What is this spaghetti cucumber looking alien snack?!

I’m not sure I see the difference between bringing big oil down versus bringing animal based food down. Both are critical pillars of our current societies, changing that takes a lot of work (even if we were to convince everyone that that change needs to be done). My personal decisions don’t really matter as long as everyone else keeps going the way they are.

That being said I basically have a vegan diet and I very rarely use transportation that runs directly on oil. I just don’t think that gives my arguments for societal changes any more weight. These arguments are right in my opinion, independent of whether I already live the change or just argue that the proposed changes would be beneficial.q

Why would BP change if you don’t?

Because BP isn’t a human being it is a legal entity without inherent value other than those that we as a society allow it to have. If society decides BP should stop existing that’s just a logistical effort (replacing energy needs, finding jobs for the workers there etc etc) where as if society decides I should stop existing that’s a crime against humanity. Putting legal entities and humans on the same level here is a false premise in my eyes.

Also: Arguing for removing BP from the world IS showing a willingness to change personally because it means changing a lot of other stuff too that will affect everyones live.

And I think it’s important to change yourself as well, so you can demand it from others.

I’d argue that that only works on small scales. For big changes we need to agree beforehand that we want and will do the change and then do that change together. Demanding someone jump first won’t work here.

I don’t think that being part of the current society and doing what that society pushes people to do is a reason to dismiss criticism of that same society. I can acknowledge that I am flawed, that I am part of the problem, and still argue for change on a societal level. Especially because it is easier to act responsibly when everyone does

Yeah I remember reading about it. This is probably a step in the right direction without having looked at all the details

Stopping the wealth accumulation at the top through taxes on property above a threshold.

And, supplementary:

Stopping tax evasion by implementing a global tax cooperative so nations can stop competing in a downward race on tax rates

I’ll take “beautiful parking lot” as a compliment and there is nothing you can do about it

If it’s truly “not all men” then you don’t need to take everything online at face value if you aren’t one of the toxic men that this post is addressing.

Using the word men to criticise only the toxic ones and telling all the ones that aren’t toxic to just not feel addressed is pretty weird to me.

There’s a difference between wanting to feel pleasure at the result of killing someone and wanting to feel pleasure over the result of killing them?

I’m not sure what the difference between those two options is. But those aren’t the two options I was talking about. There are people that enjoy the process of killing things. There are people that like to eat dead animals but do not enjoy the process of killing the animal. Those are two different things in my mind.

There is a difference between wanting food you think is delicious and killing something for that reason and taking pleasure in the process of killing something. In one scenario the killing is a necessary evil in the other it’s the whole point of the process.

Aside from that the fact that so many people do pay “hitmen” should tell you that they do not enjoy the killing part, because otherwise they’d do it themselves.

Uhm, what 96% of the population actually kills stuff themselves?

I’m 100% that there would be some esoteric cult microdosing zombie blood to build resistance

Or alternativel: “If you start pooping your children inside eggs before they are born, we want you to abort them”

I mean that’s completely wrong as far as laws go. Socially that’s pretty much true

“And I wouldn’t want to work for a liar” is the obvious comeback to this.

My opinion as a german probably doesn’t really matter, but this guy as well as Kamala are giving me hope again that the world might not have gone completely mad. Also if this works out for you guys I hope the german party system is paying attention.

Hm yeah I think getting subtitles isn’t a thing for this kind of content

Go Back to his Minecraft stuff from like 2013. It’s great

Are the leaks perchance closely correlated to locations where oil and gas are being mined?

If we want change it can’t be on anyone else’s shoulders.
