    It does read useless but not necessarily dumb, just in vain. For me it acknowledges that we should put a lot more responsibility for the rich and powerful undermining our collective effort.

    Yeah, no amount of propaganda is going to get me to stop understanding math.

      I fucking can’t with this dumb fucking shit. Like why the fuck do I need to explain to you how everyone doing something makes the impact. Nobody is expecting you to do it alone. Like why do you place that burden to explain something like that on others.

        You don’t need to explain anything, I fully understand the angle. It’s just bullshit and you bought the lie.

        Every single American could stop using plastic straws tomorrow, and the outcome would be negligible compared to what would happen if a single fossil fuel corporation shut down.

    I just don’t agree with you about that. I don’t think yours is a ridiculous read on it, I just don’t perceive that myself. I think the part you are mentioning is what you’re inferring, not what it’s implying or stating.

      Part of the reason is because the first place I saw posts like this was on right wing spaces. They were often trying to say how climate activists like Greta or Bill Nye or even celebrities that try to push climate action are also using private jets or other modes of transportation to get around.

      On the surface it sounds good. But I guarantee you this is a primer.

        I guess we’ll have to make our own memes that are similar but convey the proper message about capitalism and institutional responsibility.
