The firebombings, dingus.
-
My parents said the same thing about air pollution and carbon emissions
-
yeah this is a really stupid argument
"It's not like Israël is gonna stop killing Palestinians if I refuse to kill Palestinians"
-
I suppose the difference is that a country doesn't just get conquered by force if it stops polluting.
-
I wonder how many arms companies aren't involved with Israel.
-
Potentially the prosthetic arm companies
-
When you realize they actually have an adverse incentive to support indiscriminate bombardment...

I never would. And never have.

I mean
That's true tho, pretty much nobody else murders Palestiniains but Israel still does.
Change on all of these scales has to come from societies around the world, not from individuals.

Almost all pollution is by industries and not your parents, so...
-
Everybody has their price.
-
yes but I'm saying that doesn't mean you should just start killing Palestinians as well
-
No one mournes the wicked.
-
Doesn’t make you any less responsible when the fruits of your labor are used to murder civilians.

I am aware, it's just a topical joke about Boeing's commercial planes falling apart.

Buying a big SUV, shopping at h&m, eating red meat multiple times a week, and flying to the other side of the world during summer, are all worse than voting for climate change. Companies don't pollute for the sake of it.

If we don't build the bombs dropped on Gaza, China will.

Check out the EPA's stats on ghg emissions at this LINK. 28% of emissions total are from non-agriculture/shipping transportation, and if you break then 57% of the 28% are light duty vehicles, all larger road vehicles are 23%, and aircraft are 9%.
Since 2005 emissions carbon-equivalent total of the USA has fallen about a billion metric tons thanks to awareness and federal programs to reduce and eliminate emissions, almost exclusively in the Electrical Power sector.
So even if you cut out all consumer non-business transport you're left with 72% of emissions. A person who votes to curttail polution does more good than a person who drives a hybrid.
