    Slowly…

    In human time, yes. In world time, no.

    The problem IMHO is that the ”information“ feels like propaganda. “You need to stop doing this, because the planet needs you to“ I mean come on, 80% of all the greenhouse gas emissions come from 10 companies.

    Don’t FridayForFuture us, FridayForFuture them.

    Oh, and one thing to add to trigger a whole lot of people: Most of the people are dependent on those companies, because they earn too little to get an alternative. And saying they are the reason is like telling a POW that their crafting of shells kills Americans.

      Car dealerships in the US are whining that they can’t move the expensive EV’s car makers are producing. Meanwhile the world is burning. We need a crash program to replace every damned gas powered vehicle needed, while eliminating hundreds of thousands completely off the road where possible. Cities should have sidewalks, bikepaths, and mass rail transit everywhere in the US.

      If we don’t do it, we’re pissing in the wind.

      edit: same with renewable generation - no more nimby bullshit. build it all. no one’s view is worth another summer like this.

      It’s not really propaganda, it’s just deflection. Call out corporations for contributing the most to the climate catastrophe, and they/the media/losers on social media immediately go “oh well what have you done personally to stop it” or “well you use their product means you’re part of the problem” or “you’re not recycling”, deflecting the blame from corporations to individuals.

      As long as these people are in power, nothing is going to change, only half assed unhelpful compromises.

        So… a lot of important people have to vanish… kind of like an undertale run where you kill all the bosses.

        I also like to say “big oil paid you to say that!“ and just be ignorant. I know it didn’t happen, but their reaction is funny.

        The final generation? Well they are strawmen who destroy the cars of normal people to bring hate towards those who are in for the movement.
