• And in order to fight climate change, we gotta end about four hundred dudes. It’s doable, there’s billions of us.

    • It’s a lot more complicated than just getting rid of a couple hundred people.

      Getting rid of the people won’t get rid of the systemic structures that put them there. If we don’t dismantle those, new people will just take the place of the old and nothing will fundamentally change.

      • No no, killing the CEO of BP will suddenly make you car run on unicorns and your heating work on good vibes.

        We don’t need public transport, investment in green energy and a reduction in our consumption. We need to kill a few guys, that’s all.

      • Interesting thought experiment though: How many new people taking the place of the old ones would have to face lethal consequences before people stopped taking control of those systemic structures?

    • There’s someone for everyone. Except climate change deniers.

      • you know, if we found a way to deny access to breasts to climate change deniers we might have a chance. literally the first thing I’ve ever heard of that gives me a modicum of hope.
