For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

I will not engage in climate denial by pretending individual efforts can outcompete corporate & military polluters to save us from climate collapse.

You could broaden the scope of what you believe you "can" do

I think actively participating in anti-capitalist revolutionary efforts is the most meaningful thing we can do. I don’t think we can save the planet without it.

We’re going to have to choose between a few dead oil executives, or a dead planet.

All avenues are important. Effort needs to be put into what you stated, but effort also needs to be put into helping people who are living month to month make the small changes that they are able to. Not everyone is in a privileged position of being able to upend their entire world without life changing consequences.

I agree, and ... OP's meme doesn't exclude that as an option?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It implies a preference for performative action, I’d say.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't really see that interpretation. How does it imply it?

The climate is going to suffer, there's no doubt about that. When that happens, obviously humans will try to fix it. Why be a doomer now when you could start fixing what you can?
