I am sooooo fucking sick and tired of people touting out that tired cliché to defend capitalists…

I think instead we should start saying “don’t let the manipulation by their benefactors stand in the way of the reality of the systems they maintain”.

I doubt anyone is expecting perfection at this point, I know I’m not (it being a literal impossibility and all), but them pretending to be “good” and you buying it, doesn’t actually make it any good at all (as I said - it’s just giving them the space to continue as they are for a fee that they will never pay, their trapped customers will).

Defending this bullshit as the good we should be happy to compromise for serves no one but the people running the oil companies (and the politicians they pay to ensure such legislation has no legs).

You are playing their game, and supporting their team, bathing in the placation of their greenwashing and letting them get away with it. That is what’s in the way of good.

So they can pay a relative pittance to keep chugging along uninterrupted, and pass the cost on to the consumer.
Yeah, that’ll fix things…

Letting the rich know people can get right up to them and mess with their shit is a good thig. Next time perhaps make it a cocktail party (just make sure no crew are around)…

Just another typical non-apology, nothing to see here…

Advertising is 95% lies. Companies not lying is the tool to better choices.

FTFY

It’s funny in a sad sort of way that anyone is still expecting governments to step in and do something, when they already are doing something - letting you know that cutting costs will always be a higher priority than cutting carbon (or other pollutants, or human rights violations). They don’t see the tax pot as ours, they see it as theirs, to spend and speculate with as they see fit. What do they care, when it all comes crashing down they have their own golden cushions to fall back on while the rest of society (and life on earth as we know it) crashes and burns.

New England stone walls lie at the intersection of history, archaeology, ecology and geoscience

Also, cinema

This reminded me of those msn messenger nudges from back in the day… I’m definitely not the target audience this time around… 😂

Mmmmmm, eugenics…

Back in my day no one had to tell us not to put a banana in our ear, I’m telling you, the youth of today… Shakes fist angrily at clouds

(sorry, it’s the first thing my brain pulled up when I read the title 😂😂)

Maybe you should read that link too, and maybe a few others before making such statements.

The whole idea of anarchism and communism is to abolish hierarchy. Things being the way they are now doesn’t mean it is inevitable for them to always be like this.

It says more about you and how much you have to unlearn of your indoctrination (as well as how powerful and successful it is) that you can’t see beyond it, than it does about the possibility of a better future outside of the social constructs you are familiar with (and which have only been around for a tiny blip of human history).

They touch on it in 3, but I agree it could probably use its own bullet point.

even communism has a 1% north Korea is a good example of this

Lol, tell me you know nothing about communism without saying you know nothing about communism

(a hint for those who won’t even click the link because challenging their bias is too scary: communism by definition cannot have a 1%, and using North Korea as an example of it is like using Nazis as an example of socialism)

That ghost fart made me cackle 😂

forcing the state to justify its stance

This is it right there, the whole entire point that people here (and I’m sure elsewhere) have spent days deliberately missing.

This isn’t about a wheelchair user getting arrested and then complaining that they arrested him, it’s about a wheelchair user showing the world that not only are the emergency forces not trained or equipped to treat him and others like him equally or even properly in a case of emergency (be it arrest or rescue), but that they will sooner arrest you than allow you your civil rights under any excuse they can find (single person in scooter that can easily be got around is not disrupting and definitely not threatening anything). He wasn’t even being a “nuisance” by having a bullhorn or shouting, he was literally just sat there holding a sign. Like those Russians who got arrested (E: for silently holding a blank sign) and the entire world called brave, and their government fascists (both true, but apply equally here).

If that’s your takeaway from this article, you need to work on your reading comprehension.
Or your trolling skills.
Both are clearly piss poor.

Greenpeace are problematic enough in their own right for so many reasons and really don’t need saving, and Shell are doing so much worse elsewhere, this seems like such a poor choice of where to invest time energy and influence…

Lol, right, I’m sure she lived a life of poverty in a shack round the back of his mansion and had nothing to do with those ill-gotten billions and the privileges they bring… 🙄🙄

how to be a good billionaire

No such thing. You cannot get to that point without trampling all over and exploiting others.

give it all away at the first opportunity

Similarly, a person who would do this wouldn’t hoard enough to qualify in the first place

It is a capitalism issue
