Have to admit, Extinction Rebellion is a pretty good name for an activist group.
And a damn cool sounding band name
…or a punk band.
ITT: bots, trolls, and plain old fools angrier with this woman for demanding that we stop climate change than with the mega corps trying to cause long-term devastation for short-term gain.
Billion or even trillion, more like.
There’s like 1 guy. I mean, I know there are masses of angry chuds out there who hate her(and also not-so-secretly lust after her, which is beyond sick) but in this thread there’s just the one.
P.S. the other is a troll who is using sarcasm wrong.
Check /r/europe threads about her.
She’s an adult, isn’t she? Why would it be “beyond sick” to find her attractive?
…
Believe me, I do not find her attractive. But that’s besides the point isn’t it?
I sure hope the dutch police are gonna provide us all with food when the famine comes.

“a protest against Dutch subsidies and tax breaks to companies linked to fossil fuel industries”
We can do all the activities you mention with a much lower impact. And fighting climate change allows many farmers in developing countries to actually survive. (Think of the problems with cocoa harvests failing or with Mongolian herders losing herds three years in a row instead of once a decade.)
Ranching and fishing, yes. But considering that worldwide more than 70% of agriculture is used to support ranching, it definitely seems that ranching is reducing the amount of food worldwide, not increasing it.
Edit: Also should mention, generally when climate activists talk about drastically cutting down or outright ending ranching, that’s for the developed world, where healthy alternatives exist. Nobody sane is talking about going and taking the dairy cows off of Indian villagers who depend on it for survival.
Also, we have destroyed the global aquaculture with overfishing.
The person you are responding to is not arguing in good faith. I was going to say don’t feed the troll but maybe it’s better to refute the BS so unsuspecting people don’t read them thinking they are correct.
Absolutely. I think it’s better to refute than to ignore (within reason) for people reading through the thread. Not for the benefit of the troll.
Cows in general are so ludacrisly environmentally impactful it’s crazy
And beef frankly isn’t even that great IMO. Lamb tastes better to me, plus sheepsmilk cheese is DELICIOUS
ever since I tasted oat milk ill never go back to animal milk at all. I tried for years to like soy or almond but never really could get into it, now all that’s sorted
Lactose intolerance gives me little other choice (doesn’t always stop me when it comes to cheese tho) 😅 oat milk is delicious but doesn’t always work for cooking purposes, almonds are atrocious as far as sustainability goes.
And goat (and goat’s milk) is also amazing IMO
But I may be biased as my family had goats when I was a kid
Never really had the opportunity to try goat (outside of cheese). Not as common to find in my area, I think I’ve only seen it on a menu in a Mexican restaurant

Greta is an inspiration
She is one of the most influential activists in a generation. I greatly admire her dedication and commitment. She’s been arrested like half a dozen times now, and she shows no sign whatsoever of backing down.
the hero we need
Jokes on then Greta is invincible to being jailed
So she wins.
She had it coming. This mess is her fault after all.
Don’t believe me? Listen to the Science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkrcxLgHn-w
Clear evidence! It’s all her fault, she actually secretly takes planes everywhere. They don’t appear on public records because they’re stealth jets; she actually works for Biden in spreading the woke agenda!!!
10/10
The downvotes on this comment clearly are refusing to watch the evidence backed video you’ve linked.
I’m not one of the downvoters, but when someone says “Listen to the science” and links a Youtube video as source, 99 times out of 100 it’s not worth clicking.
you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink
You can also refuse to give traffic to crazy people’s linked videos before knowing what they are.
I think people are just nervous they’ll click and get some crazy climate denying stuff or something especially with all the hate she gets. The YouTube recommendations go nuts if you watch even a single video on something. Risky click. Excellent science based video you posted there though. A /s would’ve saved on the down votes if you care.
A /s would’ve saved on the down votes if you care.
I actually thought about it. But I think Onion articles and videos generally work best without a /s.
Sorry for the downvoted, this was actually pretty funny
For the people downvoting before clicking on the link: Youtube doesn’t count views if you don’t hit play.

And what exactly did she do to you? Hurt your feelings?
Careful you might trigger the snowflake‡ and they’ll whine and argue in the comments for days to come about how they should be able to stomp on the rights of people they disagree with while simultaneously sucking off the nearest billionaire.
‡ I’ve recently started finding it insanely fun calling conservative folk “snowflakes” as it pisses them off to such an incredible degree
that and talking about them being triggered …
Unfortunately, I’m not sure if conservatives have the mental capacity to understand you’re referring to them when you call them snowflakes.
Classic fucking conservative psychopath; “yeah lock a nonviolent offender up for life because she hurt my little feefees”
I love how mad this girl makes all the boomers and genx weirdos. It’s so entertaining to me. All she has to do is exist, and the collective blood pressure of all the world’s loosers rises.
What’s a looser? Do you mean loser? Loser?
Was this supposed to be some kind of comeback lol?
Are you suggesting that in democratic countries that citizens should not have the right to free assembly? Or that active criticism of government or corporate powers should be banned?
Not only would this be a dangerous precedent that belies fascist ways of thinking, it also would then take away any legal right you likely believe the Jan. 6 insurrectionists had to free assembly. Of course in that case they were actively breaking the law by entering restricted areas, brandishing weapons, committing acts of violence… Unlike these dangerous climate protestors who were blocking a public street (clutches pearls).
It’s absolutely bonkers. I met a 16 year old guy who is pretty sharp and politically active, he told me he wanted to run when he is of age to, he tried to play rope a dope with me about how the Jan 6 insurrection was a “protest” and how Trump had no culpability in fomenting the insurrection. I told him, in no uncertain terms, if you can’t admit to the greatest modern threat to democracy then you should never run for political office.
All they’re suggesting is that someone has told them that she is a threat to their world view for some reason and she needs to be imprisoned so they don’t have to face their fragility or the consequences of their choices on the regular. This hurts the conservative.

As much as I think the person you’re responding to is being a bit of a clown, don’t tell them to go kill themselves.
I appreciate your sentiment. We should all strive to treat each other with compassion and respect, but unserious people get unserious treatment.
Imagine the peace of mind we would have if all of the people who think and act that way were suddenly un-alive though.
Wouldn’t you also be considered that category since you also wish harm onto others?
No? That way of thinking of incredibly stupid, context is what decides if an action is justified or not. Violence is especially easy to justify, as far as unsavoury actions go.
Do you need a hug? You sound like you need a hug. Like maybe your parents didn’t hug you enough or something.
Massive chud energy right there
