“we’ve waited too long to open the aperture on the solution sets in terms of what we need, as a society, to start reducing emissions,” Woods told Fortune
Archived copies of the article: ghostarchive.org web.archive.org archive.today
Is it playing devil’s advocate to say that criticism should at least be true?
How many statements out of the mouths of oil execs have been ‘true’ in the last 50 years, hm?
If they can weaponize dishonesty and factor in the asymmetrical nature of bullshit vs truth (it takes little effort to say bullshit, it takes massive effort to correct bullshit), then every time we take the high road, all we are doing is making our fight harder on ourselves.
And we don’t have the people or resources that billionaire CEOs do.
You really don’t need to defend billionaires, unless you enjoy being a class traitor.
What the fuck, what kind of bullshit is this? This is not how a sane discourse works. This is the worst case of ad-hominem/strawman I’ve seen in a while.
“Yes, OP, you’re right that the CEO didn’t say that. But do we need the truth prevailing here? He’s a CEO!!! Why are you defending him?!”
What a load of bullshit.
Fuck CEOs, Fuck Billionaires, I wouldn’t piss on one to put out a fire.
I’m done playing fair, I’m done spending 3 hours making well-cited thoughtful responses just to have it make no difference other than inviting 20 other bored internet randos to show off their wikipedia degree for attention.
I definitely just ignore or block “durr prove it” types.
Nah I’m not going to waste my time and energy compiling sources and whatnot just for some asshole to go “nuh uh fake news LuLuLuLuLuLz”
Awh I’ve never been called a class traitor or a corporate boot licker before 😂 good to know that we’re willing to throw the truth under the bus, I always thought that being better than our enemies was the way but I see now that petty things like the truth are the real enemy. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Pay no attention to that troll, friend. I’m all for makeing CEOs/billionaires accountable. But what you did was good, and you don’t need to explain yourself to a troll.
Being better than our enemies is what got us into this world economic catastrophe to begin with.
Look up the asymmetry of bullshit, it is literally a losing tactic to waste energy.
The rancid opposition makes a single soundbite sentence that riles the base, we spend 2 days carefully detailing why that single soundbite is wrong and harmful to the discourse, and by that time they’ve made seven new soundbites to debunk.
THEY know this, THEY WEAPONIZE THIS. So its time we stop pretending humans are rational, thoughtful beings and accept the fact that unless we want the same decades of failure for the future, we need to radically change our tactics.
Fuck CEOs, billionaires shouldn’t exist and I don’t care what needs to be said or done to make this happen.
Just shut the fuck up. That’s not even the point. OP was simply clarifying what the article said, without outside editorializing.
I am in favor of making CEOs accountable, but all you’re doing is staining the cause with an irrelevant conversation. Wait… is that your goal? Are you a fucking Russian disinformation agent or something?
Go back to reddit.
You shut the fuck up and while you’re at it shut your whore mother the fuck up too because I am tired of her booty calling me at 2am.
BILLIONAIRES SHOULD NOT EXIST.
Hahahaha, go back to reddit, troll.
Well you’re doing a fantastic job of making yourself look stupid, I don’t know if it will help whichever side you actually favor but top marks anyway.
