Wow, gross.
And also so wilfully fucking ignorant.
Best block of the year so far.

I grew up in it, immersed in it.

exactly, we all have, and still are. To the point where internalised and lateral bigotry are also a thing (again in service of the Imperialist White Supremacist Capitalist Heteronormative Ableist Theistic Patriarchy). There is so much to unlearn and it's ongoing work, the end point being to abolish those systems, but to also stay vigilant that they never return (by nurturing community, solidarity, and justice), so it never actually stops. Unfortunately many people are comfortable enough with the status quo that they aren't willing to take that kind of commitment on (especially one that involves a significant amount of self reflection and discomfort of realisation). Another feature, not a bug..

I feel personally attacked by your first paragraph 😂 my parents having got married and had kids because they’re “supposed to” then promptly split up and were more concerned with being known as parents than actually being them, and also being an asexual constantly exposed to ignorant shit (and worse). I guess it's nice to be seen? lol
I also agree with the rest of it, I shared this the other day, I think it relates..

How about destroying the people actually responsible? You know, like those who gave them those flags and bibles, and created the systems that indoctrinate them in to blindly worshiping both?

And also not being ableist while we're at it.. (E: better link)

like, you know, using your legs instead of a car.

Like, you know, some people fucking can't. I'm literally housebound, have never owned a car, and haven't been on a flight in about 2 decades, I guarantee you consume significantly more oil than I ever could. You really did pick the wrong fucker to make your ableist and exclusionary assumptions about (E: though I LOVE the projection - you assumed I'm against shifting responsibility to individuals because I don't want to change my habits, when in reality it's you who are unwilling to change yours, your habit being punching down instead of up because those at the top told you to).

And you know what, if you disappeared tomorrow and didn't even use any of that oil - that still wouldn't solve a fucking thing (in terms of oil production that is, otherwise if that happened it'd definitely be a more pleasant world lmfao).

Because individual use isn't the fucking problem and would be resolved if the oil companies weren't keeping society hostage for profit. Individual solutions CANNOT solve systemic problems

But sure, whatever helps you continue to blame the little person you can feel superior to, rather than face any real threat to your ego - pointing the finger at those actually at fault (which you feel inferior to because deep down you actually look up to the scumbag owning class), and trying to act against the cause of the problem, not its symptoms.

So I'll make the same suggestion again - first remove head from ass, then form opinion - yours is wrong, and will continue to be no matter how many times you repeat the same propaganda to yourself and others, you pushing it exclusively serves those you claim you want to stop (and your own little ego, of course), the fact is - you are choosing to be an active shill for those exploiting humanity and the planet, but hey, isn't it so much easier blaming other powerless people and convincing yourself you're this brave souled warrior than it is to face reality.. Smmfh.. Self cantered, wilfully ignorant, ableist clown.

TL;DR: the oil companies have spent billions if not trillions on developing a button especially for people like you to press to make you feel like you've acted and give you the warm fuzzies, when in reality all pressing the button does is make them more money, a fact you can easily confirm for yourself, but you don't because that empty dopamine hit and pretence of acting that the oil companies have provided you with just feel too good.

Having and fulfilling adult responsibilities does not make one an adult. Those kids are still kids, and the weight of those responsibilities on a psyche too young to deal with them, not to mention their own and as well as generational trauma, absolutely will catch up with them.

Jfc, it's distressing to see how many people buy in to the personal responsibility propaganda and are actively not only licking the boot that's on all our necks, but doing the corporations' dirty work for them, gleefully, ignoring the entire picture (the deliberate spending of many trillions, and holding governments in their pockets to keep us dependant on oil and having no viable alternative) except the tiny little fragment they're comfortable confronting - other individuals. It's both gross and concerning.

Great, instead of Shell, just buy BP, or Exxon.. Oh wait.. they're up to exactly the same shit, and are all together deliberately holding us captive and keeping any realistic alternative from being accessible to the masses because they know it will replace them..

First remove head from ass, then form opinion..

You know shell along with a handful of other companies actively block any other option for us, and hold us captive to their exploitation, right? 🙄

We move right through this type of political posturing.

No. We move right by continuing to participate in the charade. Which is a feature, not a bug.

This is it right here. Housing is a right, not a commodity. Landlords shouldn't exist.
