We live in a world where money is Supreme. And we live such that if we tried to go strike or protest in some form, we would be out of a job and living on the streets pretty quick. It’s all by design.
Yes. My guess is that, soon enough, just wearing a police uniform will be enough to end up on kill lists.
Kind of like Colombia during narco wars, except it’s going to be everywhere, no matter what kind of cop.
Cops will need to watch their backs even more when people have less and less to lose, and believe less and less in the ‘rule of law’ that constantly fucks them over.
Because denial isn’t over because corporations who make their money off things that make climate change worse spend tons of money to manufacture disinformation and continue to mislead people just like they’ve been doing for over 50 years.
Yeah. I’m in Appalachia where most everyone I went to school with believes whatever latest variation of climate-denial messaging their ridiculous right-wing media ecosystem spits out this week. Obviously a lot of money still funneled into promotion of these ideas. Watched a bunch die unnecessarily of COVID when that same messaging was telling them vaccines were more dangerous than the virus.
Greed.
Until we start executing & incarcerating politicians & CEOs for ecocide, this will not stop.
Just offset it, bro. Just one more capitalism, bro.
I’m paying $10 extra on my intercontinental flight, so it’s Carbon Neutral™
@KISSmyOS @rickdg if realistic, that would offset on average 1 ton of co2e, so at that rate it would only cost $150 per year per person in the US to render the US carbon neutral.
You know, if the deal on offer from politicians was “pay $150 a year and we’ll stop climate change in its tracks” I’d go for it in a heartbeat.
Why do I suspect it costs rather more than $10 to *really* offset 1T of CO2e? :blobcatsadpats:
My efforts are like pissing in an active volcano to extinguish it.
