About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Having a child is on average one of the worst decisions you can make for the climate. Raising your child vegan and carfree can mitigate some, but not all of the climate damage. Raising your child to be a socialist and teaching them how to use a gun can reverse the effect.
Raising my child to remove billionares from the world by whatever means are legal will do more than being car free and vegan can ever do. Yea, let me make my kid walk to school 4km daily (no proper public transport here) while billionaires fly to their coffee machine and back to their bed every morning and have literally every single one of their goods delivered at their doorstep with a car or van, then presented to them in so much plastic packaging that turtles can die before it even gets in the waters. We're not the problem, wasteful rich cunts and lack of regulation are the problem.
Considering they lobby the law into what they want... there, FTFY.
Yea but I was afraid of triggering the mods' "holy shit he's inciting violence" response
this ain't reddit.... yet. In which case you can just hope on another lemmy instance.
Hope it never becomes reddit. I got banned there (site wide, not per sub) because I said war thunder devs have russian bias on the WT sub. Subreddit owners have full rights despite the claims, there is no separation.
Oh, raising a child to be an armed socialist without being vegan or carfree? It's an interesting idea, but I'd worry it's rather difficult to teach a child ideals you don't live by. If I lived in a place with no public transit or vegan food, I wouldn't reproduce. I wouldn't want to inflict that kind of environment on my child.
The point is that people wouldn't HAVE to be vegan or carefree if it weren't for the billionaires.
Imagine a kindergarten where every child has to start bringing their own crayons because the ones the teacher bought for everyone have all been broken or gone missing. Nearly all the students had been respectful of the crayons, with the exception of little Billy Dipshit, who likes to throw crayons on the ground and stomp on them. The teacher tried talking to Billy's parents, but the last one who did got fired because the Dipshit family gave a lot of money to the Superintendent and to the campaigns of the various school board members.
We are subsidizing the pollution of billionaires and corporations because our leaders are too afraid to regulate them.
Yes we would. We need net zero.
And when I say net zero, I don't mean "cut emissions by half and then buy carbon offsets", I mean we have to cease all fossil fuel usage, all animal agriculture, and then re-wild the land well enough to sequester the absolutely necessary emissions produced by our most crucial industrial processes.
No more gas cars. No more gas stoves. No more burping cows. Camping under the stars with a wood fire is cutting it fucking close.
The billionaires have already polluted enough that we may have passed the point of no return. I fucking hope we haven't, and I'm not going over the line because Joe Smith can't give up his fucking big macs. There are very few sacrifices, in terms of personal inconvenience or even loss of life, which are worth even a 1% chance of stopping climate collapse. If the Socialist Canadian Republic has given up our meat and the United States of Commiestan are still eating hamburgers, I would support an invasion to take away their meat. We can't afford any sacrifices.
It sounds like you're describing gross zero, not net zero.
Nonsense, we'll still emit carbon dioxide through unavoidable processes like breathing, which we'll need to offset through rewilding. What I'm describing is what "net zero" was coined to refer to.
I want to go negative and suck carbon out of the air to fix the damage we've done.
So you're describing net negative, not net zero?
I guess I am. I didn't bother drawing a distinction between the two because the difference is one atom.
Sorry if this is explaining something you've already heard, but net zero is a distinct concept that a significant percentage of humans agree with. Describing it as huddling around campfires might be counterproductive towards wider public support.
You've misunderstood. Huddling around campfires is wasteful and we shouldn't do it. We need solar panels, trains, and vegan food instead.
We can cut 25% of emissions with renewable electricity to replace fossil fuels. 28% by banning gas cars and airplanes except in emergencies. Maybe around 5-8% by banning animal agriculture. A few percentage points out of residential and industrial by banning onsite emission sources such as gas stoves. And maybe after all that effort we can get emissions down to 10% of what they presently are, but we might still need to radically rethink our industrial processes.
