  • Ok, I looked at your post history and you’re a troll so I’m blocking you, but here is my answer for the others :

    What are you even talking about? The problem is not solved if that’s what you mean. Some things are worst, but many things changed for the better in the last 40 years. For instance the emission of europe decreased by more than 30% since I was your age (5yo), not counting deindustrialization. It’s insufficient, but it has to start somewhere.

    Many of those changes come from the public support, that is shown in many ways, including the lifestyle of the voters. For instance if the dutch people didn’t start cycling that much, leading the way for the rest of northern europe, the emissions from transportation would be higher on the continent.

    I’m not here to make you a list. You can just look for yourself, and you should because apparently you are not informed at all on the matter (memes are not a source of information). So really I don’t know what you are so condescending about.

    I get it that’s a lot more words than you can take, and you are too busy wasting your youth cosplaying a revolutionnary on the internet while living your life like the rightoid that you are, so have fun with that. See, other people can be condescending too.






  • Well, those corporation did not create the problem alone, but their lobbying over corrupt or weak politicians in the last 40years certainly is the reason we are still in that mess, along with their ability to buy medias.

    But well, they are not going to solve anything by themselves are they? So what do we do? Live our life as right wing oppressors of the third world while mumbling about capitalism on the internet?

    I’m a bit old to still wait for a revolution. I still hope for one, kind of, but I’m afraid the far right would use it to take over. I would participate though.

    The only other way out I can think of is to change our habits, and slowly show other people that life is good this way, because it is.

    Honestly the changes in the good direction over the past 30 years are impressive, even though they are slow.

    On the other hand, Trump is so dumb that he might solve part of the problem by mistake.


  • You’re right, for some reasons we see it as “the 10% per country”. If you’re from north America or Europe you will very probably end up in the world’s 10% at one point in your life.

    The fucked up part is that you can be in the 10%, be a part of the problem, and still have a shitty life, because the system is that fucked up.




  • I had the reverse problem when listening to the excellent “the fall of Rome” podcast. At some point, the american host starts to talk extensively about a city port in the South of France named something like “Awol”.

    I was confused, thinking : “I lived close to the area he is describing for 3 years as a student, and never heard of that city. Maybe it’s like in Marseille where the port was re discovered in the 80s inland, many hundred meters from the sea.” After more than an hour of listening I realised he was simply saying “Arles” with an American accent.

    It is a very famous Roman city with beautiful ruins where I went several times, so I might just be dumb.
