Read the fourth, most recent IPCC report - it’s essentially a metastudy synthesising a lot of hard science.

The picture is grim.

Sorry you don’t like their tone but they’re right.

Wall cracks.

Yes but also wise up - we’re not the same as Exxon Mobil or Rio Tinto. We individually need to make our changes, absolutely - but they won’t unless we force them to do so and they dwarf us in output to an inhuman degree.

Simply - we need to stop their machines in a very literal sense. They’ve already shown that dialogue and scientific reasoning is an utterly useless vehicle for change in the face of their organisations - so we need to start speaking in languages they understand. Remove their ability to function. Direct action is the answer to the question.

I’m more in the blockade a port/unmake a pipeline/put sand in the oil tanks kind of a mindset but go off

Dude. The world is being killed and the people killing it have names and addresses. This is not a untouchable force of nature causing our homes to flood and burn while the ecosystems that allow us to farm collapse.

You have agency. Get angry, channel it and get active.

Their centrist pearl clutching hasn’t done anything so far so why make yourself smaller to appease someone who won’t help anyway? Sorry - get real about the stakes or get aside.

Diversity of tactics. There’s no point in pissing on other people’s praxis when you have the capacity and space to organise your own.

Want harder action? Find a pipeline. Blockade a port.

Want to educate people about actions and how to get involved? Organise a street march and equip people with rhetoric to help turn the tide against fossil fuel astroturfing.

Just do something.

They are - which means they’re ahead.

Stop with the black pill nonsense. There’s plenty we can do. Get active, get amongst it, break unjust laws.

Lay down and rot somewhere else.

The most persecuted minority is Capitalist fr 😔

I’ve wanted to start with RSS for a while now - how did you get started, practically speaking? Any resources that helped you set yourself up comfortably/learn the ins-and-outs?

Meanwhile, as schools and hospitals are left chronically underfunded…

No, you’re alright, I think you’re entirely justified to rant about that. We continue being a very short sighted species.

Huh - the more you know, thanks

Yeah, fair cop

Oh contraire - we’re 20 years late

I mean, I took that as the text, you know? Like, the only people who care about being seen as neurotypical are the people who think neurodivergents are lesser - everyone else just vibes.

I see where your read of it is coming from, for sure - idunno, I guess I just get the impression most people here seem pretty wise to diversity and all that jazz.

Meta owns it now, I guess - I always figured that the critical bulk of their user base came from before the acquisition.

I initially learnt about Signal when Meta (then Facebook) bought them out and a bunch of Australian reporters immediately switched their anonymous tipoff lines from Whatsapp to Signal.
