What brings me joy? Internal combustion engines.

Then you must recognize how that joy is also destroying everything around you. If, then, it still brings you joy, then you are evil.
Henry Collins

@B Whittaker I’d rather be evil and happy than good and sad. Sometimes you have to be selfish. And I’ve decided that this, this is a time to be selfish.

@B Whittaker if you’re so concerned, then go out and live in the woods with no power or running water.

@horticasey
You can have power and running water without destroying the environment.
Try to be more rational.

@Henry Collins you should never be selfish the world doesn’t turn around you, you should think big and think about the society you live in

I dont wanna be so grim about it but what brings me joy is the thought of not existing

@Lighty lol, I hoped you would see the humor in my dark connotations. Keep your head up, a new dawn is just off in the horizon. You will play a vital role in the rebuilding of a new civilization.

This feels like a distraction from revolutionary action

Considering the context of this being on TED, I’d say yeah, but she gives some pretty solid advice you could use in more revolutionary spaces.

Think globally, act locally and use the skills you already have.
Seems like common sense to me.
lina
October 6, 2022 at 12:18 am
@Don Doodat Can you please expound on that a bit? What does thinking globally and acting locally with the skills you have look like for you? And how impactful has that been/how impactful do you expect it to be?

@lina
Isn’t it obvious?
You don’t need to go to the other side of the world to save it.
Don’t buy products that destroy rainforests or habitat.
Adapt skills you already have for beneficial use.
I’m not going to write you an essay if you already can’t understand what I’ve posted.
What would be the point?
lina

@Don Doodat Yeah, see, that’s exactly the kind of stupid “activism” that I’m saying is a distraction from real solutions.

Perhaps we ought to prioritise politicians who care what the public actually want – which is stopping public money disappearing into private hands through corporations?
And second on the list or priorities, clean drinking water for everyone in the world, and all the vaccines that were developed with PUBLIC money.
Then we can start worrying about the climate without the incessant noise from dishonest individuals and organisations

When you are done with your fools dream we have real work to be done. Go LARP socialist revolution in the CCP or DPRK.

@Shiro Amada
You feel the need to be so extreme as a distraction from taking any real action to make the world a better place.
It’s probably just laziness.

Stop putting it on the individual and not the systematic destruction

There are more of us than there are of them.
Blaming everyone else is a cop-out.

I wonder how much George Soros, Al Gore, and Klaus Swabb are paying her to spew such nonsense. Oh hey, gas is twenty dollars a gallon, let us find joy in that. You’re getting poor, I’m getting rich. Its all your fault, I am benefiting from it. This is a cyclical event from the Sun, shhhhh dont let them know we are corrupt and full of…

The government won’t ever change is the bottom line engraved into cement. They have to change, most people voted on progress for climate change. It’s the government alone setting us back. Because it’s alot cheaper for us to afford whatever products and items they’ll shell out for us to buy. Thus, the cycle is Neverending.
