Pretty sure it’s the effects of the data centers that are fuelling that. But nice try, AI bros.

Get me enough people willing to go along with me to make it more than a fancy way to commit suicide and I’ll volunteer enthusiastically.

Yeah. Clearly you have no principles at all if you think having principles is comparable to Hitler.

What a sad and pathetic excuse for a meat sack walking around like a human being. You stand for nothing, so you’ll fall for anything. Apparently up to and including showing your support for a genocide.

Tell that to the guy who got himself booted

I think Macklemore is doing alright. I’d imagine this will be a net plus for his ticket sales, but that’s not why he did it, as far as I can tell.

the band that basically burned all bridges with Ed Sheeran.

That’s also probably a net plus for them, since they can now do their own music and be “the band that stick to their principles and quit Ed Sheeran”.

Meanwhile Sheeran has to find a new opening act, new backing band, etc or risk big forfeit clauses in his performance contracts.

I’m guessing you just don’t have any actual principles you’d put ahead of money or chasing celebrity?

Funny. Because it seems like the people “shouting politics” are doing fine and it’s the cowards who won’t speak up against genocide who are feeling the consequences of their cowardice.

Someday, I hope non-celebrities who are indifferent to or supportive of genocode see some consequences too.

So Ed Sheeran is a coward Nazi appeaser. What a surprise…

Anything but holding the ecocidal narcissists responsible for the mayhem their pollution powered people pressers do, right?

Someone doesn’t understand how cops work…

In what way is my suggestion that people should be environmentally conscious with their choices supporting oil companies?

In the way that it reinforces the oil companies’ favorite narrative where individual consumers are responsible for the damage the company does to generate profit for its parasitic shareholders.

So we should just sit back and wait for the oil companies to benevolently act on our behalf?

No, we should be doing things we don’t organize in public posts on social media to make the executives and shareholders of those companies absolutely terrified of what will happen if they don’t do as we demand.

Forgive me if I don’t feel like circling the drain without a fight.

Funny, that’s exactly what your first comment shows is the only thing you’re willing to do.

Except for the part where capitalism is actively sabotaging the transition to renewables, because fossil fuels areore profitable, so it really does matter.

No, you value freedom from religion.

We absolutely need a lot more of that, but the only freedom of religion that should be guaranteed is that no one will be persecuted for a belief. As soon as that belief turns into an action or inaction that is harmful to others that freedom should evaporate fast.

And absolutely nothing of value would be lost.

Freedom of religion was a mistake. Idgaf what your imaginary friend says, if you know a kid is being abused and you keep it to yourself Hell should seem like a vacation you get to run off to when the prison system is done with you.

The real “low hanging fruit to not do” is blaming individual choices for societal issues. Capitalism is the one and only reason for anthropogenic climate change. Ending capitalism is the one and only way to solve it. There is no individual action you can take that is effective, we have to reorder society in such a way that it is impossible to profit from environmental destruction.

Those of us old enough to remember when you didn’t have to have three kids and no limbs to be able to get welfare know that OP is correct and you are wrong.

Lol, when we talk about Blue MAGA, you’re exactly who we mean. And I’ll bet any amount of money that if you actually reply, whatever insipid nonsense you reply with will absolutely prove that point.

And if you become skilled at ignoring all the things Democrats actually do when they have power to plausibly act like their rhetoric matches their policy, you can develop that in to lots of Internet points.

Bill Clinton absolutely bears a huge amount of responsibility for Trump. Both because he helped create the material conditions that made Trump viable, but also because he and Hillary used their influence over the party to stuff every position power from local precincts to the DNC chair with devotees of their Third Way Neoliberal Ghoul politics to ensure the party would never correct course or fix the damage they’d done.
