I think this might be one of the most arrogant and carbrained things I've ever seen. These people launch (working!) cars off of a cliff into what should've been a pristine riverbank, complete with leaking oil and fuel and fluids, for...fun? And they cut down over a thousand trees to do it?

What about cleanup? They claim they "meticulously" clean everything up afterwards but...how? How do they retrieve every single piece of debris, every shard of metal and plastic and glass, every single square millimeter of contaminated soil after this?

ah yes, collective punishment

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We’re all enablers at this point

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am not to any significant degree, and have done wirk against this at times in my life.

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There is a whole lot more we could be doing. The fact that people in power are doing things like this already says we haven’t done enough. We have not gone extreme enough if this shit is occurring

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes but this is a cause of peoppe who want to live, and this cukture doesnt love letting people who kill the powerful do that

So everybody dies. Unless some old fuvkers want to plant some trees in whose shade they will never sit.

Fuck that shit. This isnt me. I wouldn't do this. This isnt you. You wouldnt do this.

That shit absolves these fuckers of being such vile fuckers.

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If these monsters are the ones in power making these decisions, then no, we aren’t doing enough.

Well, if you dont deserve to live, and you absolutely cannot be convinced otherwise; names and addresses arent hard to find for making very loud very personal statements.

[–] tccpdi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, just the gringos that do this kind of shit

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Those crackers are there because a bunch of people enabled them to be there

I think we are devolving. More I talk to people the more I feel they lack simple knowledge. I recently spoke to someone that didn't know what the 4 step water cycle is, I fucking learned that in elementary school.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think adding the 4 step in front may have confused them. I was only ever taught it was the water cycle it was never called the 4 step cycle, probably because water can kinda do the cycle in whatever step it wants. Some rain becomes ground water, some rain becomes runoff, some rain evaporates shortly after falling all from the same rain storm.

Someone downvoted you, and I can't imagine why. I've never heard it called that either.
