The eco-fear signs are getting very provocative... re: Climate Crisis (activism)... this sign is one of the the most overt I've seen come from activists on the street. One one hand it is a good thing, and from a fearist perspective it is not a good thing as the climate crisis activists (of the Left) are falling into the same trap of fearologics as many conservatives fall into--that is, targeting fearmongering at things that make up the political sphere--by which there is an attempt to create terror(ism), fearism-t and basically a saturation of rhetoric of fear to 'get one's way' --and this is a sure way to undermine the political sphere and sociality fabrics of collaboration--yes, this unfortunately is not a healthy politicization of fear (see Furedi, F. (2018). Fear and the Renunciation of Politics. https://amercianaffairsjournal.org/2018/11/fear-and-the-renunciation-of-politics/
