That tweet about the guy who photographs branded rubbish and tags the companies on social media is getting a surprising amount of criticism in my TL.
Apparently the buyers of takeaway coffees are all-powerful and must just be CHOOSING to have a plastic, non-recyclable, non-biodegradable cup for every drink. They're also choosing to have no recycling facilities for their used cups.
And it's also their fault for littering...because if you throw an item in the designated bin it just disappears from the Earth forever, problem solved!
But the huge food outlets who buy the plastic cups in the first place are blameless because they don't make them, they just buy them! So we should go after the manufacturers!
But also we should just do nothing, because "everybody" already knows about plastic waste and the problem hasn't been solved already, therefore any attempt to make anyone take any responsibility is useless.
Wow. Just wow.
@griffinkate this should get boosted back to the source...or whatever. The people participating in this discussion should see these words is my point.
@teslas_moustache There are already people engaging with these points in a less sarcastic way! I have engaged myself a bit.
@griffinkate one of my favorite lines is "This is not an Ayn Rand novel. Not everything is a fucking choice."
@teslas_moustache Ahahahaha!
@griffinkate liberal bootlicking scum are everywhere
@radikalgrafitio Urrgh, you're probably right.
