Grandma must pay for her sins. We might not be able to save the world, but maybe we can avenge it.
I wish she would. But nooooo they are just gonna die while guzzling down her payments, for which I have to work 10 years longer for and will get less no matter what.
I AM SO SICK OF IT
Edit: I don’t want to avenge anything anymore. I am just so tired of this hopeless situation, where no one who could do something, does anything to prevent it.
I wish. People are getting called ecoterrorist already, if they glue themselves to the street and hold up traffic a little. I would have to blow up the government or sth to really make a point. Thats nothing I can do.

So is your grandma a member of congress or equivalent for her country, a billionaire or a mega corporation?
She voted for the pro billionaire politicians and was a very good customer of those mega corporations.
Or maybe I posted this on me_irl because I feel like the grandma.
I’m sure they never buy any Apple product, go to McDonalds or shop at Amazon. I’m sure they live in a cabin in the woods that they built by chopping their own sustainably sourced wood and spend their evenings by candle light.
Grandma insisted on using electricity of course the damnable hag.
'Round here it hasn’t really ever gotten cold until the day of Halloween for as long as I’ve lived here. It’s always so wild, too. 80-90’s up until the 31st then bam low 50’s to mid 60’s, windy and rainy. Like instead of using a dimmer to gradually change seasons, it’s a binary switch from summer to winter.
it’s supposed to be 90°F next week 😭😭😭
It’s really not the fault of any individual. Well okay yes it is, but it’s like 200 individuals at the very upper echelons of society.
Are we gonna ignore that literally everyone voted for Reagan in the 80s?
Except based Minnesota? Weird.
No more than we will never forget that Trump is the president that millenials voted for.
At least if we’re using ‘generational blame’ logic: good luck on explaining how you let trump in to the future generations.
“Trump lost the popular vote, kids. The Electoral College allows for small states to have oversized impacts on presidential elections.”
There you go.
Voting for Trump was highly correlated with age. Every age group under 40 had over 50% support for Clinton; every age group above had a plurality voting for Trump.
In the 1980 election, though, the only age range that voted more for Carter than Reagan was 18-24 year olds.
And unlike Trump, Reagan convincingly won the popular vote - he got 8 million more votes than Carter. Trump lost the popular vote.
Those two elections aren’t really comparable. Reagan won in a landslide; Trump barely sqeaked by because he barely won a few key swing states - in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, he won by less than 1% of the vote.
It’s the fault of many individuals, voting and acting together.
In the US, when you look at the end use of e.g. electricity, 29% of emissions are due to transportation, 30% are industrial, 11% is agriculture, and the other 30% is from commercial and residential.
Over 50% of transportation emissions are cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups. Why? Because the US suburbanized and we bulldozed cities to build wide roads and large parking lots.
That’s partially due to people like Robert Moses, and partially due to things like white flight, Euclidean zoning, single family zoning, etc. The greatest generation, the silent generation and boomers have repeatedly voted for and implemented local NIMBY policies that have resulted in car centric suburban sprawl that’s terrible for the planet.
