    Many of them have been watching neoliberal “educational” sources like Kurzgesagt (which gets funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) for greenwashing climate change. eco-porky

      Kurzgesagt (which gets funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)

      I’ll never forgive that “if 99% of humanity dies off, that is still a win for Team Humanity™!” bazinga calculation, which blissfully ignored that what’s left of humanity would be living in the same conditions that killed off the other 99% and therefore would still be wallowing in a dead or dying ecosphere.

      Fucking bazinga trash, complete with obnoxious corpo presentation. corporate-art

        I mean, they wouldn’t be living in the same conditions

        The thing left out is that that 1% would either be the richest as they have money to afford bunkers to purify air, purify water, afford high quality health care, indoor greenhouses, etc., or be the “lucky” few who get to be slaves to take care of the ultra rich in exchange for getting to live in the bunkers

        And somebody funded by Bill Gates would of course count something that leaves the richest few alive as “a win for humanity”

        As long as there’s at least 2 people left, there’s an opportunity for one of them to exploit the other. I call that a win. so-true

          A sufficiently narcissistic bunker billionaire can conjure up an internalized Team Humanity™ with enough free time in their bunker! so-true
