"Go google it" is horrible advice in an era where search engines' top results are those who game the algorithm the most, and Google tailors different search results to every user.
So if a clueless person searches about topics like transphobia or racism, they might actually find transphobic or racist results, and in the end your "educate yourself, don't bother me" approach actually made it WORSE.
Exemple of a shit claim :
Is it China who's exceeding the emissions or the private (western) companies that produce their stuff in China before selling it in the "West"?
And we're not even talking about ressources use here.
Because the other problem here is that not everyone will be able to get an electric car so guess who will get them? The people in the West. And just that fact show how we create things that are inherently unequal from the start.
We know we won't have enough for everybody, we know it's not sustainable, we know it's not solving any problem we have in jammed cities, but still, we are doing it... Why? Because profits, and feel good sentiment.
free society vs. punching nazis (2/x)
if the town is full of open nazis, gay people will be afraid to hold hands. if gay people can hold hands, nazis will feel afraid to wear swastikas.
this is because the swastikas advocate for the murder of gay people. you can't have both, they're mutually exclusive. either the gays are afraid to gay, or the nazis afraid to nazi.
nazis should feel afraid to nazi, rejected by the larger community.
someone has to do the rejectioning.
it ain't gonna be the cops.
I think people saw the GNU Image Manipulation Program getting forked and thought it was overblown or something, so let's make this clear: stop saying fucking slurs. Including ones for disabled people. It's not fucking okay even if it's the fucking name of a piece of software, and that piece of software needs to change its name or the project needs to actively oppose that form.
For the love of fucking Christ, do you people not have respect for anyone but yourselves?
This whole thread is cursed oh my god

Schuld an der Umweltkrise trägt nicht die Menschheit, sondern eine Minderheit, als erstes Nordamerikaner und Europäer. Die reichsten 20 % sind die schlimmsten Sünder, 1/5 der Welt pflegt die verschwenderische Lebensweise, die sich im Bürgertum entwickelte.

Non è possibile appellare "eroi" chi porta in salvo donne e bambini al confine tra #Ucraina e #Polonia ma chiamare "taxi del mare"coloro che soccorrono naufraghi nel Mediterraneo.
