Team apathy! 🙌

Same mood when people complain about corpo media

I feel for them, but they should know they are making a choice by staying

Yeah, it’s a mistake to write it off as recklessness. Some very few people will materially benefit from this chaos.

If it would REALLY mean a thing?

Yeah we’re on the same page. I might be a little more tolerant of imperfect or half-assed attempts at a solution is all.

Even just reducing our global meat consumption would make me so happy. Let it’s insane to me that there is what amounts to my eyes as a wall of tortured flesh in every grocery store, and my tofus and veggie dogs take up like half of two shelves next to the fresh vegetables.

I can’t wrap my head around eating meat every day, but there are people who eat meat at every meal.

Indeed, I think something’s got to give if we’re to have any future worth living. Probably very many things should change. I’m a bit of an misanthrope myself, so getting used to more communal arrangements is painful.

Would you be more likely to champion a less attractive option if it was part of a larger initiative to make a better world?

You’ve got to invest in it before it gets good. You’ve got decades of car centric infrastructure inertia making cars the more convenient choice. All you’ve got to do is invest just enough to make alternatives actually possible.

I don’t know the challenges of your specific infrastructure, but there are certainly improvements that could be made

With adequate public transportation, it becomes much more comfortable and convenient.

My city installed a few additional bike paths, and added some more buses, and the difference is huge.

I don’t even need a car except when traveling longer distances.

Agree with this take. It’s like yeah electric cars are technically better, but any advantage they have over combustion engines is blown away by things like public transportation, or designing walkable/cyclable cities.

Our solutions can’t just rely on swapping out for “greener” tech. We need radical changes to how we are currently living in order to ensure a livable future.

There is no future that is not radical. This gradualist, neolib (let’s make sure all the investors get a chance to divest from dirty tech before switching!) fantasy will fuck us. It’s been fucking us for a hundred years. It’s time to try literally anything else.

But, Superman is such a good, kind-hearted hero that it’s basically impossible to be a good person and be anti-Superman.

Right, the main complaint is that he’s so perfect it’s boring.

And also that he has a pretty Western/USA centric sense of morality, which you think Western chauvinists like conservatives would eat right up.
