Harmageddon@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Hamburg: Climate activists let air out of tyres of 33 cars (mainly SUVs!) againEnglish5·2 years agoI’m not totally sure to be honest. I don’t have a good solution. People need to be pissed for protests to work. But let’s say you convince someone to sell their SUV and get a smaller car That SUV already exists. Probably will sell it to afford the next thing, right? Someone is still driving the thing. There’s a carbon cost to The replacement car. My understanding is it’s usually best to drive your vehicle for as long as possible (buying an electric car when your current car is fine is worse than just waiting until your current car breaks down, then eventually replacing it). Targeting your protests or energy toward policy change for future vehicle production might be more effective? Again, I don’t know.
The golf course one is interrupting a leisure activity, rather than stopping someone’s ability to go to work and provide for their family.
But if people came out to go to work and their car has the air let out of the tires, it’s going to feel more personally malicious I think, which seems like it could alienate people. Being stuck in traffic because of a protest, well, at least you’re stuck as a group?
It is a fine line, to be sure, I’m just not sure where to draw it.

I don’t think vandalization of personal property is going to win anyone over to support your cause. Protests need to be disruptive to be effective, yes, but I would wager this either alienates people trying to do better, or further radicalizes people actively working against green energy measures.

But I will say skipping the crafting, it loses something. The gradual increase in depth and pressure you can take is really satisfying.
I like turning off food and water needs though. That’s just tedious

Harmageddon@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Kyrsten Sinema Moves to Slash Pilot Training After Taking Airline CashEnglish3·2 years agoWell the other choice was Martha McSally. At the time, Sinema seemed like a progressive candidate. She’s been incredibly disappointing, but I still think she was better than the other choice.
It’s tiring and very frustrating that we are repeatedly faced with that kind of choice in this system, but we had an anti-LGBT, pro Trump, pro military spending option, or Sinema. I still think she was the better choice in the general election.

Harmageddon@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•I put together a guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy!English9·2 years agoI’m having a hard time figuring out how to subscribe to a community from another instance. I know I need a link to the community (not sure what this looks like as the one I thought I’d found didn’t work) and a search bar to paste it in, which I found once on jerboa I think but not again. Is there a more detailed guide for subscribing to another instance’s community?
Also it stops interest capitalization
