What I find most annoying these days is people who think they're entitled to whine "Waahh! My gas prices!" here on Mastodon of all places.

Let me remind you that owning a car has never been mandatory. I've never owned one. I walk or bike or use public transport. But even if you feel that you need a car, it's no longer 1972. If you're still driving a gas-powered car in 2026, it's entirely your own fault. Correct your mistakes or get used to their consequences.

#JustStopOil

The ironic activist. Cost is the greatest economic incentive.

Just in a few hours ago, Israel’s main refinery site has been bombed by Iran and this location also seems to be a center for their naval power.

I have to hand it to these guys. They are literally just stopping oil in its tracks.

They’ve managed a completely unsettled disassembly of the global supply chain!

I usually like the balance between activism and insight of @georgemonbiot.bsky.social , and this one is worth a read as well

We would also do well to remember that oil is not the only thing causing humans to produce violence.

#justStopOil all right, but don't expect world peace from that alone. We more work to do.
