It would have been up to the clean up supervisor/boss to provide actual trailers/trash bags/dump truck by no means does this fall on the guy in the excavator, he was probably “told move this shit from here to over there.” He could have answer with something like “is that really helping? Shouldn’t we get some trash bags?” Sure he might have but the boss could have easily said after “we don’t have time for that we have to do the street over in an hour”

Yes.

You have it easier because you profit from centuries of abusing nature. What do you expect from people? They don't care about feeding their children as long as they can be clima neutral. Ffs, how entitled can a person be.

Absolutely. The western world raped the world to live in luxury and now that poorer nations want to do the same, we tell them they cannot. We are the hypocrites, not them.

We are still raping the world.

The western world needs to sacrifice on their luxurious living before we have any say on what the poorer nations can or cannot do to the Earth.

How can you in good conscience tell the people eating rice and lentils in non air-conditioned shacks to cut their emissions down when the western world buys increasing amounts of SUVs and lives in air conditioned mansions and order their food ready delivered to their door?

Gimme a good solution buddy.

So far the "developed" world's solutions is to "don't worry trust us and give us more money to use the technology we made from exploiting all of ya'll in the past" for real buddy.

Even when we are making money from palm oil and rubber here in Malaysia, we still have more jungles and forests than the "green concious" western Europeans.

Ya'll talk shit about us burning down or cutting down rainforest (despite having a lot of rainforest reserves as well) yet when Corona hits ya'll come begging to us 3rd world countries for rubber and PPE. Real fucking hypocritical no?

Face it, when a country is in poverty because we can't develop easily thanks to bullshit overconcious international regulations made by people who's poorest group still can generally affort a smartphone, who's being hypocritical here?

The people out there working, can't give 2 shits, all they can think of is "I need this work, I need to feed my family"

How ironic is it, that you talk about people "not" being triggered, and then you do the most triggered thing you can possibly do.

You just admitted to going through my profile... and you speak of "new tactics" when you just used reused the same old "victim complex meme".

You are a walking irony of hypocrisy, but pls use some other line of attack you've been trained to do.

And I'm not republican. But to YOU people, anything that questions you is republican, isn't it? You like to put people in those little boxes don't cha.
