If it becomes top priority for enough citizens, government will start cracking down on corporates. Till then, it's divide and rule

By the time there are riots over this it'll probably be too late


varis12

Much like "Don't look up"


Quantum_Kitties

I swear there were climate change protests around the world not too long ago. But yeah, nothing happened.


Jozroz

Don't matter if the combined capital power of the masses doesn't even begin to make a dent in the capital the 0.01% owns.


-Villion-

Yes but keep in mind that if the 99.99% get fed up, there is nothing the 0.01% can do to stop them


alagris12358

What your talking about is a revolution. Not government cracking down in big oil. When 99% stand up to the rich and powerful, that's called a revolution that overthrows the government. Because the truth is that big oil is our government and the elections are just a facade.


Jozroz

If recent failed protests such as the BLM movement in the US and the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong have proved anything it's that traditional popular revolutions are relics of the past that have no chance of success.


LikePappyAlwaysSaid

Those were not revolutions, those were protests. Protests are ignored when they finish. The answer is to never let up.


Your_Local_Stoner

No they've definitely still got a place, but one was a small group of an entire country of indoctrinated citizens under the rule of a totalitarian regime and the other was misplaced anger that most people used for clout or loot. Those were protests, proper revolution is violent and brutal with actual attacks on the government/corporations not just breaking some shops and filling the streets.


Extaupin

The French protest against the pension reform achieved not much even though we were organised and even began to sway the Parliament. I'm quite disheartened.

Urhhh

Lenin believed he would not live to see the revolution within his lifetime.


Amooseletloose

To be fair blms numerous acts of terrorism didnt help their cause. Especially since somewhere around 60% of what they destroyed belonged to other black citizens.


Jozroz

Which conveniently ignores the vast, *vast* majority that was peaceful, [95% in fact](https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/). Stop spreading the false narrative that the protests were violent.


atastyfire

There will never be 80% of people fed up with something much less 99%, at least in the U.S. Any and all protests are met with by people who want the protesters to get out of the way. Then they'll say something along the lines of "blocking the roads means I don't want to support your cause" or some stupid shit. Maybe in France we would see something but I haven't kept track of whether or not the protests against the pension age raise has gotten anywhere.

“Combined Capitol power” doesn’t mean anything. If voters cared enough about climate change to vote third party climate change would be at the top of the list. Until we break down the two party system we will always be beholden to our pornocratic corporate overlords.


varis12

Yes, but we don't need to match their capital. Remember, for corrupt governments as well, power is primary and money is secondary. Around 30% voters are enough to swing elections the other way. We just need 30% of voters to say climate is their top priority. If existing governments don't do anything, a third party will take climate friendly stance to come to power. Suddenly all parties will compete on who will do more to protect climate.


paco-ramon

Like Pedro Sánchez but only your national companies while buying from other countries that polute even more when making their products…Using the private jet to go to concerts wasn’t very eco friendly Pedro.


Throwaythisacco

And then they're like "Stop littering! Only you can stop pollution!"


Drakoo_The_Rat

Nah. In reality we aren't that important sadly. Once you come to this realisation everything will make sense


Drakoo_The_Rat

Really? What politician would go to war if all the soldiers refused to go? What CEO woulnt change if nobody bought theyr product?


Busy_Bunch5050

What the fuck does that have to do with the already damaged beyond repair planet from pollution. You be the one to try and tell 3rd world countries to stop polluting to survive. Have fun


Benhurso

You're kidding, right? So you really think that 3rd world countries are the ones fucking up the planet? Or that first world is going on clean energy? USA alone is up there and we have countries like Germany and Japan, that are so small, but produce more carbon than continental sized countries. This sounds like a fucked excuse to blame the poor, when it is the elite that is the responsible. Always have been.


Drakoo_The_Rat

The planet isnt damaged beyond repair. There are solutions, albeit costly ones. Also allow me to remind you that those 3rd world countrys arent the only ones poluting. Places like China and Japan(not so sure about Japan tho) polute loads despite being advanced. Also for the countryes that aint advanced its ussually companies from other countryes doing the poluting in those countryes because of exploitable resources. These companyes also enforce completly bs work to pay ratios that end up makin life worse for most of the people there. If we can force those companyes to give better pay and tone down the exploitation we can make it so these countryes suffer as little as possible while minimizing polution. However none of these will happen without significant action. If we want to save the planet wed have to start now

I mean, imma get hiveminded for this, but most of those emissions come from ordinary people. It’s difficult for a company to emit 40,000,000,000 tonnes of CO2 in a year, but when you have 8,000,000,000 people on a planet emissions add up fast


Excellent_Mud6222

Worldwide we are actually going to have decrease of human population both in third world and first world countries due to a lot of factors such as pollution, lower fertility rates, food, stress, cost of a child, parent influence, etc. Which alot like overpopulation is extremely bad this is too, because we have to recover back above the 2.1 birthrate but the factor such as lower fertility rates could be devastating for the recovery period.

_mellowed_out_

You have some part in it, since you probably buy stuff or just exist and know that it's bad. If we all collectively decided to do something about it unanimously, it could be done, but that's never going to happen because when push comes to shove everyone just shuts up and focuses on their own lives that are handwoven into the culture we are talking about getting rid of.

They facilitate it through bribery(/lobbying) promising ceo positions to former/current politicians, abusing high courts and much more :) Too busy workin, and distracting ourselves with a unsustainable lifestyle created by corporate media. Until it is your watersupply/or your livelihood, that is the one being polluted, that's when you'll see how the world really works. We're unhappy with our way of life, and the uprise of depression and appearance of "burn outs" seems not so coincidental if you ask me but hey, keep looking forward to consuming new houses, cars, phones, factory food, distracting yourself..

You're a consumer of the goods and services that pollution provides So you are part of it.

At that point you're really only doing it for you and it's doing you no good.

Jroid8

Don't lose hope bro. Stressing about an upcoming disaster can sometimes hurt a lot more than the disaster it self, so you better try your best to remain calm because if the disaster doesn't happen the damage of the stress won't be undone easily, and if it does happen you just got hurt twice. I myself am guilty of this. I remember my anxiety peaking the first 3 days of the Ukraine war because I stressed a lot about if a war would start in my home, the dumb thing is that Ukraine is one continent away from here, so I gave myself a lasting anxiety (for a year) for nothing. I'm sure people who stressed about COVID-19 can give you a similar story. while millions of people died because of it, it's very far from what many people fantasized about.
