except it reads as if its all useless and dumb. I don't understand how people don't see this as that?
It's not created to get people to be more on board with climate change policy. It's meant to point out that we just shouldn't do any of it.
It does read useless but not necessarily dumb, just in vain. For me it acknowledges that we should put a lot more responsibility for the rich and powerful undermining our collective effort.
Yeah, no amount of propaganda is going to get me to stop understanding math. Nothing I do as an individual will ever be even a molecule in a drop in a bucket.
I fucking can't with this fucking shit. Like why the fuck do I need to explain to you how everyone doing something makes the impact. Nobody is expecting you to do it alone. Like why do you place that burden to explain something like that on others. An absolute tragedy you have a brain that produces a thought like this. I'm just fucking embarrassed for your parents honestly.
You don't need to explain anything, I fully understand the angle. It's just bullshit and you bought the lie.
Every single American could stop using plastic straws tomorrow, and the outcome would be negligible compared to what would happen if a single fossil fuel corporation shut down.
Any real, viable solution to climate change necessarily begins with corporate regulation. Their effect on the environment is several orders of magnitude higher than any other group. To the point where the damage they do completely overshadows any possible good that individual humans could ever do.
Plastic straws isn't to fix climate change. It was a solution to help reduce these straws from ending up in the environment and causing impacts to marine life. It did accomplish a reduction in risk to marine life and all it took was being an adult and buying your own reusable straw.
You bought the lie
You're right about corporations need to make the change. But your wrong about the rest
Math isn't a lie.
But whatever lets you get to sleep at night I guess.
What's the math?
I just don’t agree with you about that. I don’t think yours is a ridiculous read on it, I just don’t perceive that myself. I think the part you are mentioning is what you’re inferring, not what it’s implying or stating.
Part of the reason is because the first place I saw posts like this was on right wing spaces. They were often trying to say how climate activists like Greta or Bill Nye or even celebrities that try to push climate action are also using private jets or other modes of transportation to get around.
On the surface it sounds good. But I guarantee you this is a primer.
It's a way to target climate activists and force them to target by bicycle. It's goal is to make any climate action hypocritical.
I guess we’ll have to make our own memes that are similar but convey the proper message about capitalism and institutional responsibility.
Honestly fuck yea. We are sleeping on how important memes and shit posts are too keeping pressure on and spreading ideas.
Just an example, Mehdi was on Jubilee the other day. The amount of clips is incredible. If I clip one, where do I share it here on Lemmy that would be worth the effort?
