What did it raise awareness for? Nothing’s happened.

Human history and culture are leverage. The fact that people care about them is why they’re valuable.

Take a sledgehammer to an oil exec’s front door

Yeah, go for it. I support you.

it must be action that causes something useful to the cause,

Public attention can spur recruitment waves for the targets you really care about. If any campaign is to be effective, you need people to know who you are.

I’m taking it seriously. Are you not taking it seriously?

are taking publicity away

And this is being published where?
Here’s my challenge to you: every time you see Just Stop Oil pop up, post these articles. Get people excited about actually doing something.

They give the opportunity for climate change deniers to lump all climate change activists together with these idiots

Deniers are too far gone. You spray paint stone henge, they complain about the lichen. You splash color on a ferrari dealership, they complain about the small business owners. You bomb an oil rig, they say that violence never solves anything. They’re already not on our side.

Oh yeah, absolutely. The fact that we own nothing these days is crazy.

I’m sorry, did you not want to play Ocarina of Time in the year of our lord 2046?

Just find better ways to achieve your goals.

Nah.

I would if it had any lasting power. I mean, can’t they just push out another eula update 6 months from now when this change is no longer useful to them?

Fuck arbitration, of course, I’m just not expecting this to really mean anything.

Climate activists have chained themselves to trees, to construction equipment, to the property of the companies they protest. THAT is serious action.

You know we need more people doing stuff like this, right?

Not “climate activists.”
You.

Have you been inspired to chain yourself to oil infrastructure? To accomplish something real?

And did you make the news?

Oil companies are manipulating these people into being against climate change?

You’re welcome to work on that plan.

Not enough people are AWARE that it’s a THING.

I mean, considering how little has happened?
Don’t we need radicals at this point?

Isn’t it said that violence is the language of the unheard?

instead of education, politics, green energy investment, decentralization of financial power, etc etc etc.

When did An Inconvenient Truth come out again? Like, can I get a temperature check on the polite and respectful progress we’ve made since then?

No bad publicity.

People should be allowed to smoke and gamble, too.
I still don’t think it’s good that they do that, though.

One of the aims of Stop Killing Games, as far as I’m aware, is the preservation of history, which seems like a very odd thing to be indignant about.

I would be extremely uncomfortable having a conversation about why people stay with their abusers with a kid.

I… you don’t think they could learn from that?
I mean, if it’s really just that it’s too much work to explain, why would it make you uncomfortable?

to have to explain things like “the gray areas around coercion and nonconsensual sex” to someone else’s kid in a panel setting.

Why would the panel people be the one’s doing this?

Do the tickets to these events say that they’re adult only?

Like, a concert ticket in the alcohol section (which is only because they can’t be served) will specifically prohibit under-21s. I guess I’m just curious why an event would “exclude children” without going so far as to actually exclude them.

This comment reminds me of when Bitcoin became the world’s dominant currency.

Do you mean the voice of Mario…?

I do not want an AI voice to puppet his corpse for the next 150 years.

The hope, I imagine, is that conservative subs are safe spaces where dissent can be controlled, and with enough purchased engagement, these posts can reach the front page where all the normal people gather.
