If you want to stop climate change, the only thing we can that has any hope of working is a peaceful revolution.
To start with, join a union or learn how to unionise your workplace. If you can, look into setting up co-operatives. The IWW has some great resources. Anyone can start a union, you don’t need any sort of special qualifications or knowledge. Join the IWW, they have some great free trainings you can join to learn how to make real change at your workplace.
Once enough people are unionised, we can start building a coalition of unions, all of which can work together to tackle larger and larger issues. If we have strong union efforts in each industry then we can protect the working class against the negative effects of striking - for example, if there are unions in the food production industry, then people striking don’t need to worry about going hungry.
This is how a true people’s revolution happens. With the least amount of violence possible, a bottom-up, people-led movement.
If you believe in this in any way, please, join the IWW. I know it seems like a long journey, but it begins with a single step, and that single step is joining the IWW.
well, I didn't think a somewhat peaceful revolution could be possible, I was rather pessimistic... But now I feel like it is after all !
thanks for giving me hope !
go unions !
Humans speed running our doom before an astroid get a chance to wipe us all first
WerE in ChArgE !
It's ... it's not like that at all.
It's a seemingly complicated Rube Goldberg machine with an enormous amount of other species extinctions before our own.
It's inefficient is that it is.
We need something more direct like the pictured solution. Other species deserve us getting efficient like that.
Ok I'm poor and do everything I can. Stop lumping us all in. Billionaires are three ones fucking up the world. All my lifetime of conservation is undone in a day by a billionaire. I refuse to take equal blame
Billionaires are a cancer. If we don't remove them soon they'll kill us all.
Billionaires are three ones
Pretty much, give or take a handful. It’s OK, the invisible hand of the free market will surely… trails off
I just bought a car that consumes a lot more fuel than my previous one, but I won't have kids, so not even cycling vegans can compete with my carbon footprint reduction, only the childless ones.
You forgot the part where we just kept mashing in the gun, over and over again, into the hole even as it poked through the wall and aimed the barrel at our forehead.
Can you prove the barrel is aimed at our forehead?!
99-100% isn’t 100%! I’ll believe it when I see the exit wound!
I think these two barrels pointing at my head are entirely unrelated, honestly.
Definitely unrelated .... here let's pull the trigger together.
"Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together."

Yeah but to be accurate you should include a baby version of the cat and have the gun barrels aimed at him instead.
the cat
I feel old
TBH I never remember which is Tom and which is Jerry lol. Also...I mean we are old man, sorry. 😞
That is far more depressing than the original image, as presented.
We could have been so much better.
Billionaires: What do you mean? We are doing great 🥂
Quite the HD meme
I clicked in to mention the same thing.
Seems like it has been AI upscaled or generated.
It's unnerving. It causes clashes in my brainhole.
Maybe the reason we haven’t found extraterrestrial life is because they, too, as a civilization have failed to stop itself from self-destruction.
Perhaps this is the bitter and paradoxical nature of life. The struggle to exist but is doomed to go extinct.
they are not natural, Democrats are causing them with their tornado machines and hell portals
What makes you think we'll die out? Sure billions will die, but we're like cockroaches, there'll be some left
Just because we always have doesn't mean we always will.
We're managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who's somehow never had a collision. "It's fine, I do this all the time!"
All it takes is one 'not fine' and the story's over.
I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that's less of a dickhead than humans. ...assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn't a guarantee either.
That's because whatever we encountered, there were still places where humans could survive.
If Earth turns into an other Mars, that wouldn't be the case.
Maybe life would survive though. Hopefully.
There's only one way to find out, hey let's GOOOOOO!💪🕜👉🫠
Considering the direction global politics is taking, setting the planet on fire would be an act of mercy at this point.
No - bc the continual floods will keep putting them out:-).
I was going to post some snark about not putting it past humanity to find a way to set the ocean on fire too, but... wait that sounds familiar... oh yeah, we've fucking done it already!
Well there you go: there is a bright side to all of this. One: fire produces light 🌞, hence "bright"😎 (groans in dad joke).
And two, humans are so creative! We really probably could find a way out of this mess, if only we would apply ourselves to doing so...
If only...
