Topic	On a positive note i bet Covid-19 has helped with Global warming
Funkydog 04/07/20 1:26:35 PM #39:	AirFresh posted... I'm super left. Bernie all the way, Greta is a god damn cancer for the global warming movement and has antagonized it to the point where older folks wanna continue out of spite. How Dare You is not insightful, it's a little child throwing a tantrum. Because with people like Trump in power it was doing fucking wonders, right? Give me a break and actually see what the reality of change was. America was rapidly dialing back on efforts, while other countries were making token efforts and false promises. I'm not sure much will realistically change, as money wins out for the older people in power who don't have to care about the consequences the rest of us suffer, but it has helped shine a brighter light on it and force the laziness into the spotlight. Helping young people see that they CAN stand up and don't need to give into the apathy the older generations want us to. They want us to feel helpless and not push for change, to not demand our politicians take action, or not vote for those supporting our cause (the level of voting in younger people is still sadly piss poor, and not sure what will change that other than more active engagement from an early age. But that's not in the interests of those in power, so eh!) And bitching that a child wasn't coming forth with scientific evidence. Seriously? You are seriously upset, and your issue with her, is that she was telling people that they were fucking morons for ignoring scientists and that they should be, rather than being consumed by greed and adoration for corporations? We've had scientists spreading this for DECADES and it's done bugger all. Activism cannot be done "quietly and without disturbing others" as by its very nature it intends to disrupt those in power and shake things up. If you're upset by her saying "how dare you" then do you actually care about climate change, do you actually want to hold those responsible for perpetuating it and driving us off the cliff while saying to not look outside at the impending ground we're about to hit? People get so damn worked up about an insignificant thing she said, acting as if she ruined the movement. No, she did not. They were already ignoring it and were going to do so anyway. Don't let their propaganda twist you as well, or you're just helping them. --- https://imgur.com/BGbZK <cite>Funkydog posted [p:936950804] in On a posit...
