His idea is : As long as i and my rich friends live comfortably, fuck the next generation.

This is easily understandable even without cynicism

If one acknowledge a problem and feel 6 of 10 proposed solutions aren't worth the cost, they've opposed a majority of solutions

"Climate change is real, and it's a good thing. I hate winter" - him, probably

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Never forget that a moron Republican senator brought a handful of snow onto the Congress floor to prove climate change was a hoax!

If the GOP senators are this moronic... Just imagine the idiots voting for them.... shudder

[–] objectionist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

remember: climate change ain't just not fake, it also makes summers fucking unbearable and average winters a likely cause of frostbite! hooray!

we're all gonna die of our own stupidity in the next couple centuries... lest we do anything about it

It's likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents--and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The sick thing is most donors have so much hoarded wealth their entire lineage will never spend it l... But it's worth letting the earth burn to accumulate more.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta die with the highest score.

The reasoning is: money good. Polluters give me money. I am the polluters bitch.

What's so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person's perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying "this is fine"

[–] DrQuint@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.

Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it's exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That's nasty and almost outrageous. Meat shouldn't be overcooked!

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I agree. I'm actually hoping for human extinction. We're a cancer on the earth. If bees went extinct, the natural world would collapse. If ants went extinct, again, the natural world would collapse. If humans went extinct? Well, not much would happen except that the natural world would achieve equilibrium again.

[–] bigwag1@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

To live is to suffer. Study. You're almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.

[–] Railison@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I mean, at one level it’s more logically valid to say we shouldn’t bother doing anything to ~compare~ combat climate change than saying climate change doesn’t exist.

It’s a weird level though.

[–] ddkman@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, they never said that. Saying that efforts right now are awfully misguided and completely incompetent efforts to sell even more product, and increase consuption EVEN more, such as EV-s and so on, is not climate change denial...

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Is the title a EU 4 reference?

[–] andyMFK@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's a reference to the movie Don't Look Up. Not sure what EU is.

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Not sure what EU is.

EU 4 = Europa Universalis 4, a strategy game about 1444-1821. The poster above is likely referring to this in-game event:

All the options for this event yield the same negative result, and the devs often add new ones (as a joke). And "there is no comet, please don't look up!" does sound like the sort of stuff that those options say.

[–] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Europa Universalis IV, a grand strategy game by Paradox. Haven't played it though, so idk the reference

[–] TehPers@beehaw.org -1 points 1 year ago

EU is the European Union, a group of countries in Europe that share common laws with each other.

“Sure I have cognitive disconnect. I just don’t care though.”

[–] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

GOP is consistently contradictory. So are most dictators and their parties. This fits.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

if global warming is real, why come it still gets cold?

[–] bigwag1@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

If politicians lie, why come we still vote?

[–] insomniac_lemon@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stage 2 of the four stage strategy.

Or perhaps even stage 3 but somehow even more detached.
