I can almost see how someone thought those signs were more cute then insulting. Definitely coming from, or okayd by, some energy vampire busybody types who are way too excited to get back to the office and think everyone else wants the same. "ha ha, sure sucks we gotta be uncomfortable and also make our pets sad for this dumb song and dance"

Papa Was A Video Toaster posted:does that mean it's not really suicide if I KMS in my apartment? Maybe I should clarify and say that I, personally, consider Canadian renters to be human beings, and believe they're entitled to civic rights and a certain amount of affection from friends and family. I really like you, renters. It's the system that treats renters like scum. Landlords paint a hallway and install low-flow toilets that they got for free from a government-subsidized program, and then turn around and demand a 10% increase in rent based on "improvements made." You go down to the tenancies board to complain about this and are basically told that you're nothing and nobody after waiting for six weeks. It sucks. And you're like a ghost as far as politicians are concerned. What I'm saying is, don't KYS, Papa Was A Video Toaster. You are needed.

I got evicted from my last place so the landlord could "move in his daughter". That was November and the bitch still ain't moved in. My mom, whose name was on the lease, doesn't want to take him to court because she wants to use him as a reference. New place is smaller, longer commute and costs 50% more.

Conspicuous consumption and disposable items can go, and planned obsolecense needs to die "We just need to learn to live with [insert horrible thing nobody should have to live with]" The groundwork for this has already been laid with covid, forest fires, and floods. We were fine with hundreds of old people just keeling over from heat stroke in BC during the heat dome.

If we can't solve literally every environmental issue in one big sweeping gesture that is accomplished overnight, there's no point in doing anything. We've already lost, right? No point in even making an effort.

Nuclear energy can be useful for addressing climate change but it's not a solution itself, and I don't know why people get so passionate in defending it like it is the solution. We need to address capitalist production and consumption. There are a lot of movements doing this in bits and pieces, most notably in recent years are anti pipeline groups. Those are a more real solution in my mind than a pro nuclear lobby.

It's much more feasible to significantly stall climate change with nuclear power than to try and convince people that consumerism is bad.

My position is that there needs to be an absolute decline in energy and resource use. That can only happen by addressing production for commodity consumption which mean's confronting capitalism. I am not against nuclear. My original point was that environmental movements should be judged primarily based on their opinion of capitalism, not on their opinion of nuclear power. The environmental crises are a result of capitalism. An anticapitalist, antinuclear environmentalist is more useful than a pro capitalist pro nuclear environmentalist. Ideally you can be anticapitalist pronuclear. But time and again the argument comes around to pro or anti nuclear, when the real issue is pro or anti capitalist. e: re feasibility. It's not primarily about convincing people consumerism is bad. It's about building and using power to confront capitalist production and it's already happening. It's not a PR strategy Duck Rodgers has issued a correction as of 19:55 on Mar 8, 2022 |

Fashionable Jorts posted:We've already lost, right? No point in even making an effort. The kind of social and governmental reforms we need to accomplish meaningful change would require staunch and immediate education on all relevant topics so that by the time that generation of people become the voting majority they could be trusted to actually support the necessary means and measures. Even if convincing the current global populace of such were possible at perfect efficiency, it would still take longer than we have. We pretty much are actually hosed.

Politics doesn't need to be PR or convincing individuals what to think. I would suggest that conceptualizing politics in those terms (advertising, marketing, public opinion polling) is capitalist social conditioning. It's the idea that people are individuals, separate from society, who are able to make rational decisions in a marketplace of ideas if they have the proper information and education. But there are already lots of people thinking about and concerned about these issues, who are taking direct collective action. That collective action can be educational, but ideally aimed at long term social engagement rather than transactional short term consumer engagement. But most effective is direct confrontation of capitalist profit, which entails shutting down production. That's why strikes have power. Its not about good will or positive PR. Pipeline blockades and shutdowns allow for non labour to do a similar thing, by restricting transportation and access to markets.
