Red meat has a huge carbon footprint because cattle requires a large amount of land and water.

If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌

Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

    If you knew about her still being in the news, your statement about how you never hear about her anymore makes little sense.

    She’s not a teenager any longer, that was my point. It was fairly unusual for a 15 year old to be so outspoken and articulate about the problem, which is why she used to get a lot of coverage.

    Now she is just one young lady among millions who are outspoken about the issue, and the only thing that really distinguishes her from her peers is that she got famous for it at a young age.

    Almost all mainstream news in the US is right wing, and I was clearly speaking about why they don’t report on her as much now as they originally did.

    I’m sure that her anti capitalist stance has a lot to do with her not being in the news as much, nothing I said contradicts that.

    From the way you worded your original statement it seemed like you were saying that the reason you don’t hear from her now was because she wised up and stopped doing it, not that she realized capitalism was the problem and that caused the media to stop reporting on her.

    Now that I know what you meant it’s clear we are on the same side of the issue, so I’m not sure why you are insisting that I’m ‘completely wrong’ about it.

      “f you knew about her still being in the news, your statement about how you never hear about her anymore makes little sense.”
      I ment alternative news, not mainstream, that should be obvious. Where you also get real news about Palestine BTW.

      “Almost all mainstream news in the US is right wing”
      I don’t live in the banana republic, even there the right wing Dem party and lib media fully supported her.

      " it seemed like you were saying that the reason you don’t hear from her now was because she wised up and stopped doing it, not that she realized capitalism was the problem and that caused the media to stop reporting on her."
      This is literally my statement: " It has nothing to do with being a teenager but with her anti-capitalist stance "

      And it does contradict your “it’s bcs she’s a teenager now”.
      That is a totally different reason, which is not the cause of the media blackout.
      And again you repeat that claim, so I definitely must insist you are wrong, again.
      If not, we’re not on the same page.

        How would that be obvious when it was all over mainstream news?

        I don’t live in the banana republic, even there the right wing Dem party and lib media fully supported her.

        I don’t live in a “Banana Republic” either and I’m not sure that has anything to do with my claim about US News.

        This is literally my statement: " It has nothing to do with being a teenager but with her anti-capitalist stance "

        Yeah, I get that now that you have clarified. Did you expect me to divine the future to learn what you meant before I replied initially?

        And it does contradict your “it’s bcs she’s a teenager now”.

        Jesus fucking Christ. For the THIRD (3rd) time now, she is NOT a teenager any longer. She aged, just like everyone else did. Time continued to pass for her. She ‘grew up’. She is now 22 years old, which is NOT a teenager. Now that she is 22 years old, she is no longer considered a Teen. She was born in 2003. 2025-2003 = 22 years old. I’m not sure how much more plainly I can say the same thing.

        Do you normally have this hard of a time comprehending the English language?
