It's also possible to be a person who genuinely cares about classic art and the environment already. And it's also possible to be a poor person with little to no power to influence the fossil fuel industry. Chiding people for not having the privilege of free time and minimal obligations to protest isn't very productive. Again, change needs to happen at the top and it's not going to be achieved through appeals to emotion or coercion via symbolic or actual threats to famous art or sites.

I will not be fair, the publication isn't. Why should I?

Because arguing dishonestly makes you look irrational and does their propaganda work for them.

but you are more likely to try to distance yourself from fossil fuel reform movements, and that's all they need you to do to be successful.

Not really. This isn't an effective form of protest or reform. Stunts like this allow articles like this to be written in the first place, but the stunts, even if written of with the highest of praise, are useless. Effective action would involve changing the minds of those who profit from fossil fuels the most and making it unprofitable for them to continue. You don't need to convince people who care about world heritage sites or famous artwork. You need to convince the profiteers of industry and that won't come from an appeal to emotion but from a threat to their financial well-being.

I completely forgot about that game until you mentioned it. Fun times.

You're really killing it here. Put me in my place. I'm jealous of a rando on the Internet who thinks his life is so good that he has to tell other people that they're jealous.

I'm just here wasting the time of a troll and letting him spin out in rants and non sequiturs. Keep going. I'm sure you'll convince us you don't care with more effort.

I hated it when older people said this to me, so you probably won't appreciate my perspective now, but you have a vast amount of life ahead of you with a lot more information you can encounter that will contradict what you think you know for certain right now. And you'll encounter newer information after that that will contradict the previous new truths you felt so enlightened to recognize. You don't have to listen to me at all of course, but if you think you already know what you believe, you don't need to make a post here to discuss it. If you're not open to the thoughts of others, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time soliciting them. If you're just looking for affirmations of your pre-existing perspectives, a chatbot might be a better outlet.

I'd recommend taking some sociology, anthropology, and political science courses in college if you'd like to delve deeper into these topics. There's a lot of scholarship out there on these issues to explore.

The lack of punctuation in the post text seems problematic.

This sounds like a walkaway hashtag comment.

As a human, you've probably made a lot of mistakes, but that's okay as long as you learn from them and they didn't hurt anyone.
