im sure the number1 way is to stop oil production,

Oh, that is in your power? Then do it. We'd all love it if you went ahead and stopped all oil production. We're waiting.

But in the mean time, stop torturing vulnerable individuals.

its more about the rich blaming the poors. rather than the rich taking responsibilities

[–] r1veRRR@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

The Rich also do far more to perpetuate patriarchy, and racism. Am I, an average white guy, therefore freed from any and all responsibility? Do I just get to do whatever, because richer, even worse assholes exist somewhere?

More importantly, by your fucking logic, would ANY justice movement EVER have achieved ANYTHING? You're ironically exactly like all the Elon cocksuckers: You're both expecting the rich to magically save us.

You don't control the rich. You control you. You are doing horrific things. You should probably stop, regardless of what rich people do.

Until you take responsibility for what you have done, you will constantly look for ways to excuse yourself rather than trying to actually improve.

the system is rigged. and you are simping the rich

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

How does that make what you are doing okay? Can I use that to excuse any shitty thing I want to do? You're literally doing the thing I just said, trying to distract yourself from your own personal cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals; not rich people's, yours.

stop simping the rich. you shouldn't be getting angry at me. you should be getting angry at the rich for lying to us by saying its our job to fix it and its our fault and not thier fault.

Fuck you, I'm going to simp for the rich twice as hard, now. See? Memes are not thoughts.

Can you do that?
