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?

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

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.
