Just Stop Oil are seen as a menace to society, all the while they desperately try and raise awareness of the disaster we're hurtling towards.

    It probably doesn’t help that they have an obvious conflict of interest: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2022/10/21/getty-oil-heiress-funds-climate-crisis-activism-just-stop-oil

      Aileen Getty has not personally worked in the oil industry and has poured much of her fortune into philanthropic ventures related to the climate crisis.

      Isn’t this what we want these rich people to be doing?

        Sure, in theory, but it might be a little naive to start trusting them because of a few good deeds.

        I’m still inclined to believe there’s ulterior motives. The same holds for the charities they choose to patron.

We have moved to https://lemm.ee/c/collapse – please adjust your subscriptions

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.
