      Yeah we’re all talk, and the owners know that.

      Better not make us really angry, Owner class, or we’ll march to our local city halls that you already captured and own, and get a permit to protest you in a designated protest zone at a designated protest time so as to avoid inconveniencing you, in any way negatively effecting your daily exploitation activities, or potentially protesting somewhere in your line of sight.

      That’ll show them!

        From 1982:

        Now you can smash
        All the windows that you want
        All you really need are
        Some friends and a rock
        Throwing a brick never felt
        So damn good
        Smash more glass
        Scream with a laugh
        And wallow with the crowds 
        Watch them kicking people's ass
        
        But you get to the place
        Where the real slave drivers live
        It's walled off by the riot squad
        Aiming guns right at your head
        So, you turn right around
        And play right into their hands
        And set your own neighborhood
        Burning to the ground instead
                     - Dead Kennedys, *Riot*

        Idk I’m a pretty big fan of the climate activist group that just called Joe Manchin a sick fuck to his face while interrupting a meeting of his with big oil donors, and posted the recording online.

        But yeah, most of us are just doing what your comment describes

    This is just blame-shifting propaganda for the uneducated. We’ve known for years that “just 100 companies are source of over 70% of emissions”:

    “Groundbreaking ‘Carbon Majors’ research finds 100 active fossil fuel producers including ExxonMobil, Shell, BHP Billiton and Gazprom are linked to 71% of industrial greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.”

    This is a call to violence. My post, this post right here, is advocating violence against this man.

      Unfortunately that will quite literally never happen. We’re all talk. We love to trot out the guillotine talk and then go back to doing whatever we’re doing that isn’t violence… :(

    It IS the public’s fault, as a whole. We could have voted for better climate policy already.

    It just happens to be this guy’s fault more than most of the public individually.

      I don’t know about you but I get zero representation from any of my government reps, and writing them has never mattered so what the FUCK are we supposed to do?

      It isn’t the public’s fault, the owner class’s opinion is the only one out government follows.

      It would be an absolutely terrible tragedy if an angry crowd of people dragged him out into the street and beat him with tire irons, and no one managed to film it.

      Those poor hornets. He would be dead along with the hornets the moment he made impact, and they’d never have the satisfaction of murdering him.

      The gullible do not deserve to be exploited or even punished just for being gullible. I’ve always hated this completely irrational, sociopathic way of thinking.

    You know if this cunt and his ilk hadn’t spent the last century poo-pooing all the alternatives and lobbying themselves into being used more, he might have a point.

    But did, and so he doesn’t.

    Aha, so the real way to solve climate change is to buy more of your oil, but also build prohibitively expensive infrastructure to capture the pollution and shove it back underground.

    Thanks $20mil a year earning, fracking championing, 17% increase in company carbon output making, caught on tape obstructing Congress climate legislation oil company CEO. Maybe you’ll get to be Trump’s secretary of state this time around like your predecessor was.

      It’s times like this I really wish COVID had a 60% death rate, did you SEE how clear the sky was during lockdown?

      We had deer in Manhattan, and blue skies in China.

      Humanity really is a plague.

    Then put that dumb slob scumbag in prison because he’s committing crimes against humanity. We KNOW that EXXON is to blame and their history is disgusting. It’s BEEN KNOWN since the 1990’s. Quit playing America.

    And environmentalists need to start voting and quit being dickheads for big business.

      Why do you hate pigs so much? They are intelligent and can be quite empathic.

      There are better ways to dispose of the owner trash.

      Throw them into a wood chipper and seal the resulting goo and slurry in nuclear safe canisters and toss them into the Marianas trench.
