And guess what ... most of the people who 'did what they could' just kept driving their cars. 'What choice did we have?' None.

I think everyone agrees.

It's now Us v Them. People need to start realizing that.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

I absolutely do not agree. Will things get worse? Yes, no sugar-coating it. But every fraction of a degree matters, and defeatism gets us nowhere. There’s still plenty to be done. So either get on board with helping, or stay out of the way, rather than trying to drag the rest of us down.

I'm so scared how many people just keep on keeping on and have no cares.

No fuck that. We're all in this together.

Tribalism ensures everyone's defeat as the world burns

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Tribalism does't mean we should not fight and replace them. They will burn down the world but want you to suffer most and die first. They drove you into this for their wealth and economy.

If you don't want to fight and replace them, then keep on recycling your plastic straws while fossil-fuel companies pump trillons of CO2 cubic feets in air and their execs and your government officals pump trillions of dollars, of the same money you work and pay for, into their pockets.

billionares and super wealthy government officials and fossil-fuel execs who get paid too-much-to-say-no to burning the world with you in it

Lookup fascism.

It's anyone "they" convince you is "them".

Don't forget to check out which people use the "Us vs Them" mentality the most :)

[-] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago

Using it to describe the vernacular is different than employing the tactic.

Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin are all dead.

Seems it's a safe thing to describe it.

Trump is very much alive and kicking

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why is it a safe way to describe it? Just because you deem yourself on the "right side" doesn't make the mentality any less dangerous.

.......are you an insane person?

For fucking real. What exactly are you trying to justify here in this comment?
