30 Environmental Memes That People Who Are Sick Of Capitalism Destroying The Planet Can Relate To, As Shared On This Page

The real question here is how would Pepsi even find out the farmers were growing the same kind of potato?

Pisses me off to no end, Monsanto does the same thing

This is actually really sad. Potatoes are a staple food for many farmers. I suppose Pepsi think they are going to create off brand Lay's???

I think the wet dream of "modern" capitalists is to fully recover (or even beat) the level of inequality, injustice and impunity their predecessors enjoyed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Of course, that requires to put a definitive end to all claims about democracy and other old-fashioned ideas, but it seems they're working on it pretty well.

How the heck can you even make a potato proprietary? They're grown from "eyes", not seeds. Anyone can cut up a potato and plant the eyes, and how the heck do they even know it's the same kind?

I hate every winter when it's below freezing in Ohio and people start with "Where's global warming?🙄 Never mind that the city snow plows are constantly spotted plowing snowless roads to make money because we aren't getting snow like we used to. My flowers bloom into November now and start coming back up in February.

And when there is a freaking heatwave or flood they'll say sometjing like "oh that's normal this time of year, it also happened once before in 1947"

Remember the ice age? Before cars? Sun spots!

Yes!!

You will be underwater soon

Unequal distribution is terrible, but that doesn't mean that overpopulation isn't a problem too. I mean it's self-evident that humanity's total impact on the planet = average impact per person x population. So reducing either would help. And if we want to deal with global inequality by 'levelling up' poorer countries, rather than by reducing wealth in richer countries, then that overpopulation problem is going to become impossible to ignore

The Earth can't realistically support either of these things.

Sigh....There are too many things wrong with this post. Where to begin?! Overpopulation is the biggest issue. One of the most impactful things you can personally do to curb slow climate change is have less children.

Unequal distribution i snot the only issue. Some of the studies forget that a lot of thsoe grains/foods are grown for... livestock. Soyou'd have to stop feeding livestock to feed the world. And, yes, we are past sustainability. WATER, people. WATER...

Yes... But theft is bad, so no.

Recycling is a concept that was created by corporations to shift the burden of environmental protection from them to the consumer. It's well described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koqNm_TgOZk

Branson had a good idea though, he used a plane to gain altitude in the first stage rather than having a rocket for that

Also, the Bezos rocket burns hydrogen. It makes only water.

Who cares!?!? Let them do what they want!

Especially unfettered capitalism. All of the western/northern European nations are capitalist societies and they've done more than the US.

Not just an obstacle for research, but how can we have infinite economic growth on a planet with a finite number of resources. And capitalism also seeks to cut corners to gain maximum profits, which usually means harming the environment

Communism and socialism don't work. Capitalism isn't perfect, so there should be a way to balance both to a point where it works

UPVOOOOOOOOOOOOTE

Capitalism is never the problem.

The first indicators were over a century ago, but $$$$ buys a lot of silence. And a lot of propaganda. Oddly, you can't eat or drink propaganda...

If people even try to stop it, it's lobbyist time. F**k rich people

Idk if it’s irony, meta or just a giant f you that this is right after #5 which states plainly capitalism is to blame but now thus bored panda is even more depressed.

It's not just the fossil fuel industry. Philip-Morris had a big part in spreading propaganda that climate change was not real. But nobody ever wants to hear about that. (I learned about that whole tragedy when they were forced to release their internal documents. Found the actual copy of the document online.) Stephen Malloy was the main guy. The end result of his actions might be a number of deaths magnitudes larger than Hitler. And nobody wants to know about it. So, I'll make this comment, but won't bother giving details of this.

Remember the ice age when half of north America was under ice? You know, before cars? Do you think that the sun might have something to do with it? Or the fact that volcanos pump more CO2 into the air every year than all history of mankind? Stop listening to the mainstream media and people that profit from the climate hysteria!
