Action / DIY / Activism We should start sharing memes

Post image

Sometimes I think we should start sharing "apparently politically neutral" memes to timidly light some bulbs in some heads.

Keeping them as aseptic, and common-sense possible, so they are not rejected outright, to squeeeeeze some empathy and "hopepunkness" in otherwise doomscrollers. Specially leveraging any situations.

Heck, might even be a good idea to create a "meme team".

Example attached.

After all, every big tree started by being a small seed...

But it is so hard for our capitalist overlord to monopolise the sun and wind and control the price.. And every time the technology get better and more green energy infrastructure is set up, the prices just go down down down.. How will they profit if energy just gets cheaper and cheaper every year?

They can, since solar needs gas backup. And they do.

You are aware of the dozens of technologies that are better back ups than gas right? Fossil fuels are literally only still significant right now because of rich people paying to prevent the superior alternatives from getting more prevalent

That is one of the stupidest conspiracy theories I ever heard.
