I think I know what happened here. Curtis decided to sing "fucking problem" by A$AP rocky at karaoke because he can say
I'm the n*gga, the n*gga n*gga ...
Like an edgy 15 year old. Then he heard A$AP rockies bar:
they say money make a n*gga act n*ggerish, at least a n*gga n*gga rich
Got mad at A$AP flexing on racist haters like him and then posted this.
N*gga rich is a term used by racists, and co-opted by rappers, to mean getting a small fortune and spending it on flashy ostentatious things.
Fair enough, the figure you're looking for / what I based on the Bangladesh claim is here, 39 billion tonnes total so even less, 0.28% reduction. But that is for only 10% reduction in one country. Increase that to 20% and do it for all countries and your probably getting a couple percent reduction. Again not going to stop climate change or give us another decade before 1.5c, which we've already passed in 2025.
Were going to need every percent we can get though and any sort of reduction helps. If we're going to have a carbon neutral future it's going to require these sacrifices, and the earlier we make them the better. Delaying them is only hurting the cause for some temporary comfort.
It would make a meaningful impact, if everyone in America just drove 10% less that would result in a reduction of 110 million metric tons of co2, close to the total emissions of Bangladesh 122 million tons ( population around half the US). The same is true about meat consumption, which is even more feasible to completely stop today for most people.
Sure those two things aren't going to stop climate change, systemic change is needed. But the methods for everyday people to create that systemic change are either illegal ( blocking ports, destroying oil infrastructure), and thus most people aren't going to risk there livelihoods for, or they're ineffectual (peaceful protest, electoral politics) so doing the above choices would make more of a difference.
Yes attention and effort are finite resources, but the choice for most people is not block a port or become vegetarian, it's gonna be go to a peaceful protest / vote for the dems or become a vegetarian. In that choice, becoming a vegetarian is the better use of effort.
It's not a con, people can and should still make choices and sacrifices to stop climate change while recognizing that the real problem is corporate greed.
You can recognize that litter is caused by corporations use of single use plastics for everything, while at the same time recognizing that it's your responsibility to at least dispose of them properly instead of throwing it on the street.
Considering the past couple elections she's probably as left as we're gonna get here in California, barring a charismatic young mamdani like figure coming out of nowhere.
Just gonna give myself a little bit of cancer stan
It's the most luke warm response to starving children from the most luke warm leader of a major country
I agree for normal, everyday people. But for the politicians and members of the media that enabled and in some cases cheered on this genocide , FUCK THEM. We can't allow them to launder there reputation with an "oops guess i was wrong" statement and let them keep running this country. If we don't hold them and there terrible decision making accountable then they'll just get us into another atrocity in a couple years, just like Iraq.
Like humanity?
WWII was the war to end all wars, so we couldn't have a department of war anymore. Still "needed" and army , navy, marines and all the weapons for them though so we created the department of defense.
