Even though I understood what you meant and think you mean well, I have to say that I hate this word. Terrorism refer to “mass killing innocent civilians” to terrorise everyone. Those referred to by that word are not killing anyone, they are merely destroying inanimate objects or blocking roads… Nobody is terrorised by them, nobody fear for their life after their actions. We should call them “ecoactivists”, or something like that.
Also: stop using airplanes
My employer, employing 90 people, a lot of which are in their 20s and 30s, has decided to organise the yearly seminar event in a place where most of the company needs to board a plane to go. I immediately said I wouldn’t go if I needed to take a plane, I was not the only one to say it. The company offered to reimburse any alternative journey (train+boat) which is a bit more expensive, but way way longer (14h transport vs 3h on plane, not taking into account the time in between train and ferry: I’ll be traveling for more than 24h in total between start and end, and same for the return journey). I said I’d do it, the others that spoke out: not so much, they are either not coming or taking the plane… In the end I think I will be the only one, we’ll see.
I understand your feeling regarding our small action being useless, I feel the same.
What I try to tell myself to keep doing it is: If most of everyone would do it, that fart in the wind would be loud enough to make politician realise they have to take it into account and pass legislation aligned with that.
Deep down though, I know we’ll never be enough to do it for it to have an impact
It already was the metal concert of the decade, now with his passing just weeks after, this will be remembered as a once in a century event in the metal world, how I wish I could have been there !
I was looking at his wiki page a few hours ago, and he was still alive, crazy timing
To be fair, we are celebrating whoever did what Luigi is accused of as a hero.
Mate… This post is about a funny meme about word pronunciation. There is no need to bring us politics here (or any other nation politics for that matter). There are other places you can go to to talk about it.
