Large part of the problem is that most people just don’t really care and will gladly destroy the environment to save themselves the slightest bit of effort.
I’d disagree, that’s a talking point promoted by big oil/corpoghouls to encourage divide and conquer tactics and move perception away from the issues at hand.
There’s been a concerted effort by petrochemical ghouls to hinder any progressive innovation that doesn’t require oil for the last 100 years.
This paired with western societies exceptionalism and belief that it can live outside of nature and limited resources is the biggest driving factor behind the mass extinction event.
We need to radically rethink our society to cause effective change, it’s hard to orchestrate that on the individual level but innovation that can offer convienent alternatives would cause the majority of people to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing quality of life.
At this point in time it is too late for us to continue living as we know it. Billions of people will now have to die, borders will be reshaped and our entire societies will become unrecognisable from what they are today, most likely for the worse.
I paint it out to sound like we should give up, but we absolutely should not. We have a choice to drag our heels kicking and screaming into the future at the detriment for all or we can continue fighting for a better world.
i’d aregue the larger part is the system that alienates people from nature, society and the production of goods.
Yeah… I’ve witnessed it first hand. “I won’t be around when things get really bad, the people of the future can figure it out.”
Literally never wanted to spit on someone more in that moment.
They also don’t realise that we’re the people of the future to others, and… well we certainly ain’t figuring shit out right now.
Well some people will survive, what is the problem!
It’s cool they are using a huge gas guzzler to attack the petrochemical industry.
I was recently on a electric ferry. It was remarkably quiet for a boat of its size, and it was nice being able to walk around the top deck with no diesel fumes… … In any case, I wouldn’t be drawing that kind of conclusion about the boat in the comic. We can barely see it.
The realization that the purpose of our lives may be to discover the tactics of resistance that are not effective in hopes that those that come after survive long enough to find the ones that are effective

Honestly, I think the modified version is mostly better, except for the tiktok watermark. The original has some aspects that are…problematic.
What are those logos?
In the original, Indian companies.
The the edit, oil companies
WTF is up with that comic? are those indian companies?
Much better, thank you.
Honestly didn’t notice, and yeah, don’t disagree. The TikTok watermark in the OP just bugged me, so I looked up the original
Fixed it
- no JPEG artifacts
- clearer corporate logos (on correct-colored backgrounds)
- no tiktok watermark or artist attribution
(the latter not because I didn’t want to give credit, but because I didn’t want to imply that the artist endorsed the modified message)Edit: or title because actually never mind, fuck that bigoted POS
Maybe also remove the name so the creator doesn’t get attention for his other trash
Frigging run-of-the-mill right-wing “humor,” really.
Yeah, but still a bit scary how some people can believe that stuff
I hadn’t actually looked at any of the other comics. Let’s see…
…oh. Oh, no.
Good call on making it harder to search for; I’ve edited it again.
Yeah, uh, removed my top comment, don’t wanna send more people their way.
If anyone’s really curious, it’s just a lot of racism, homophobia, ableism, and slurs.
Basically worst of 2016 edgy humor.
Yeah, I saw the source in another comment and didn’t look at the original comic and then I wanted to see what else they make and kinda regret that afterwards
SS Hoot, or just sshoot 😄
What social media is this crossposted from? Cant be reddit, would have been censored.
It was surprisingly hard to find. And having found it I’m not sure I want to share where I found it.
But if you want to have a bad day search for this.

It’s from September 27, 2019Oooof, self proclaimed racist.
Anarchy is ideology is fundamentally opposed to all hierarchy including racism so this was quite a culture shock.
Turns out even this picture is an edit from an originally racist one.
Hmm… I wonder what this boat runs on
Just in case you don’t understand, the use of petrol and derivatives isn’t a problem per se. The problem is that all the big oil companies spend millions of dollars convincing people and politicians that climate change isn’t real, that environmental regulations are dumb, that they shouldn’t be held liable about any of the pollution created by their products.
The world is burning and they’re throwing more gas on the fire, speeding up the process, in the name of profit.
Well, considering the talking owl, and the strangely fast change of clothing, I’m going to infer a quantum engine fueled by air magic.
