2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

MODERATORS
they used biodegradable paint, because they anticipated comments on the internet like the one you have made, complete with an ad hominem attack. the boat didnt need to be repainted.
where would you like them to "plant trees" in the meaningful way you would prefer these "idiots" to do? In the acres of land they happen to own that they can reforest with native species, yes? Perhaps you should contact them to remind them about the land they own that they've forgotten about.
what they're doing is getting headlines and drawing attention to how "billionaires should not exist", which they've done. People are seeing this, people are thinking about it, people are talking about it, people are taking time to hot-take simple solutions to the climate emergency like "them idiot protesters should go plant some meaningful trees"
I'm not sure if you're bootlicking for billionaires intentionally or not, but attacking those attacking them with your useless armchair "meaningful solutuion" only serves them...
Well put and you included a source that’s bonus points yo
Or sink the damn yacht.
Imagine that, some people are actually willing to sacrifice for change, unlike your useless ass who only seems interested in criticising those actually acting.
Broooo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So you're saying you think they should burn the yacht?
Fine we'll burn it AND plant enough trees to offset the carbon of it's destruction. You in now?
What if instead of shitting on people that are trying to support your cause, you instead try to kindly guide them or show them how you see things.
Especially considering you’re supposed to be a wookie Mr. >:(
Eating a single rich person is equivalent to planting millions of trees.
It'd be better if we didn't have to replant the trees they cut down in the first place.
