+### @{nightingale-2020}
+
+Lots of interesting comments on why managerialist discourses obscure what's
+really going on. Posit nature and society as separate, not connected. Lead to
+techno-managerial solutions instead of political-economic ones, therefore fail.
+Lots and lots of references to investigate further. I didn't have time just now.
+
+### @{climate-change-class-war}
+
+Criticises 'carbon footprint' and 'believe the science' discourse. This obscures
+the truth: climate change is a class problem. The only solution is class action.
+
+### @{warm-words}
+
+The whole language landscape affects how a text is received; so one text may
+express one view, another the opposite, and the net result for the audience is:
+I guess nobody really knows, even though neither of the texts said that!
+
+Alarmist rhetoric gets shut down by settlerdom discourse: common sense, comic
+nihilism.
