The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image.

50 years ago most waterways in the US were so polluted as to be dead to wildlife. Cities buildings were black with pollution.
Global warming is actually minor compared to the immediate death people were facing decades ago. For example unchecked ozone depletion could have resulted in the destruction of all rice crops on Earth. An analogy that comes to mind is the Black Plague vs Covid. It's not that Covid wasn't (isn't) a problem. And like Covid we are deploying modern technology to fix the problems. Solar is being installed everywhere. The US is going backwards temporarily. But the US isn't the world. Europe and China are getting things done.
People who see the problems are the absolutely not the ones who should be killing themselves. They're the only ones that can contribute to the future.
Difference is that, those problems had relatively easier solution which was being worked on. This does not hold for global warming, we are not even trying!
Honestly, it's pathetic that you try to look at things rose-tinted. Is it that hard to accept imminent crisis?

The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

For sure, and props to you for being open about that—something this post is arguing for IRL (trustafarians tend to conceal their privilege)

It required global cooperation to ban CFC's and restore the ozone layer. It required destroying large corporations so the the rivers could be clean again. These things were done and can continue to be done.

Absolutely not true. 1.08 terawatts of power are solar in China. 1.6Terrawatts in US. 107.6 GW in Germany. France has always been Nuclear. Massive EV adoption in China and Europe.
it’s pathetic that you try to look at things rose-tinted
I grew up in the 1970's when you couldn't swim or fish in the rivers. The city was filthy, and not in today's sanitized "oh there's some trash". Every surface in the city was covered in black grime. Moths in cities evolved into black variations because cities weren't white concrete- they were black grime.

The world is so much cleaner than 50 years ago.
This is what has been done recently:
Past improvements don't mean we need to stop!

Congratulations on your detachment from reality.

why would you insult somebody for being middle-class
Trust fund isn't middle class.

You're on ML, rabidly hating the rich should be your thing.

Climate change isn't the same as cleaning up litter? It's on a global scale of gigatons of emissions, involving every industrialized nation all interacting together with the environment.
This is bigger than anything in human history. Stop fucking comparing it to cleaning up some fucking tires in a river.

mm... well I hate billionaires for being exploitative and shit. And I'd like to see their money shared around. But a trust fund is something that one is given by the circumstances of their birth, not something one needs to be an exploitative asshole for. Perhaps their parents are exploitative assholes, sure, but why would I hate somebody just for being born into privilege?

That's far too reasonable a viewpoint, you'll get banned from your instance talking like that.

I.. I don't understand what is happening here. You are the one who is advocating insulting people for having a trust fund, but you're saying I'm too reasonable because I disagree?
Anyway, if you think I'd be banned for that opinion, you might have misunderstood something something about our philosophy. Karl Marx grew up in a wealthy family, after all.

As someone who effectively lives in his grandmother's attic and "vibes" I am insulted by the vague comparison. I have to budget with my job damnit, I work as a courier one day a week.
The rest of the week is me doing autism and childhood PTSD things, so jacking off and playing Fallout NV. Also getting new scars via cats.
I also have a far better sense of fashion, THE 1940 SWEDISH TANKER GREAT COAT STAYS ON DURING SEX!
But have you 100 % NV yet? I'm currently trying to.

This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.
Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

Wanna bet that whoever latches onto the image to jam their lazy uninformed truthiness (as Stephen Colbert coined the term) narrative into, uses the same kind of lazy uninformed truthiness narrative
