You’ll have to excuse me, your gotcha question was of low quality, so I assumed you set me up a slam dunk.

My mistake, I expected too much.

Is your question seriously: Would I rather monuments be destroyed and people be alive, or that people be dead and monuments be preserved? Because obviously people are more important. But, if we stop climate change, we are likely to be able to enjoy both people being alive and monuments being preserved.

No, I would prefer we just stop oil.

If we’re all dead, the memorials are for all of us anyway.

There is no art on a dead planet.

Bringing attention and drawing ire are both sides of the same coin. Your sentence points of the hypocrisy:

Take your protests to the places that control these issues. Not a fucking art gallery.

They have been doing that for decades. And it didn’t do anything, did it? The fact that you tell them to do this points out how ineffective it was because you didn’t even know they were.

This same rhetoric you’re saying existed during many protests, from the suffragettes to the civil rights, and it’s always the same response. “It’s ineffective.” “It’s bothering people.” “Do it elsewhere.” “You’re making the cause worse.” It gets pretty repetitive.

The name is the message. Just Stop Oil. And it does work.

And yet, you talk about Just Stop Oil, so it does work.

What does Vincent van Gogh have to do with the current state of the petrol industry? What does any classical artist have to do with the current state of the petrol industry? Why go out of one’s way to try and ruin something that isn’t even remotely related to the subject? They’re only making themselves look like a bad joke.

They literally address this: “There is no art on a dead planet.” If all humans are dead, art means nothing. Just stop using oil.

Pearl clutching aside, the art was protected by a plexiglass barrier and did no permanent harm.

I kinda remember this pandemic response team we used to have… Good thing we didn’t and currently still don’t have an ongoing pandemic killing people worldwide!

People resisted and got a corrupt Supreme Court, dismantled consumer, environmental, worker, and abortion protections, an attempted coup, and somehow we all treat Covid like it wasn’t fucking Trump’s fault.

Shut the actual fuck up, you accelerationist piece of shit. Congratulations on your willingness to sacrifice people who didn’t agree to be sacrificed, I’d rather keep more people alive, Anerica and the world got pretty fucked by Trump.

Worked out really great in 2016, didn’t it? Absolutely brainless take with no basis in reality.

Waymo sucks. They get stuck a lot, tend to cost as much or more than Uber and Lyft, and you basically hope they don’t get stuck trying to navigate around situations because you basically wait until remote assistance fixes it. Also, if you live anywhere near where they park the things, you want Waymo to die in a fire because they honk. ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

I’ll just give you an example even if it’s not reated to unlocking phones: A black BMW 335i is filmed hitting a pedestrian and the plate number finishes with a 5. We’re gonna need to have a look at every BMW within these parameters. If you prevent the police from checking your car by hiding it, a guilty guy might have more time to hide his car and a crime is gonna go unpunished, leaving a victim with no one to pay for his injuries.

And if my car was in an unrelated accident but just happened to fit those criteria, you could use that as evidence against me (and not only that, but then stop trying to solve the crime because you’ve assumed the perpetrator.) It ALWAYS goes both ways. If the only way you can solve a crime is by violating people’s privacy without a warrant, maybe don’t be a cop.

Cops are seen as bad guys because people like you argue for why rights shouldn’t apply to people, and making you get a warrant (aka doing your job) is seen as interfering with a crime.

The worst part is, it is stupidly easy to get warrants here in the US, but the cops WILL make your life miserable if you make them get one.

You could have a goal to destroy and replace the Republican party instead, no? Seems like it’d be an overall better solution to be, shifting all parties further to the left, especially if you consider the Democractic party too far right. I mean, why keep the reactionary party?

If Democrats are that bad, then why can’t the international solidarity be built against them? Why must you advocate for the sacrifices of women, minorities, and LGBT people? Because the people of Gaza aren’t going to be saved by Republicans, that’s for fucking sure.

It’s called Accelerationism, and it tends to work out exceptionally poorly for vulnerable groups, and it also has a significant chance to fail.

So, your goal to fight genocide with more genocide seems to have a fatal flaw.

And yet, letting Trump be president is doing that genocide faster and harsher, stripping women, minorities, and LGBT people of rights, AND MORE!

That is only one of the actions. Voting is harm reduction, and done in tandem with other actions.

Apologies, can you color code the states so that it’s easier to read?

Hey man, I’m future you. I here to give past me a warning. You keep looking like a complete fool and when you look for evidence to support your false claims, it turns out you were wrong the whole time, so you built a time machine to stop yourself. Anyway, the warning is to only use 1.11 Jiggawatts, as you miss the return time to stop yourself from looking foolish by about a day. Good luck!

I’m not sure I understand how that applies here or changes what I posted.
