It's funny how the last decade or so we were always told to save water and ditch the car, you know, be as environmentally friendly as possible only for big companies to come along and basically do the opposite; again and again.

The world is going to shit and everyone knows it, but money talks I guess... I can't fucking take it anymore.

These people that make these decisions have names and addresses.

Every state has a website like this one: https://sos.oregon.gov/business/Pages/find.aspx

And for the low low price of free, you will know their business address, their mailing address, and the personal address of the most important people in any company you look up.

I do not support doxxing of residents and civilians, but lets be real here. Wealthy corps and wealthy people are in charge. People.

Those aren't the same people. More often than not, the people who fuck the environment the most, tend to finance parties that want to end any environmental protection.

It's your country's fault for voting for the political party that doesn't believe in science.

Don't drag Germany into this....

Actually, do whatever to Germany I don't really care

Germany seems fine on some level, at least you don't have a wannabe dictator. What concerns me is that the cold war border is still very visible on political maps.

Worse. The Neo Nazis are winning in the Commie heartland.

Atleast they believe in climate change

The tech oligarchs sided with the magats because the Democrats said they were going to treat AI like the Manhattan project, for safety. One of the biggest reasons the US election cycle went the way it did was because the Democrats said they weren't going to allow this.

In America both parties are shit and they have some people that aspire to some kinds of genocide fascist that I don't support. In my country(Poland) there are more parties, but each one have at least one politician that aspire to genocide.

Even when two sides are bad, one is always worse than the other

The unceasing demonic entities do not have a soul. It is folly to attribute human emotions such as the survival of the human race to a destruction wraith as if it had any other drive than the gluttonous desperate need for growth we have all assigned and written contracts with them, while pretending we have no individual choice. There are so many alternate governments beside rampant hypercapitalist greed slaughter mode that could give humans some power over the immortal global hatemachines that are burying our race as a game. But what do I know, it is normalized by usa to let engines of hell have lifeblood lawyers lobby and extract any value from all corners of society because of "growth". I think every human knows the difference in their bones, between prosperity and growth. Yet some humans even has as their jobs to try to trick in any way possible the targets they only want prosperity. When they know its growth, its goal is to grow and consume us entirely. Then when we have been eradicated, I guess they will just wither away not even caring who won any more. It's disgusting to think about. The lobbying lawyer servants that makes sure they are unstoppable by their masters exponential obliteration march. I think it is vile that you allow these hungering spectres prey on the world under the guise of prosperity. Hypercapitalism is an extremist and occult form of government. You don't even seem to react to the political jesters dance. Entranced by their games? By the allure of their lies? Bleh. It is easy to mistake prosperity for growth. I understand. But now you know. One is poison.
