  • Yeah beef being a magnitude order bigger issue is just wrong https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/26/flying-shame-the-scandalous-rise-of-private-jets

    The highest thing on the chart is beef which is 99kg of emmissions per kilogram of beef, to make up for 1 hour of a single private flight it would require about 20 kilograms (44lbs) of beef. Now throw in the fact that there are thousands of these flights going through multiple hours of the day and hey you can see what is the way larger problem paticularly due to the fact that these flights aren’t benefitting anyone where as the beef actually feeds people.

    But im curious why is it more important for you that billions of people immediately change in the way you view as better (so many peoples entire livelyhood is invested in the beef industry paticularly because there are so many byproducts that are also useful, leather, bonemarrow, glue ect.) rather then the few hundred thousand making a small change that barely effects them at all (this change is only billonaires learning to take public planes like the rest of us)?








  • So when looking at the charges the claim is that the individuals have been part of a criminal organization since George floyd was killed by the police.

    In order for this to be the case all individuals would need to of had a meeting before george floyd was killed where they planned out the crime, then afterwards one member would need to take an action to commit the crime. A good way ive seen it explained is : I and two others plan to rob a bank, we can talk about how its done, the materials we need, and what everyone will be doing now this is all legal and nothing can be done until someone purchases the materials or enacts on a part of the plan as when that happens it becomes a criminal conspiracy.

    Big issue. These people don’t know eachother. Now this could mean that someone brought them into a conspiracy unknowingly but that would require knowing atleast one member of the original conspiracy or there would be links between people who were brought in to those who started the conspiracy that however from my knowledge the people being charged here are simply everyone arrested for peacefully protesting Cop City (trespassing, and property damage are commonly used to unlawfully arrest those who peacefully protest as its easy to claim that it happened and hard to prove that it didn’t)

    Reason that it could be politically motivated. Building Cop city is an extremely unpopular decision that fully ignores the promise made to the community its in which was to make the area a park. The governor has made it a terroristic action to question or protest the park in any way which has led to the arrests made for domestic terrorism (it essentially boils down to kemp declared “stop cop city” a terrorist organization, anyone who protests cop city is then labeled as part of that group as the only defining characteristic of the group is protesting cop city.)

    This is what i know from the top of my head so apologies if there is anything incorrect.
