“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
You disagreed with someone just now. And you read a book so that you could tell them you read a book. Not to impart or distribute knowledge or actually argue back. You just showed them your merit badge and laughed at them for not having the same one as you. What's the point of reading books? What's the point of learning things?
Nah, I gave the general gist of the argument all over this post actually. I also gave some keywords for people to investigate similar actions in Sweden in 2019.
Sorry I’m cooking dinner and don’t have time to share my book report for people that don’t actually want to read anything about the topic.
If you’re interested in finding out more literally google the book title and read some reviews, or go dive into some of the book club threads from last month on this very website.
What else would you like me to do in order to pass your bar of “reading for vanity”?

Here’s a wild fucking idea! Maybe me telling someone to read a book isn’t actually me arguing with them but is instead, idk, recommending that they read the book that I’m mentioning!
Hilarious accusing me of :reddit-logo: but then instantly assuming mentioning that someone should read a book related to the topic at hand is engaging in an argument.
I’ve relayed a point over and over again. This action helped reduce SUV sales in Sweden in 2019, if you’d like to know more read last months book club selection “how to blow up a pipeline”.
Fuck. Never though I’d get this kind of reaction from recommending a fucking book to read.
Consider; the book you're telling people to read actually tells people to take action (violent revolutionary action at that!) and that's scary, rather than just rehashing 100+ year old history in an academic circlejerk
Truth. The reaction to this is really opening my eyes about this site honestly. The tiniest bit of coordinated climate action has half the people in this thread bringing up every possible argument they can think of to put it down.
I’ve been here since the beginning, and this is honestly just depressing.
same, same. been involved in leftism a lot longer tho and i gotta be honest: get used to this :doomer:
Yeah this is bullshit. You weren't approaching them with that energy. You were telling them they were wrong and that they should correct themselves by reading a book. I made my point here. If all you want to argue about is rewriting your intentions in the first place you should be editing your original comments instead of replying here.
Cool glad you were able to divine my energy through the internet. I’m disengaging with you. Hope you have an amazing rest of your day.

Yes you do seem like an expert on self-masturbatory posts.
