It's always crazy to come into threads like these and see people say "I would murder as many elites as possible" without batting an eye, and in the same comment say "I could never give up hamburgers." It's some kind of insane self-soothing to throw all of the responsibility for a global issue onto a few scapegoats. It also shows that people have no intention of doing fuck all about climate change beyond typing up snarky comments on the internet.
People can misquote all kinds of studies they half remember to pretend that they have no responsibility for making changes, but that doesn't make it true. Just as one example, first world countries' per-capita rate of meat consumption alone is enough to push the world over our 1.5C warming target. But because it's an inconvenience to make any changes to my life, I'm going to pretend I would personally kill scores of people rather than make a new recipe for dinner. We're fucked
The CO2 impact of one member of the Parasite Class is usually in excess of 100,000 working-class people, and if a personal jets and yachts are involved, can exceed the impact of 1,000,000 working-class people.
So yes, violently denuding the Parasite Class (which can also be done via effective taxation; just saying) is an effective way to combat climate change, provided the outcome doesn’t involve the working class adopting more excessive lifestyles due to more a equitable distribution of wealth.
Gee, I wonder who lives there
i love corn(?)-based meat patties, but i haven't really seen any meat replacements like the impossible burger anywhere for sale where i live. people just don't want to never taste meat again, a replacement would work fine. probably.
