You’re way overthinking it. He and his followers are hardcore capitalists, and to them, property crimes are the worst kind of crime you can commit.

You think you were, but you weren’t, because radiation doesn’t work like carcinogens do.

I don’t have a solution for this catastrophic injustice all over the world

I sure do, but I’m not about to get put on a watchlist for suggesting it.

And I explained why that “refutation” is horseshit. If you expect a nation full of people who can barely make ends meet to pay more for the same product and worse service, you need to compensate them for the cost difference. If you’re not willing to do that, shut the fuck up.

True, it was never going to work as intended, but Reagan didn’t know that.

Sure he did. Do you really think he didn’t have any advisors or scientists telling him what a stupid idea it was? The point was never for it to work, just to funnel money weapons contractors.

It’s pretty fucking hard not to shop at near monopolies when they have a near monopoly and buying from the manufacturer costs an extra 50% because of the extra shipping. Not many products, even brand name one, are high enough quality anymore to justify that. In fact, Carhartt is a prime example of that; for example, they stopped making their shirts out of cotton and make them out almost entirely out of trash-grade scratchy polyester now.

Someone should tell this guy about AWS.

That’s a weird thing to assume. It’s not that uncommon for very well off people to drive beaters for daily use.

France is the “country of human rights”

There has literally never been a single moment in history when this was even remotely true. France has done more harm to humanity than nearly any other civilization in recorded history.

Next you can get involved with politics.

Sorry, I have to actually work for a living to keep a fucking roof over my head and food on my table. I literally couldn’t make the time if I tried, and I sure as shit don’t have the money.

After that maybe donate some money and so on…

What money? I live in America, where the overwhelming majority live paycheck to paycheck and struggle just to get by.

And who should I give it to? Some limp dick lobbying group pushing for glacially incremental change and that no one in government gives a fuck about? Hard pass.

But sure, keep blaming the victims and jerking off the villains. I’m sure it’ll all work out great for you.

Unless you expect people to start murdering oil executives and climate denier politicians, you’re wrong. Teslas and paper staws are never going to make a difference, because consumer-level pollution isn’t the problem.

What reason is there not to be defeatist? We already fucking lost decades ago.

You people keep saying “we” as if you have any influence. The solution can only be reached through worldwide government regulation that literally cannot be achieved. You’re living in a fantasy when you should be getting ready for imminent disaster.

Shitty art is still art.

Too bad. There’s no chance this doesn’t happen after the agricultural collapse. Well, the first bit, anyway.

False optimism is as toxic as unjustified defeatism. Be realistic.

We can’rt do shit. The only things rhat could potentially have any meaningful impact are government regulation or the killing of CEOs and big investors en masse, and neither one is going to happen.

The “sea people” weren’t a bunch of starving refugees, they were well-supplied and organized military invasion forces, but sure.

We’re well beyond the point of industrial activity being done “more safely.” Either it stops entirely, or everything collapses before the turn of the next century.

Carbon offset isn’t real.
