This type of messaging is anti-helpful. Even though it's a joke, it makes things worse. It demotivates people from making the world better.
You are in a meme community. Spare me the lecture.
So that means anything is ok here? What about pro-nazi memes? We all agree that there's a line somewhere, you and I just put that line in a different place. For me the line is anything that ACTUALLY might make the world a worse place.
I get it. You are scared and upset and so you blame the people you think aren't taking it seriously enough but forget that lack of impact we have. We only have so much free will as is available in the system unless we go outside of it and doing so currently gets you shot if you make too much noise.
You want to be upset be so at the people who are in the positions to do something but doesn't. Rally those who don't know to join your voice in convincing others. But don't be mad at the people who are aware but haven't done something you haven't either.
I'm neither mad nor upset, I'm merely explaining my position and hoping to get other people to make similar decisions to help in whatever small ways they can
Go.
Away.
There is nothing an individual person can change that will have an impact. There are maybe 10 large corporations that could, but won't, fix this. They won't fix it because it's not a profitable thing to do. They'd rather be profitable right up until the day we all die, than fix the problem.
and what can a regular person do to fight this? not use plastic straws? turn off the light when they leave the room? wowie, that's going to change so much when the mega corporations are dumping millions of litres of waste into the oceans, oils, plastics, industrial wastes, when politicans all over the world only care about winning instead of helping, and wining involves a lot of money, money they can only get from the mega corporations, so they won't do shit to stunt their never ending chase of profits
even if all of us average joes decided to go full eco with minimal carbon footprint we will barely slow down the ecological downfall of our planet
"Am I so out of touch?
🤔...
No, it's the internetmans who are demotivating."
