How do y’all cope with this
Are you morally obligated or are you ethically obligated? Or is it both?
I’m just here to blow shit up tbh
Are you morally obligated or are you ethically obligated? Or is it both?
difference?
I would say ethics doesn’t really make sense unless there is some sort of rulebook calling for this that I’m not aware of. Because I’d say moral-but-not-ethical is doing what’s right even if it’s against the rules/expectations that apply to you (particularly in a professional capacity, and even then there are different contexts like company policy vs wider ethics).
I struggle every day with the thought that the corporate noose tightening around all of our necks will not be solved unless we as a society begin to provide some real … ‘mortal incentive’ to the oligarchs of the world. No way I could ever do it myself, but I understand the need for it now more than ever.
Normally I’m a solutions guy. I shouldn’t be coming up with this as a solution for the issues of the world right now, but it’s gotten so egregious that the systems we’ve put in place FOR THE PEOPLE are not working for the people any longer.Blowing it up will not stop them as they’d just rebuild. More pollution in the process.
they’d just rebuild
that’s why you have to kill the people in charge as well.
Yeah, I assume there’s gotta be a better way. Like clogging it beyond repair (shut off+completely solidified), siphoning operations (assuming a spill isn’t caused)… And in either case, converting it into something less bad and/or storing the carbon in a stable manner.
(Although even rebuilding from what I see may be at least $1M-$2M per mile, they sure have the money but it’s not insignificant either)
Run for office(or help someone) and make changes.
Ah yes, in 50 years we can make a real difference! If even that due to our flawed (FPtP) voting system and money in politics. We should give it a try though, as I don’t think anyone has ever tried it before. Particularly as I assume these sorts of problems became known just this year… because otherwise we would’ve fixed them with our caring, functional, and proactive government ((/s))
Monkey Wrench gang gang
Exactly what I was just thinking. This exact realization is a significant plot point in the book
I am re-reading this currently! Love KSR, but wow eerily apt with MftF.
Smash the Petroliarchy!!!
How about a foreign fossil fuel infrastructure first?

I would, but this bad air quality thanks to our fossil fuel industry has given me pretty bad asthma and other respetory problems resulting in low energy.
Too sleepy.
Y’all blow it up for me tho, ya? Imma take a nap.
I watch the Watchmen.
See, by posting this, I’m on the watchlist too. So the watchlist is watching the watchmen watching the watchlist watching the watchmen ad infinitum. If you’re asking “watch the fuck?”, to explain without using the word watch, I’ve engaged an infinite mobius surveillance loop.
Side note, by making it to the bottom of this comment, you’ve all done Dr. Seuss proud.
Easy. Think this, believe this, never do anything about it. Let’s see how you grow to handle it.
and pay attention to your wife!
I wonder how many of these sabotage memes are started by foreign governments
Does that mean I’m morally obligated to burn that lady’s shirt?
Just killing billionaires is probably the best option
Can we run a Go Fund Me to hire a hitman?
I generally imagine myself standing on trial with the argument of self defense. While it’s what I would argue in a hypothetical criminal trial, the outcome is enough of a deterrent
