamed a general culture of excess and did not emphasize fairness or justice – a.k.a. the need for rich over-consumers to bear the brunt of the sacrifice, while making sure that workers and the poor have enough. In short, he failed to learn the lesson of WWII, which was... — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
Ever since, the received wisdom in the expert class has been that asking people to consume less is the kiss of political death. This has shaped the green movement’s win-win messaging for decades. But Carter’s approach was deeply flawed. Why? — PolitiTweet.org

Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
Instead, they brag about increasing production so we don't have to make any lifestyle changes whatsoever. It’s insulting: people feel helpless and are capable of making sacrifices for meaningful solidarity. We are also scared about climate change, another existential threat. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
Today, we also need to conserve oil, not for the army but to be able to cut off Russian imports. Yet unlike during WWII, today’s leaders do not have the guts to ask people to make sacrifices. In fact, they would rather sacrifice the habitability of the planet than make that ask. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
Then, they needed to free up available oil for fighter jets, tanks and war ships. And they did it. In the U.K. during the war, pleasure driving was virtually eliminated. Between 1938-1944, use of public transit went up by 87 % in the U.S. and by 95 % in Canada. That's staggering. — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
It's the scariest word in politics but we need to say it: rationing. We hear, and feel, that we on the cusp of WWIII. If that’s true, we should take a page from the home-front of WWII, which also required a sudden transformation of energy systems in North America, UK, + elsewhere — PolitiTweet.org
Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
🧵In all the talk about ways to pressure Putin by kicking Russian oil imports, we almost never hear about the simplest thing of all. It’s not ramp up more production or build new fossil fuel infrastructure, but something we can do right now: *consume less oil and gas.* — PolitiTweet.org
