YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.
  • "f you knew about her still being in the news, your statement about how you never hear about her anymore makes little sense."
    I ment alternative news, not mainstream, that should be obvious. Where you also get real news about Palestine BTW.

    "Almost all mainstream news in the US is right wing"
    I don't live in the banana republic, even there the right wing Dem party and lib media fully supported her.

    " it seemed like you were saying that the reason you don’t hear from her now was because she wised up and stopped doing it, not that she realized capitalism was the problem and that caused the media to stop reporting on her."
    This is literally my statement: " It has nothing to do with being a teenager but with her anti-capitalist stance "

    And it does contradict your "it's bcs she's a teenager now".
    That is a totally different reason, which is not the cause of the media blackout.
    And again you repeat that claim, so I definitely must insist you are wrong, again.
    If not, we're not on the same page.

  • My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.
  • Who knows if it's true. Kids can lie/exaggerate when they want stuff.
    If it is true then wtf kind of school is this? I would go have a talk.
    What if some other parent couldn't afford them? Will he let his kid join the mob mentality and bully him?
    This goes further than shoes.
    Just buying the stuff to get done with it and letting this toxic environment fester is def not the right move.
    But fuck it, I'm not raising his kid.

  • I know about all what you said.
    And you're completely wrong. It has nothing to do with being a teenager but with her anti-capitalist stance which she now understands is the core of the problem.
    They never tried to make her look bad (except right wing news) on the contrary they hyped her up big time.
    Now she's noticably shunned by the media. There have been articles about that too.

  • My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.
  • Yes, not giving in to toxic bullying for having less money makes you an asshole, right.
    What if another parent doesn't even have the choice to give in bcs they can't afford it? too bad for the kid right?
    You're the POS here.

  • Oh please.
    Every food needs to be transported.
    Well not if it's produced and consumed locally but you forget you're in capitalism where it's cheaper to get your quinoa from 4000km away, etc.
    Also I don't want to be fed on plant based protein.
    The world population can be fed anyway but capitalism says we need to destroy a lot of food to keep the prices down.
    And some regions don't have food bcs it can't get there or their crops are destroyed by war, again caused by capitalism.
    There's a reason you don't hear about little Greta anymore, she got wise.
    Everyone can parrot the BP carbon footprint garbage all they want, IDC. I have zero guilt

  • Corporations are not 'worse'.
    They are the bulk of the problem.
    They will do absolutely nothing about that since they can't be touched for the holy profits of consumerism and the fanatic fixation on continuous growth of capitalism.
    I refuse out of principle and I feel zero guilt. Those fingerpointers can fuck off.
    They tax us suckers anyway for all the bad bad things we do to live.
    And that money they can give to corporations or buy more carbon credits to polute more.
    You can feel better and it may be good for your conscience but it's like you're un a bus driving down a cliff and your contribution is putting your foot on the road to slow it down.

  • " higher taxes on red meat"
    And there we go.
    They'll probably do that and those taxes will not be used to do anything climate related.
    Or maybe buy some more carbon credits to legally pollute more.
    I'm tired of this blameshifting and not touching the core problem, capitalism and endless growth of consumerism.
    They can all go to hell.
