Should we get our thought leadership on climate change from the CEO of BP? Maybe he can fly in on his private jet to lecture us about how fossil-fuel-producing algae are the future of energy. Maybe I can get a T-shirt as swag! They've got polyester!

As little sand grains of useful antifascist resistance, I think it's our social obligation to tune these clowns out, deride the very idea of their authority, and warn each other about the controlled opposition that's expecting us to show up as an audience.
