Nah, it's colonial settlers living in a place where they shouldn't, and then capitalists plastering everything with heat-absorbing asphalt because it's more profitable to force people into car-centric hellholes. If you are unfortunate enough to live in a place like that, prepare a backup power source, because it's not feasible to build a power grid which never has blackouts.

Of course, it would be nice to have a government that would provide everyone in such regions with backup electricity sources, but that ain't happening with capitalists in power, and recommending that grandma should lead a communist uprising is not that helpful

You just need to take a firm grip on your bootstraps and lift, clearly

Nothing says good socialist political instincts quite like leaving a bunch of bunch of working class people to die of heatstroke because they had the audacity to be born in the southeastern US and then whitewashing that by calling them settlers despite a third of them being descended from slaves.

It is interesting watching someone from outside leftist spaces try to co-opt leftist language. They use the words right, but they don't realise that the meaning behind the words is what is important.
