          Which would be understandable if it wasn’t obvious he’s being serious.

          I’m pretty sure the “lmao” at the end of the tweet is a pretty big context clue that he’s being facetious.

          Do you know Kenny Lì personally? Have you asked their opinion yourself, or are you making an assumption based on a dozen facetious words?

      I’ll stop treating it like a joke the second anyone in charge does.

      Until then I’m going to play the jester to bring some levity to this situation.

        In some cases, comedy is how you reach people and get them to seriously consider an issue. Jest on, my friend!

      that’s the only way a lot of us can cope with the fact our planet is dying and nobody is doing anything about it. Not going to live my days in despair, might as well laugh at my own misery

          oh yeah let me overthrow the government to finally put restrictions on the corporations that dump all their waste into the oceans real quick

          i as an individual have such minuscule control over the situation it’s statistically negligible

          and those who actually try are ignored, to the point their activism doesn’t even get media coverage, environmental activism was loud for a few years and now they’ve been pushed back to obscurity because people got bored of hearing the same old song and dance every other week

          the world is dying and there is nothing i can do, so i’m going to laugh at it until we all go down in the climate wars or until (by some miracle) someone with the power to improve the world stops having wet dreams about next quarterly profit reports and has a long think about the world they’re leaving for their children

            Yeah, you’re one of the problematic ones I was talking about all right.

            I’m not the one you’re gonna have to answer to. Your children are, and if that’s the way you’re going to talk to them about it then you’ll deserve every moment you will suffer in a nursing home.

              sure because i’m personally to blamed for what the mega corps are doing. i’m the chosen one who refused to stop them. and also this particular personal coping mechanism is my only characteristic or defining trait lmao.

              Besides, even if i get to achieve financial stability i’m not bringing children into this world, not for them to suffer the consequences of what their grandfathers are doing for the sake of profit right now. And god imagine getting to retire, i’ll be lucky to land in a nursing home and not work until i die.

              go ahead mate, fight the world that’s trying to crush your spirit. i sure tried, and got my spirit crushed. best i can do is laugh about it

                Yep, keep talking. Keep sticking your fingers in your ear and screaming la la la as if that will absolve you from anything. Keep pretending you can stick your head in the sabd and avoid the very real culpability you have in this mess that we all do. I’m sure that will quell the guilt you have that made you waste time responding to me several days later.

                  what guilt? over what exactly? you think you’re talking to me from some higher intellectual standpoint but your only responses are ad hominem and trying to guilt trip me. guilt trip me over a vague “this mess that we all do” as well.

                  you present no arguments, give no alternatives, show no solutions. just insults to my character and no actual points.

                  i didn’t respond out of some guilt you seem to be imagining i have, i responded to have a conversation about the subject, instead you have attacked me personally without even explaining your standpoint as to why you think i’m such a “problematic” person.

                  you know i came here looking to talk about something we didn’t agree on with mutual respect, but judging by the fact you’ve made no arguments & just keep insulting me - yeah turns out my time has been indeed wasted, disappointing.

                  pro tip for the futre - don’t try to psychoanalyse people online, you don’t know shit about them

                    The guilt drips from you like the hydrogenated vegetable oil that leaks from your sweat pores.

                    And you’re angry, so angry that you are being reminded of your cowardice and inaction and being held accountable for it, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, so you lash out. Like you worthless knuckledraggers always do.

                    Get over it, spanky. Your refusal to take responsibility for the decline of your country means YOU and only YOU are responsible for the impending fascism that will kill millions of your countrymen, including your loved ones. Your refusal to take responsibility means YOU and only YOU are responsible for the destruction of the planet from climate collapse. And YOU and only YOU are the one who’s going to suffer from your anger. I am not going to be affected in the slightest by your anger or your outbursts or your temper tantrums. You can’t affect me that way. Anger is a poison you swallow hoping to kill your enemy, and you chugged that shit.

                    Only one who’s going to suffer is you.
