really hard to overstate how horrendous the oil industry has been for every aspect of human society--the biggest source of industrial pollution and also the biggest funder of reactionary politics
The oil magnates were the first to perceive the prize that could be extracted from the wide distribution of the motorcar. If people could be induced to travel in cars, they could be sold the fuel necessary to move them. For the first time in history, people would become dependent for their locomotion on a commercial source of energy. There would be as many customers for the oil industry as there were motorists—and since there would be as many motorists as there were families, the entire population would become the oil merchants’ customers. The dream of every capitalist was about to come true. Everyone was going to depend for their daily needs on a commodity that a single industry held as a monopoly.

Just your latest reminder that, although everyone has decided to stop talking about climate change, it is still very much happening -- worse and faster than predicted.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like
