@exxonmobil Greenwashing lies. Criminal company with execs that deserve to be behind bars for the human suffering and environmental catastrophes they have caused and will cause in the future
@nemoblogs@karaokecomputer You justify the genocide that gives rise to radical movements which romanticize any sense of justice, even in the form of terrorism. The unjustified genocidial colonial advance came before the terrorist. I am both a Jew and a westerner but only receive love from Muslim brothers.
I will use a simple analogy, to explain what I mean.
Imagine a car driving towards the edge of a cliff from many miles away, or someone walking to it on foot. Neither would be a crisis, or potential catastrophe, if they intended to stop, as you'd pre-suppose.

I want to explain what the climate crisis is, and what it isn't, in a definitive thread. This is because there seems to be a lot of confusion about what the climate crisis is.
Often deniers will cleverly demand you cite a scientific paper, that refers to the climate crisis.

When I look at this awful trainwreck of a world we're leaving to younger generations it infuriates me that older generations are constantly bitching at them. How can we have any attitude toward the young but total bare-hearted contrition? We should be on our knees begging them to forgive us for having failed them so spectacularly, but instead we've got the gall to wag our fingers at them and lecture them about pronouns and TikTok.
"Hurr, durr, they look at their smartphones too much and they don't know how to change a tire and they use they/them pronouns!" Shut up you fucking wanker. You burnt up their biosphere you piece of shit. You're tossing them from the womb into a dying world of war and chaos and injustice and exploitation and you have the temerity to tell them they're doing it wrong? Fuck you.
I hope they ignore us, personally. I hope they keep rewriting the rules of this dogshit society we're leaving them and knocking down every pillar of our culture. Everything we older generations have done has taken our world to the brink of environmental collapse and nuclear brinkmanship, so I hope they keep shrugging off the old rules of this profoundly sick civilization and trying new things and trying to blaze new trails in the hope of steering clear of the disaster we placed on their horizon.
We shouldn't be mocking and lecturing them, we should be humbly apologizing and trying to learn from them and help them. We are failures. They are humanity's last and only hope.
To the young: I am so, so sorry, from the very bottom of my heart. I hope you succeed in clawing your way out of the madness your predecessors left you in and create a healthy world, a healthy world which will look nothing like the one we made for you. I am on your side, whatever you need.
What’s incredibly unique about THIS holocaust is that both the hyper-documentation of genocide and destruction of evidence is happening DURING the mass extermination phase in full view of the world from 1000s of perspectives including the perpetrators, prisoners, and resistance.
Chanting 'four more years' in response to people protesting genocide just shows how utterly liberalism is unequipped to deal with anything outside its narrow rules and parameters. Liberalism is failing and coming apart in this moment.
The absolute brain rot of American liberals is astounding. Four more years chant to drown out a protest with its only demand being to stop genocide??? And four more years for who?? That senile piece of skin and bones? Give him an 8th grade math quiz and watch him malfunction
BREAKING: Activists in South Carolina just took over Biden's speech to call for a ceasefire.
"20,000 dead Palestinians; their blood is on your hands."
Biden was shaken. He's starting to understand the reality: his war on Gaza is horrifically unpopular, and people are fed up.
Again, seeing people more upset at the way people are protesting genocide than they are at the genocide itself is the exact reason people are done with liberalism and want a real left in this country.
I have no idea what the best thing to do right now is. I saw family today who are all pretty much ignoring the climate calamity unfolding. I often wonder if its all really happening or if Im in a dream - then I see the worlds leading scientists freaking out. It's like we are all in our own separate universes. At least when things get really bad people like me can shut up as we watch all the anger and recriminations from the public demanding to know why it wasnt all made clearer to them.
Mapping Police Violence finds more than 1,200 people have been killed by police so far in 2023, surpassing last year’s record for deadly police violence. Police killed more people in America this year than any other year in recent history. https://t.co/0VQVssR82S
Huge update. Huge, huge update.
15 days ago we confronted Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau. We called him a climate criminal in front of his peers. We chased him down multiple blocks, exposing his choice to approve Willow.
Today he resigned. Direct action works.🧵(1/7)
Actual SCIENTISTS having water cannons turned on them as they demand we face the reality of climate change that threatens us all. What a state we are in.
