Maybe the genie was espousing the perfect adventurist plot and target that would truly get the masses to rise this time before it got redacted. On the other hand the genie probably told the character they needed to organize and maybe even recited multiple entire audiobooks before it got removed.
Well, if that’s what was needed to give them the power to stop climate change, then the genie was capable of doing it. Or the genie might have just given book recommendations so good they had to be redacted to avoid giving meme readers resources of forbidden knowledge.
Oh shucks, you're right, I guess we'd better just try doing nothing at all instead and hope that works. Or we could "vote" away climate change. Sure, our governments keep ignoring the public in favour of big oil companies, but maybe if we just vote harder they might finally listen to us.
The only period of diminishing atmospheric Co2 concentration in recent history was the COVID lockdown, so halting production and destroying wealth seems to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
we are not suggesting running around and shooting billionaires, that's not a revolution, the Bolsheveik revolution didn't just assassinate the Tsar, there was more.
if saving nature is profitable, why isn't there an insanely rich person who solved global warming yet?
You can't just paint targets and hope their absense will make things better; you have to have ultimatums, so that they and their peers have incentive to change.
But that's like 90% of lib praxis! Boo-hooing about those violent and mean tankies who want to stop poor innocent billionaires from destroying the planet! We're so cruel!
He didn't start Tesla, he bought his way in. The guy hasn't had a single original thought in his life. He just invests in companies that sound cool to him, he doesn't give a shit about the future or the current state of humanity. And he stole that wealth by exploiting the people that work for him. Stop idolizing wealthy people.
Adding to this, he tried to do the whole "X" thing at PayPal and they removed him from his board position because of it. Fortunately for him, he had already bought in with his generational wealth and was able to simply fail upwards from there.
Lemmygrad is a Marxist-Leninist instance, commies or Tankies or whatever you know it as, if you're interested in like learning about it and discussing it you're free to do so, but Capitalist apoligia isn't allowed here.
The only solution rich people have come up with is lying and pretending normal people are responsible so they will buy greenwashed products that won’t make much an impact. Individual electric cars are highly energy intensive and rely on metals mined by child labor, the real solution (accessible public transit) is simply not profitable, the car lobby won’t allow it. The other solution they have is pumping chemicals into the sky to bleach it and artificially block the sun. Is that really what we want? The US military is the number one polluter, when’s it going to be profitable to end them? It won’t because militarism is where the money’s at. Also, rich people didn’t deal with Covid because of their wealth. Millions died because they wanted people to get back to the office and buying things. The people who got rich were entertainment and tech companies. The vaccine wasn’t developed because rich people knew what to do, it was done because the government paid companies to do it and let them keep the money. They then stopped people from getting access to good vaccines through intellectual property and patents, allowing them to get even more money.
Well yea, for example in my country some problem solvers got rich during COVID by overcharging the state for imports of medical and hygienic supplies, because our industrial network is so eroded due to globalization-relocalization that apparently we aren't even able to manufacture some simple face masks anymore. Wealth accumulation never stops, even in a recessive scenario. It just gets accumulated in less hands.
(Edit because bad english)
End of civilization would solve the problem for once, but I'm afraid we are not so close. The wealthy will adapt and continue business as usual. Only the poor will suffer.
We don’t want to destroy wealth, we want to harness it to the needs of the masses and the planet, not for mindless dragon gold piling or endless growth.
How about "stop the resource hoarding ghouls who are continuing to ravage the planet despite knowing full well the irreparable damage they are causing"? Did you really need this spelled out for you?
Wealth is not the problem. Individuals wielding wealth in a way that hurts the rest of us is the problem. Not all rich people are overtly evil. But some are, and acknowledging that seems like as good a place to start with a solution as any.
Lol, this is the exact kind of humor that got me banned from reddit.
Fuck corporations
This is Lemmygrad, don’t worry, you’re safe here
THATS WHAT THEY TOLD ME ABOUT TWITTER!
Lol [REDACTED], and then we'll [REDACTED].
We'll hold [REDACTED] to account for [REDACTED].
I am going to [REDACTED] the [DATA EXPUNGED]!

I love Minecraft
very funny meme
Smells like adventurism but ok lmao xddd
Well then we need definitely more than one (1) gun
Maybe the genie was espousing the perfect adventurist plot and target that would truly get the masses to rise this time before it got redacted. On the other hand the genie probably told the character they needed to organize and maybe even recited multiple entire audiobooks before it got removed.
Ah, all of Marx, Engels and Lenin have been recited to him in the time span it took me to read redacted. Understood.
Well, if that’s what was needed to give them the power to stop climate change, then the genie was capable of doing it. Or the genie might have just given book recommendations so good they had to be redacted to avoid giving meme readers resources of forbidden knowledge.
It doesn't cover it at all. It's just about the moral philosophy behind eco-terrorism (namely, that is justified).
Marxism Today did a video on that book (and the movie) along with a former IRA member who was experienced in bomb making.

Tldr, use the book as a guide on how NOT to blow up a pipeline.
Ah, I see the problem.
I thought of that book too. Maybe that’s part of the genie’s forbidden study plan.
In case the message isn’t clear, the message is to destroy wealth until it magically saves the world.
Oh shucks, you're right, I guess we'd better just try doing nothing at all instead and hope that works. Or we could "vote" away climate change. Sure, our governments keep ignoring the public in favour of big oil companies, but maybe if we just vote harder they might finally listen to us.
What do you think should be done with guns that will solve the climate crisis?

🎵revolution, the only solution
The armed response of an entire nation

We’ve taken all their shit
now it’s time for restitution🎶

Then what are the guns in the comic and the title of this post for?
It’s… a meme title. On a meme comm. Oh my fucking god please liberals stop concern trolling

bro I suggest you go to another Lemmy instance, you're on Lemmygrad rn

I remember the rich during the beginning of COVID saying a lot of us should die so the economy keeps rolling.
The covid lockdown disrupted the global economy, starting WW3 and thereby putting human civilization at risk.
End of civilization would solve the problem for once, but I'm afraid we are not so close. The wealthy will adapt and continue business as usual. Only the poor will suffer.
Did you just blame a future world war on COVID lockdowns?
I can’t imagine unironically agreeing with this
Are you trying to crack a joke? It's hard to tell.
We don’t want to destroy wealth, we want to harness it to the needs of the masses and the planet, not for mindless dragon gold piling or endless growth.
Then what did you intend to represent with the gun pointed at the dollar in your title?
The proletariat can always use force to reappropriate the wealth that is stolen from us.
So what’s the missing link in the [redacted] plan here?
How about "stop the resource hoarding ghouls who are continuing to ravage the planet despite knowing full well the irreparable damage they are causing"? Did you really need this spelled out for you?
Ok I guess this guy makes a good case for commiting adventurism
