@climatebrad Damn inconvenient. There should be tougher laws.

I am Jack's Lost 404

@phil_stevens @climatebrad

idk, the laws of physics and thermodynamics are pretty tough...

Dynamical systems would be nice if they'd follow more rules though...

@float13 @phil_stevens @climatebrad

Anyone who has taken on the second law of thermodynamics with the intention of beating it has always lost

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @float13 @climatebrad Someone needs to come to Aotearoa and explain this to our far-right overlords.

Singapore experimented with neoliberalism in the 90s. They ditched it when it blew up in their faces.

Real businessmen don’t have time for BS.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @float13 @phil_stevens @climatebrad I don't have anything against the laws of thermodynamics - hell, I support em! - but there's a time a place for protesting, and wholesale blocking of people's commutes only hurts the people it's purporting to represent, and doing so should be criminal

@jgilbert and what will happened if you do not support physical laws?

GhostOnTheHalfShell

@jgilbert @float13 @phil_stevens @climatebrad

I can't agree that it's criminal, nor should it be made so, but I'm ambivalent about blocking traffic.

Jegrudisson

I thought, it is fine enough to pay higher taxes?!

@climatebrad
They're gonna leave us to die. When the consequences of their actions hit they will take their money and peace out on the rest of us. lolol

Best system for distributing resources, amirite?

@climatebrad #Trump disgusted me again. The #ClimateChange denier does a photo op amidst the #Helene destruction lying about the response from the #Biden administration. What a deplorable #creep.

@climatebrad

Strikethrough the term activists.

"Don't you hate it when climate (!) blocks highways"

@climatebrad Same here in Pyrenean Mountains,
Long time ago, activists fought to try to prevent heavy truck trafic between France and Spain... Super heavy rains did the job.

@climatebrad

would be better to block fossil energy facilities, or representatives (governments) buildings

blocking road / public services only raises hate towards climate activists and put them in danger

Rainne

@climatebrad Yes. People on their commute aren't causing this; the oil industry and government are. Picking on regular people is cowardly; go after the sources, where it actually makes a difference, and all else follows from that.
