  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.

        Plastic straws isn’t to fix climate change. It was a solution to help reduce these straws from ending up in the environment and causing impacts to marine life. It did accomplish a reduction in risk to marine life and all it took was being an adult and buying your own reusable straw.

        You bought the lie

        You’re right about corporations need to make the change. But your wrong about the rest

  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.

        Honestly fuck yea. We are sleeping on how important memes and shit posts are too keeping pressure on and spreading ideas.

        Just an example, Mehdi was on Jubilee the other day. The amount of clips is incredible. If I clip one, where do I share it here on Lemmy that would be worth the effort?
