We need to punch up and stop infighting.
Seriously. It's infuriating. It's exactly because people are so divided by wedge issues that we don't have progress on this. Governments will keep ignoring climate change (and the global extinction event associated with it) as long as voters don't make it a high priority.
It's quite "comedy " because in some places governments are obsessed with green policy which led to closing many nuclear powerplants but now only alternative is fosil fuel because renewables are so inefficient. And also make people to pay renewable fees for ever wat of energy they use. It's not driven by reason but by feelngs on both sites.
These kids do not actually care. they do not give a shit about what the establishment is doing.
Shell is currently releasing pure death into the air and water (biggest oil spill 2010 - Barack Obama was a voted in president at this time ) and nestle charges for water use (flint water disaster 2014 - - Barack Obama was a voted in president at this time) baby formula was 1974 - (Richard Nixon ) and dupont released c8 into water supply in 1984. - (Ronald Reagan).
these genZ dumb fucks just sit down and whine how their grandma somehow retroactively voted for it with intention back in 1960. Meanwhile this could have been reversed any time in the past 60 years (even the last 15) since but they are intentionally pretending like that was never an option so they can continue their dumb ass dog pile on ancient shit.
No one was expecting grandma to know this in 1960. Grandma had plenty of chances to vote for fixing it any time in the past 60 years but she didn't give a fuck because she'd be dead anyway. Gen Z didn't have the votes to fix it, but they have to live with it. They have every right to be upset.
Look at you talk like whatever grandma voted always won. It’s been a bipartisan joke since the beginning and neither side succeeded when they had the chance. Proof that it didnt EVER matter what your grandma voted. You could have had vote pink or purple. Doesn’t matter. Both won at different times, and this shit still happened. It’s a misnomer to even pretend she had the power of vote to change that.
Go back to school and finish your maths.
Chill and stop taking out your stresses on others.
You first: stop taking your shit out on the elderly.
I never said anything about the elderly, maybe stop listening to the voices in your head?
I'm obviously talking about the grandmas who voted in the wrong direction. And they were very much part of the problem. Saying otherwise is taking away their agency. And yes, that includes primaries. It wasn't a binary lose/lose choice, the people did and do have influence on who ends up on the final ballot.
Old people need to stop first.
boomers didn’t make this post.
