You guys know we buy shell products right?
You know shell along with a handful of other companies actively block any other option for us, and hold us captive to their exploitation, right? ๐
Objectively false/hyperbolic statement. Shell haven't stopped me buying a second hand electric car and a heat pump for my property.
If you're wealthy you can avoid shell
Oh fuck you're right, it didn't occur to me I could just be wealthy to avoid consuming shell products xD sorry for not being wealthy enough to be a good person m'lord
You're taking it the wrong way. I'm criticising the wealthy for not doing their part, not anyone that can't afford it.
The world is fucked up, you do what you can.
But nice, well done for turning this conversation into a class war instead of focusing on the issue at hand
You're twisting words and replying emotionally. I said it's objectively false/hyperbolic that "any" person can't avoid shell, which I did not contradict.
Read and think before you reply, also resulting to insults is childsplay, nice one
"You know shell along with a handful of other companies actively block any other option for us, and hold us captive to their exploitation, right? ๐" this is an objectively true statement, even after you shift the goalposts. Just because you avoid shell specifically doesn't mean the other oil companies you support are any better. And yes, you support the fuck out of them no matter what because it's current year and everything is made of plastic.
What the fuck even is your point if you're not shitting on poor people like you say? What the fuck was the point of "debunking" the "claim" that oil companies run everything and work to block more sustainable options? What fucking side are you on???? You're like those fuckers who claim to hate netanyahu and likud but only ever mention hamas' crimes, so clearly trying to look like an ascended centrist while supporting mass murder
I've lost interest in you and anything you have to say after that comment. Maybe try to have constructive conversation next time
It's my fault for not being open to constructive conversion, not your fault for being an insufferable fucker who acts better than others bc they have more money, I see. I could've had a constructive conversation, just not with a holier than thou piece of shit who thinks victims of capitalism are more responsible for climate change than the capitalists
Yeah I'm sure shell and co really forced the sale of 750k F-series trucks last year, right?
No they don't. They don't understand that industry emits carbon because we consume their products.
I wonder if it's a cope mechanism or ignorance.
