Remember when people lost it because disabled people wouldn’t be able to drink again and then they all died of dehydration after these draconian straw laws severely impacted my day
I remember when disability rights groups pointed out that these laws were placing extra burden on disabled people that weren’t being put on everyone else.
These laws accomplish nothing except make liberals feel good that they actually passed some kind of environmental rules. Meanwhile, conservatives are making sure they can legally torture gay kids, let billionaires get away with pedophilia, and burn lots and lots of coal. But we passed straw bans in a couple of cities. Yay us.
Yes, and they surround themselves with enough menial nothing-problems to convince you they’re too busy to focus on frivolous things like “human rights” and “the fascist problem.”
This does not convince me that we should redirect all effort away from environmental legislation. In my view human rights are very much intertwined with environmental stewardship.
I agree. So why are we stagnating between fascism and neoliberalism? Neither of those are stewards of either human rights, nor environmentalism. One of the two works very hard to convince you otherwise while stuffing their pockets full of petroldollars.
Well yeah, their base keeps alienating themselves from their own party and not voting for anything outside of clicking with each other in parks.
Modern leftist are historically one of the most ineffective head up their own ass groups that ever existed.
Anyone remember that time they convinced millions to stand in a street. Nothing came of it. But they did it. They are so proud they did it. Good times. Maybe they’ll do it again in a year or two. That’s what progress is all about
This would be a type of peaceful protest. Doesn’t mean it’s the most effective or useful form of peaceful protests. A 100 year old unchanged protest isn’t really effecting in modern times. Maybe before television was a thing.
I mean it would actually impact my ability to hydrate certain patients under certain circumstances if there really ever 0 plastic straws anywhere ever.

You know that governments can focus on multiple problems at once, right?

I dare them to try it. Even just one would be nice.
You know that US liberals have shitty success stories about anything anywhere in the last two decades, right?
That doesn’t have any relevance to my point.
Sure it does. If government can focus on more than one thing, but there are limited success stories, what does that tell us?

Right, so you also don’t know how peaceful protest works as a strategy.
The color red stops cars.

Just hang their drink on the IV pole, spike it with a line, and put the other end in their mouth!
