The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

To be clear, it doesn’t make you a visionary or genius to want to discard the incredibly complex and special planet we have, in favour of a staggeringly less habitable planet that only the mega-rich could hope to get to. It takes a superhuman level of lazy, toddler-like selfishness and squandering.
