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

Yea whose the president?
We’ve had more protests in the past 10 years than any other time. None of them have accomplished much of anything.
You’d be lying to say otherwise. I’m sure you’ll try to find some policy or law that was implemented that nobody listens to as proof of action.
You can’t tell me there’s a global protest like George Floyd or no Kings and the result was what?? What the fuck did any of it accomplish. Insanity to continue with the idea that protests are doing anything other than given the opportunity to arrest thought leaders and kick in the heads of everything else.
You’re literally throwing bodies against an armed and trained force that watches you all protest like referees at a hockey game before they come in and break it all up. I’ve watched countless protests where the protesters are herded like cattle into pens before getting busted up. There’s no way you can tell me honestly that the authorities aren’t in love with the idea of you all showing up against their armed and trained forces. The left is doomed. It’s not just the Democrats who do these performative actions with no results. It’s all of the left.

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.

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?

Ok but is there any group or lobbyists who are advocating or will this just be a petition sent to them which they can just ignore.

And they also would own a computer and likely a rental or mortgage. You only need to be making $60000 a year to be considered the global 1%

There is no way that you believe people showing up in streets would do anything lol
That’s what the powerful hope we do. It’s the most useless action possible. It’s like trying to boil water by breathing hot air on it. You’ll get tired way before you get any boiling.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 1 day ago:
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.

The only way I see that happen is having the tools and ability to pirate any and all media like we had back in the napster days. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen these companies scared. A petition I don’t think will do much. Plus not only is there this issue. There is also the issue of groups now targeting the way funding works like on steam. Payment processes are now being used to apply pressure where certain groups do not like the content.

By the way, the left could have done this for any number of issues in the past but refused to.
Like how hard would it have been if everyone who showed up to a George Floyd protest instead donated to some fund that then went to paying a lobbyist/think tank to work for them in Washington to change laws and make sure the police officers and department actually saw justice.

we’re all online on a computer. Aren’t we the global 1%?

I feel this is cooked up by energy company’s in the same way that “snowballs in july” was but I’m not sure how.

Don’t ask dudes or women online. Seriously. Just go to the gym. Eventually you’ll figure it out.

You should look into groups like the heritage foundation and other groups. That’s all they do all day

This is for sure a distraction from the Epstein files

I have the same problem with being handsome. I’m just really really good lookin. Nobody believes it. When I met people and tell them I’m really good looking, they’re like no way. My doctor wouldn’t send me for tests but was shocked.

No it isn’t. Removing CP isn’t as debate.

Yes it is
- Comment on coping 1 week ago:
I don’t think spez invented moderation. But they did perfect the use of exploiting moderators to change the Internet into something that hurts communities and has made the Internet a much worse place. Moderators don’t get to say they’re just trying to protect communities. They’re not.

I like to work 8 hours to earn a living and then spend the next 6 hours I’m awake being subjected to ~sales men trying to sell me things~ watching dude perfect
- Comment on coping 1 week ago:
We have laws and there’s a big difference between removing CP and giving moderators the ability to remove content they think jives with a community based on their own teenage inexperienced Virgin judgment.

Yea but think of how many ads you could fit in that bad boy
- Comment on coping 1 week ago:
Yea I don’t care. I lived it. Something about that environment also creates great moments. Unlike today. Plus things have never been worse and all we have is constant moderation. For every “good moderator” the bad ones have caused echo chambers and rifts that have created extremism
- Comment on coping 1 week ago:
You act like everywhere was like that. We had no rules and it was never like that. You had to go out and specifically look for it like liveleaks
