I saw it. That implies that spraying cornstarch won’t change anything. Think about it.

    You need to learn to become compelling if you want to be heard. Annoying people will get you ignored, and likely discredited.

    Also, you know nothing about me.

    You wrote “people like you” referring to me. Consider this lesson one in becoming compelling: know your audience.

    I know this is nitpicking but.. I'd say the biggest issue with electric car now is the pricing. What do you think poor people should do?

    We should ride bicycles and public transit, and the government should be investing in rail and walkability for us

    This is such a clarifying post.

    It's not about being useful, it's about feeling useful. It's about the impotent frustration of feeling you're not having an impact being channeled through a media stunt whether or not it in fact changes anything, or even if it makes things worse.

    That is what's going on here, I think. Strategic thinking about this is slow and involves a long road and political concessions and compromises and getting involved hands-on with very out-of-sight things for a long time. This takes a second and it makes it to the news, so it feels like something got done, even if it wasn't the case.

    And that's 21st century activism in a nutshell, basically.

    That’s the implication of the meme.

    I think there are better ways to bring attention to the concerns of climate change than defacing Stonehenge.

    Yeah I'm sure you were against the BLM protests as well. Begone liberal 👋

    It’s really cool how you decide the opinions and stance of others based on your own opinions. I’m sure you’re always right too.

    I protested with BLM in Yonkers in June of 2020, but I’m sure you’re usually 100% correct otherwise.

    The implication of the meme is that the people talking about how stupid the protests are are actually blind to the very real climate change happening. They might know about it, but they don't really comprehend that defacing the Stonehenge is nothing compared to it being completely underwater, alongside the whole area.

    Whether the comic is right or wrong is another thing, and the other guy arguing in bad faith is a cunt, but I strongly believe that's what the comic is meant to portray.

    And you're someone with poor spelling and reading comprehension.

    It's you're, not your.

    Its a poor indication of your position when you mock the delivery instead of the message.

    I mocked his position and delivery actually because I said he also has poor reading comprehension. I read their entire chain of comments before replying, and it was evident @blindbunny@lemmy.ml was having issues reading and understanding the messages @disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world was sending.

    Very unrelated, but I noticed you have a downvote, visible. Is this possible on this instance? Has something changed or is it a bug? Other posts/comments dont seem to have downvotes, but here I can see that the post and some comments have a single downvote. Do you have any clue? I think only your comments and the post have a downvote, could it be the person you talked to somehow managed to get their downvotes to show?

    Downvotes being visible is possible throughout lemmy because the voting is federated and therefore public. Whether downvotes show depends on whatever frontend you're using, so your mobile app or your instance's web view. There has recently been an update that changed how votes are displayed, so it's possible your instance has updated to that.

    Oh its oke (the instance decides if the downvotes are visible and since this post is on an instance that doesnt show downvotes separately I found it weird that I saw a visible single downvote both on the post and your comments.
