*As climate catastrophes worsen the insecurity of the white so-called middle class will only intensify as well, and for good reason. As it does an even greater number of white folks will choose from a fascist movement that speaks to their loss of power and invites them to reclaim it (from the wrong people) by force, or a Black Lives Matter movement that literally ignores their existence. Which will they choose?*

I'm going to oppose fascism (a form of illiberal plutocracy) no matter what, just as I am going to oppose racism no matter what. The violence of thugs against blacks is vicious, so I will oppose that no matter what. This is because of my adherence in a universal standard of justice, one that has nothing to do with identity.

I hope that those who campaign against those forms of evil will recognize the need for a universal standard of justice. Without that, their campaigns will undermine their own moral foundation as well as their chances to win general support.
