Abolitionists are an easy example.

Now if you mean a majority of people, yeah not really. But people in general, it happens.

Don’t plankton mostly release that back into the atmosphere when they die though? Trees sequester it underground as roots and above ground as wood (assuming it doesnt burn, which is an increasingly ambitious assumption)

Most “we plant a tree for every _____” things are just scams. They plant the trees, sometimes as monocrops that could never become a healthy forest, and usually without monitoring the trees or guaranteeing their survival into at least early-maturity.

Living in the US is a health issue lol, especially mental health, especially if you have too few decimal places in your bank account.

So just whining on Lemmy then, got it.

“stealing an election openly and shamelessly is a whole different thing”…yet, they still have support and zero repercussions after sending in a mob to kill cops and politicians in order to create a distraction for fake election officials with fake election documents to sneak into the certification process and overthrow the government.

…because the party you’re so concerned with voting for did nothing to hold the chief architect accountable.

Yes, Trump has mentioned many things he hasn’t done. Hypotheticals about GOP governors are just that: hypotheticals. And what are the National Guard going to do anyway? People can just show up and vote. If anything, it would probably motivate the “we should be at brunch and ignoring genocide” Kamala crowd even more.

Far fewer illegal immigrants? At least that’s what DHS says, so yes.

Well if they say so! And good thing they took all those vicious terrorists weaponizing their cars off the streets, too! Everyone knows DHS would never tell a lie.

They kidnapped plenty of people. Then they got run off.

protests haven’t done anything effective in the last 20+ years in the US

lmao you think by “in the streets” I mean No Kings protests? Privileged liberal for sure.

So either buckle up and prepare for something bigger or shut up

Seeing as you’re clearly incapable of the latter despite having no idea what you’re talking about, does “buckling up” solely entail whining about how powerless I am on Lemmy or is there more to it? Just want to be sure I’m following your instructions to the letter.

I don’t care what someone who voted to fund Israel has to say about anything.

…Yeah, DC, just about the only place in the US that doesn’t require a governor’s approval or Insurrection Act criteria to be met in order to call in the National Guard. Great example, for sure, yeah man, totally gonna expand to the whole country.

ICE absolutely got run out of Minneapolis. Tf you mean they “finished their job”, do you think there are zero immigrants left to kidnap in the whole state?

You can keep crying and doomsaying and insisting we’re powerless, that’s what liberals are good for after all. The people actually in the streets (which I’m increasingly certain is not you) will hold it down, don’t worry. Not to mention Trump probably doesn’t even have the political capital to pull off a coup amongst his own base anymore.

It was fun to show up in keffiyehs and watch the old libs clutch their pearls, at least.

And to pass out anti-ICE info to middle-aged and older folks who may not have necessarily been aware of those resources.

But yeah fuck No Kings.

…You left the part out of your quote where I specified examples of it already happening

How many people are willing to get into a shooting battle with the ICE-aligned PD

Quite a few, if necessary to defend our rights. Why do you think they got run out of Minneapolis? People started barricading the street and doing armed patrols. In a number of other locations, people actually started shooting. Some were never apprehended, some got insane sentences. But stealing an election openly and shamelessly is a whole different ball game.

Even if people are individually angry, there is no collective organization that opposes the current administration.

Lmao wtf are you talking about? Are you just a liberal who never left the house? There is substantial organization against Trump’s Gestapo.

aight debate class, you do your thing

Leave it to an AI cultist to equate slop-generation carbon footprint with the carbon footprint of actual lifeforms 🤡 Fuck outta here with that bullshit. Fuck your AI.

From my “outside”, you look like a tech bro pushing the new NFT’s.

Who said “cat videos”? I said incel slop and CSAM. That’s literally mostly what Grok is used for.

Good for your customers for being the exception and using it for something that matters, but it’s still “fuck AI” in general.

But after all, people do live longer and less children die per capita now than before the industrialization.

So far. The consequences of industrialization are still pending.

I know all AI is an ecological hazard and none of its use cases aside from very narrow medical and scientific applications justify using it at all.

People have been eating meat longer than humans have had languages. Your whataboutism is boring and irrelevant. Just because there are other, larger, necessary steps to take doesn’t mean we need to act as unpaid apologists for technocultists shooting our species in the foot while we try to get there. Fuck your AI.

I don’t have a golf course or a membership so

thanks for that irrelevant factoid

and yes I am vegan, but eating meat is, in many cases, a culturally ingrained practice which people need time to understand the harms of. AI is not culturally ingrained for anyone with an actual culture. People need to eat - it shouldn’t be meat, but I’m not going to shame people for not seeing their harm yet. People do not need to generate slop. I am going to bully all AI users.

Yes, I could, and then I’d look very stupid and annoying, so I won’t.

Use of Youtube isn’t spiking fossil fuel consumption to an appreciable extent like AI is.
