Do you mind posting something meaningful instead of a tired and boring aphorism?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 28 points 2 years ago

It's not like posting anything meaningful here will change anything. The fuckheads that put the world in this situation laugh at our faces and of anyone who tries to undo their shit. They have money, what are we going to do? Sue them? They'll buy every lawyer everywhere. Ask for political reforms? Yeah, maybe in 2050 something might pass. Picket outside the companies? Gee, that worked so well with Occupy Wall Street, didn't it?

You realize there's only two ways this is going to be dealt with, right? One, we have to murder the rich assholes who invested in fossil fuel production. Two, everyone needs to be able to migrate everywhere; climate migration is going to have to be embraced, even if it means a bunch of selfish bastard conservatives don't like the economic fallout. But no, that's not good enough for any of you to look at and say "okay, we have a chance to make the most of this".

My childhood in the late 90s and early 00s was STOLEN from me by government cronies who literally ripped me away from my family for several years. I lived in BC, Canada. I was BORN here in Canada and my dad and grandfather were as well. There's no reason I alone shouldn't have gotten to enjoy that period, playing Pokemon and Neopets in my parent's home.

But no. Thanks a lot to all you fuckers, the economic golden age that has existed since the 50s is gone forever and I'll never live to see anything remotely as optimistic. I hate all of you and if this whole damn planet doesn't choke on you not giving up just a bit of comfort so people less fortunate than you don't have to struggle just to make ends meet, I will literally start setting oil refineries on fire. GO FUCKING DIE, EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU.

what are we going to do?

Practice my aim I guess

I was so hoping that crap like this, FAFO, and the other weak sauce bullshit wouldn't make it over here. I was stupid for even hoping that.

[-] vimdiesel@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That's literally impossible when you're on the internet, you just hope to see less of it.

It's slacktivism. If we keep saying the meme words something is bound to come from it

To what end? You think a user comment on Lemmy is going to change emissions policies? Direct your ire somewhere it might actually make a single bit of difference instead of just perpetuating the infighting that gets nothing done. If you're going to waste your time on the subject, spend your thumb-taps on an email to your congressman instead.

We're way past that.
