-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I see you're complaining about climate change again.
Have you personally spent your entire life recycling everything you can, composting all organic materials you touch, eliminating all red meat intake, planting multiple trees per year, growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own, avoiding purchasing any plastics despite everything being packaged as such, not buying anything anything beyond your extreme basic necessities, never flying in an airplane for any reason, preferring to keep anything broken and virtually unusable instead of replacing it since repairing it is either unavailable or too expensive, and only riding ebikes or only driving Teslas to save the environment?
No? Then you're the real problem and you can't complain.
What's funny is I started doing that years ago less for the reduced carbon footprint of growing stuff that actually thrives in my local climate compared to buying produce from a grocer and more as a zen-finding exercise so [redacted]
gardening is cool mainly bc it encourages people to eat plants but for most foods the carbon footprint impact of growing locally is basically nothing
wut
edit:
still wut

oh rad thanks
technically yes but the total amount is so tiny it's not even worth discussing
even the beef isn't worth discussing compared to the CO2 emitted from driving and doing a bullshit job
I don't see any cows out there drilling for oil.
All the small farmers are going out of business and the corporations are moving in with their AI powered sustainable drone systems, stop swallowing the anti farmer propaganda.
Let's put the oil barons out of business before we put our farmers out of business.
This rhetoric is how you end up getting your daily food rations off Musky and his sustainable lab meat. Consolidation food production is not going to work out great for you average human, VC money funding grassroots left right and centre in this scene also, it's all propaganda.
jesse what the fuck are you talking about
If you can't comprehend what i said then the message wasn't for you.
You think methane emissions from cattle magically reduces because they're grown on a small farm? Our atmosphere doesn't give a shit if the greenhouse gases came from a factory farm or an artisanal homestead, it's all the same in the end.
it is all the same in the end
huh?
Think about what i said, it helps with understanding and stop you from falling for bullshit.
oil executives are made out of backwards chiral proteins, probably aliens
I mean you should be trying to do some of these as much as possible...
big "oh you claim to care about animals but you still eat cheese then you're the problem" vibes, like... yes, that is actually correct?
Yeah, true that these things are good to do, but expecting all or even most of these things from working class or poor people is unrealistic at this point.
And realistically they would be better able to do these things and the environment would be better if the social economy was organized differently, which once again leads us to criticizing Capitalism as the principle issue instead of blaming individuals surviving and living within their material conditions, so I think people who blame individuals but are unwilling to support any shift in economy or politics are more to blame than people just trying to get by and doing what they can with what they are given.
Even if they did all that, they'd wipe out all that carbon-savings by having a single kid in the US.
ever wished there were a way to score free meat, do good for oppressed people, eliminate animal cruelty AND save the environment at the same time?
don't look up "how many cops are there" and do not harvest the carbon negative pork!
