Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione's legal defense fund hits $1 million in donationsEnglish42·5 days agoI can’t help but think that many of the people who gave money are convinced he’s guilty, but think that the CEO deserved to be killed.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione's legal defense fund hits $1 million in donationsEnglish319·5 days agoI don’t understand why people are mobilizing for him. Maybe he will be found guilty of be wrongly acquitted, both possible case where this crowdfunding would be dirty money.

Merlu@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the most cynical corporations that currently exist?1·2 months agoAre you asking which CEOs are the most cynical?
Yeah, sort of
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Someone donated 30k to Luigi after yesterday's court appearanceEnglish128·3 months agoLol, it’s the Schrödinger’s guilt. The news is supposed to be uplifting both because the guy is praised as a hero for killing someone and because he is presumed not guilty.
Personally, i don’t have any sympathy for him, regardless he’s guilty or not, some things he said are really disgusting.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish14·3 months agoAt some point, defeatism is just realism, no matter the amout of hopium people try to sell to you.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish1·3 months agoSoil depletion, (micro)plastics in the water, biodiversity collapse, political instability, economical crisis, nuclear menace that is not a thing of the past anymore, sanitary crisis that will likely be worse than COVID, to name a few.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish38·3 months agoActually, it’s too late, because those in power are accelerating in the wrong direction and we are less and less able to prevent them to do so.
And even so, given the current state of the society, even the “best case scenario” will be enough to make it collapse.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish23·3 months agoPersonally, the “renewable” energies aren’t making me hopeful. Because they are absolutly not renewable, they can’t be build without pollution because of the materials you need. And even so, climate change is not even the worst of our existential threats, there are many more, but strangely, people are only talking about climate.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish31·3 months agoI don’t believe in the possibility of mass civil disobediance, especially in a context where most of people are either depolitized, either are voting massively for (wannabe) autocrats.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish6·3 months agoWe shoudn’t rely on carbon capture, the technology is still at an embryonary stage and will not be ready on time to have a significant impact. Nor on a nuclear winter, for obvious reasons.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish2·3 months agoActually, level of warming that could directly wipe humanity is technically possible, even the hopium dealers among climate scientists admit that (notably Michael E. Mann). But even if it doesn’t kill all of us directly, it will likely generate a domino effect for other existential threats.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Reminder that there's no "it's too late, its over" for climate changeEnglish23·3 months agoYour statement is extremely naive, because when a politician establish a rule, you are legally forced to follow it, and believe me, the authorities don’t care about the means to enforce the said rules if they don’t want to follow them. Resistance to Trump will lead to increased repression, you should not forget he is a known authoritarian. If you want to risk your freedom -if not your physical integrity- to set yourself above the law, good for you, but don’t incite people to do so.
I don’t see the connection with my post.
