Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is absolutely a dog shit example of math, but in no way is anyone involved at all employing capitalist understandings of anything.

This entire study is a fiction designed to point the finger at a small subset of people.

Okay so you rather think they were doing it on purpose than doing from ideology. I have a bit more regard for people I guess

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they're arguing entirely from ideology, but that the ideology is not at all "pro capital"

[–] nicetomeetyouIMVEGAN@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a mischaracterization of what it means to argue from ideology. They only have to accept the idea that ownership of the means of production means ownership of the pollution from the means of production.

Which is a. Very common and b. The only explanation through which this research makes sense without attributing malice.

The research is just bad science and sought from the start to attribute climate change to as few people as possible.

"Scientists say it's your average joe driving to work who is killing the world" doesn't sell.
