Correct. What many don't know is that this Grandma used to be an Exxon Executive.

If she voted for the cowboy, she's to blame.

Except it literally is the fault of like 30 people. We can directly pinpoint the cause of the problem onto the actions of specific individuals.

No but snowflakes are arguably more equal in their role and function than humans in society are. Powerless people exist, and it’s most people.

But snowflakes literally aren't responsible for an avalanache. A cow in a stampede has no choice but to follow the herd, it's the whoever or whatever started the stampede/avalanche that's responsible.

That's because they literally aren't.

Well passing blame to the parallel tangent and doing nothing upstream is still being compliant. That’s this generation’s decision to act this way.

And not voting just to be compliant to a trump monster making shit worse was also this generation’s decision.

This generation will have a lot to answer for until the day they die.

Especially what with their memes like this one boasting inaction while they just sat on their phones blaming the random parallel tangents of generations of people while they do absolutely nothing to face these political issues head on.

Blaming a geriatric in a wheel chair who probably burned more bras than they ever did doesn’t make waves in the political sea. But these people know that cuz they have absolutely no intention of doing anything productive. This meme is just further disappointment of the absolute trash and failure of the current generation inaction. It screams how they refuse to do anything effective. They like their life the way it is. They just don’t want any responsibility of the choices they make that could be different. So it’s just easier for them to pretend it’s the previous generation (each and every person of it) somehow withholding their power of choice.

Yeah but my grandma in the peace corps wasn't responsible for that

The USA is a democratic country and climate change was known about for a while now.

I've seen some videos where US citizens are proud that it is not democracy and does not have national elections, instead it has electoral college. Well, at least USA did something good and sanctioned putin's rocketmaker.

I mean, it's reasonable to say they could have done something and failed to do so. However, when you start to dig into what they could have done, it's hard to think of anything particularly effective and easy to see why they could have been convinced into inaction. So you could say they made a mistake, but were not fully at fault. The ones at fault are the ones who have been convincing them.

I like to say that responsibility isn't neatly divided up into percentages. Someone can be fully 100% responsible for something that happened, but other people can have some minor responsibility also. There's no threshold between being responsible or not, either, it's a sliding scale. When assigning responsibility and blame it's important to remember these things.

Maybe avenging some stuff will make you feel less tired.

Rather 'The Avengers vs Climate Activists'

Marvel Defenders of The Status Quo

Yes, but they had no information about the negative aspects of those policies due to marketing and outright lies they were exposed to from propaganda, published by those 200 [hyperbole] people who were actually responsible.

found the old person who feels responsible but unable to handle knowing they're at fault

Yeah, we had really crap parents. Honestly the worst generation of parents to ever exist in history. Just complete garbage human beings.

Well, we learned it from somewhere old fuck.

Well not southern Ontario anymore.

It's quite "comedy " because in some places governments are obsessed with green policy which led to closing many nuclear powerplants but now only alternative is fosil fuel because renewables are so inefficient. And also make people to pay renewable fees for ever wat of energy they use. It's not driven by reason but by feelngs on both sites.

These kids do not actually care. they do not give a shit about what the establishment is doing.

Shell is currently releasing pure death into the air and water (biggest oil spill 2010 - Barack Obama was a voted in president at this time ) and nestle charges for water use (flint water disaster 2014 - - Barack Obama was a voted in president at this time) baby formula was 1974 - (Richard Nixon ) and dupont released c8 into water supply in 1984. - (Ronald Reagan).

these genZ dumb fucks just sit down and whine how their grandma somehow retroactively voted for it with intention back in 1960. Meanwhile this could have been reversed any time in the past 60 years (even the last 15) since but they are intentionally pretending like that was never an option so they can continue their dumb ass dog pile on ancient shit.

I wonder what things Gen Y through Alpha are doing which will negatively affect Gen Beta through Delta...

The generation before us also had a class divide, and a good deal of them fought against that divide. The average boomer is no more Diane Feinstein than a millennial is Skreli.

Right? "Entered comments to pass responsibility and blame to someone else.

Except They did fight the system and protested and in ways and with fortitude like you’ve never seen or heard of in this day and age.

Burning bras was the light part of it. And there’s many anti establishment tunes people still listen to today that we’re made in the 1960s.

The dark part of it was people allowing themselves to be run over by tanks, setting themselves on fire, purposely deforming their bodies by holding an arm up until it dies for 45 yrs.

They weren’t complacent.

If you're talking about Ronald Reagan, he literally won or tied in every age group, except for the 18-21 block, which he lost by 1 percentage point. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980

Friendly reminder that ageism is a ploy used by capitalists to distract from the only meaningful difference between groups: their class. Because the Boomers are gonna be dead pretty soon and posting memes blaming them for societal problems which existed before them and which will exist after the fact is going to do about as much to improve the material conditions of the world and the people in it as it does today. Which is to say: dick all.

Rant back on//

And look at you talk like no one protested in the 1960s about this same stuff during their generation

PEOPLE STOOD IN FRONT OF TANKS AND ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO GET RUN OVER AND SET THEMSELVES ON FIRE.

ONE DUDE EVEN LEFT HIS ARM UP UNTIL IT DIED INTO A LIFELESS STUMP IN PROTEST.

you didn’t invent the word ‘protest’. You haven’t even gotten your feet burnt on the word yet.

Someone before you invented anti establishment songs that were also popular.

https://www.denvercenter.org/news-center/protest-songs-of-the-60s-and-70s/

There was definitely an audience.

If anything : grandma’s days of protest make you look like the compliant one. You’re entirely compliant. Just whiney.watch out you don’t get any ash on your Pajamas what with all your ‘protesting’ online….making ….memes.

PS: as much as you want to cry about previous president and voting decisions: watch yourself. For Trump was this generation. You can cry all you want about how you didn’t vote him in but being compliant and not voting doesn’t undo it. So prepare yourself for you’re going to be forever blamed in the future for trump having had power to be destructive.

And you still didn’t protest anywhere near the previous generations did when someone got voted in they didn’t like. So good luck explaining that to future generations. You can say it’s the NRA. You can say it’s the proud boys. But so long as we all use the generational argument you’ve gotten all cozy and latched onto: Trump is going to be considered to be all on you. That is the exact logic you are using after all.

That’s isn’t what the OP posted. So just sharing some of that blame so they know it.

If you dish it, take it, hypocrite.

Ok Trump lover. He is after all what your generation allowed into power. Good luck on explaining that one to the future generations.

Not always, check Sahara for instance. Went from grass lands with biggest lake on planet to dust dry place within hundreds of years as Egyptians who built pyramids still lived in period before total desrtification. That affected whole world climate BTW.

Is it though? There are scientists who claim golf stream will stop but also that it won't. There are scientists claiming that warmer temperature will cause horrible food shortages etc but others who say it will also create better enviroment for plants (warm + CO2) which among others are main source of nutrition for humans and animals consumed by humans. It might even extend tropical life rich waters. Human understanding came far but it's still lacking. I'm all for nature preservertion but is building huge wind plants in middle of mountains forest gonna safe us or have any effect as oppose to negatively affecting nature?
We need reason and not sensationism to drive these changes, IMHO.

Welcome to the conversation. I’ll catch up on the point being made here and I’ll even give you the TLDR version:This ain’t on your grandma and who she voted for if it doesn’t matter the president cleaning up the same oil spill. The bipartisan on both sides had its chance. Still failed. So that means whomever voted against her won and got it wrong too.

And what are you?

Sophistry and ad hominems provide poor cover. It's just intended to manipulate your own feelings, and avoid unpleasant thoughts you don't wish to process.
