Not that responding to fascism with incredible violence isn't based, but stuff like love and hope and other lame sentiments like that are actually necessary to defeating it. People fall to fascism when they lose hope for a better future.
Dealing with climate change isn't a binary either/or thing, there's a huge range of potential outcomes we could fall into. Suffice to say that the more we do to reduce pollution now the better things will be in the future, even if we've missed our chance to completely avoid significant warming. We've only barely invested in renewable energy and it's still having a massive impact on emissions.
There's a difference between acknowledging the problem and going around telling people that the problem is hopeless and we're all doomed. I certainly didn't find it especially informative.
We need to make counter memes for this bullshit, everyone circlejerking each other over how hopeless the situation is doesn't help anyone.
I promise you we don't need fusion just to survive, we just need better policies. Please don't give up.
No it's absolutely that serious, pushing climate despair is the current number one tactic of oil billionaires.
You realize that corporations are smoothly pivoting from promoting climate denial to promoting climate despair, right? They want you to think that it's hopeless and that there's no point in trying, but we actually still have a chance to prevent the worst climate change outcomes. Please stop spreading this shit.
Well I definitely misremembered on the milk thing, looking it up the statistics seem pretty clear that dairy production is more demanding than the alternatives. I still think that regulation will have more of an effect than trying to change the minds of individuals though, I wouldn't dismiss the kind of impact it can have.
Sometimes you got the hunger, you got that rumbly in your tumbly. And you eat a whole lot of lasagna.
I believe that's referred to as a "thumb". They're actually quite common.
