Not to be that person, but my parents are completely incapable of comprehending this.
Not intellectually, but pragmatically and philosophically. They're like 60 years old, and even if it affects them in their lifetime, they'll be "dead in 20 years".
And on a low level, they're kind of right because most ordinary people aren't to blame for this, so shaming "parents" makes no sense.
Shame the international petroleum conglomerates, plastic producers, shipping, etc. You know, the actual emitters in the billions of gigatons.
My usual PSA:
Stop making things a generational conflict when it's a class conflict in reality.
Exactly right.
It seems that the top 5% globally are above the limit. If you live in Western Europe or the US, that's significantly more than half of the population.
If you're a European/American/Oceanian with a bank account in the black, you're probably in the global 1% who use six times your share.
Look, I'm not an ecofascist, but if I was, I'd be saying kill all white people. Instead, because I'm generally a nonviolent person, I'm saying slash the tires on white people's cars. And anyone else who lives in a majority white country. These are places where most of the population are the global 1%.
Jesus titty-fucking christ, what a racist take.
I think you're forgetting how much 100 billion is. The top 1% globally starts at about 1 mil USD in savings, which if a recall, even the whitest Americans are far enough from. And here a handful of multibillionaires escape to let your reductive worldview ultimately contribute nothing to any semblance of progress and further their torching of our lives.
Not only are you wrong, but you sound like a psycho with a very limited understanding of the world, no different than the uberwealthy perpetuating this.
No that is still not class war, you are talking about race war now
