Your logic: “We’ve identified the problem is capitalism. Stop pointing at it and start pointing at something else, that’ll solve it!”

Nope, but nice try trying to strawman me.

I’m talking about taking actual individual action to stop the problem instead of merely pointing fingers.

such as unionisation of workers, creation of socialist and dual power structures, and the eventual revolution.

Okay, so we’ve unionised the workers, how does that stop oil companies polution?

We have socialist dual power structures, how does that stop fossil fuel emissions?

We have “”“the revolution”“” does that magically make fossil fuels go away?

My point is you can blame capitalism all you like, but at the very least in the short/medium term if we want to actually do something about climate change we need to change how we behave. As even under a socialist or communist system people will still use electricity, that will still be generated by fossil fuels.and people will still ship things in from other countries. And good luck pushing socialism in any major western country right now.

My point is, why do you think those oil and gas companies or big tech exist? Because there is a market for it because of consumer behaviour.

A profitable oil company is never going to just close itself down for the sake of morals. And even if they did, a different oil company is just going to take over their market share.

The only way we stop oil companies is by making them unprofitable, either through voting for legislators that will tax them or sanction them, or by taking away their demand.

And while your individual demand is tiny, the same as you single individual vote in an election. It won’t have an affect by itself, but if lots of people band together we can make change.

And the first step of that is acknowledging it.

Okay, we’ve identified the problem is capitalism. Now what? Are you not at fault when you buy cheap crap from China you don’t need or take your car somewhere you could have walked, because the problem is capitalism?

When crops are failing due to drought and kids are starving to death is pointing the finger at capitalism going to save them?

Honestly I’m starting to hate this narrative

For one, by far the most polluting companies are state owned coal companies in China and India. Then other state owned fossil fuel companies and then private fossil fuel companies.

So all those companies are just power generation. So it’s not like they can just stop, people need the electricity.

And it’s not like nothing is being done either. Like by far the biggest polluter is China’s coal industry, making up 25% of global emissions, but China is also THE global leader on clean energy investment. They are currently building more nuclear power plants than the entire rest of the world has, they are making the biggest most powerfull wind turbines in the world, etc.

And if people would stop consuming cheap, disposable shite from China, then they wouldn’t use so much electricity, so would burn less coal and also you wouldn’t make a bunch of shit that’s just going to end up in a landfill.

Unless something really good comes up yeah. Also most of the time I just put my generic CV up and get calls from recruiters. So the actual people hiring don’t even see my CV

Idk man, don’t you think your module factory on fulgora could use an upgrade? and your gleba base isn’t very efficient.

Plus you’ve barely even touched quality. Have you tried out a legendary big mining drill yet?

???

Thank you, I’ve been having a lot of depression and feeling pretty worthless, but comments like these remind me that no matter how bad things get at least I’ll never be this much of a loser.

Because its the biggest one and not infested with terminally online tankies or edgelords.

Why are all users on .ml such delusional losers?

Except all the most popular curries in the UK aren’t Indian, they’re British, and infact pretty much any curry outside of southern Asia was introduced by the British (or occasionally Portuguese) like Japanese curry for example.

Yep because no British person ever eats curry as a comfort food…

Ah I see where you’re going wrong. Those aren’t fish sticks, those are fish fingers.

Entirely besides the point, but the shirt hair makes her head look very square. So I think she was better off with the long hair.

Nice, they should totally make a regular fantasy version of 40k, would be sick.

Especially when someone gets “chuffed to bits”
