the one thing I will never forgive infinity war for doing is killing all of thor’s character development from Ragnarok in less than two scenes lmao
first, there’s no sign of Thor’s powers that he learned to harness with Hela in the initial battle with Thanos. Like even if it wouldn’t do that much against Thanos they should have at least illustrated that, but instead they left him defenseless and made it so he had to get a even bigger weapon than his hammer. I mean, the whole point of Ragnarok was that he was he didn’t need his hammer to be Thor. That he was so much more than just a warrior with a fancy weapon. Secondly they gave him his eye back, which defeats its original intention as it was supposed to signify Thor taking over Odin’s place as allfather and accepting his responsibilities to his people. In this essay I will

A lot of people are really scared and angry because of the results of the newest climate change reports — as they should be. But I’m already seeing a lot of posts and news reports like “HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING” and bizarrely enough, the answers are never like “weed out climate change deniers from your government, impose strict new rules for the corporations that are creating most of the emissions, pour government resources into alternate forms of fuel, etc.” It’s always like “carpool to work!”
Look. Of course you should be working to reduce waste in your own life. But let’s not fucking pretend that consumers are the ones who made this mess. You know what another recent study found? Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. If the rest of us stopped ALL WASTE and fucking ascended to a higher plane of existence that no longer requires consumption of any kind, the world would still be absolutely fucked if those 100 companies keep on as they do.
I hate this personal responsibility model when it comes to conservation. By ignoring the actual source of the problem and focusing on individuals instead, guess who gets targeted? The absolute most vulnerable individuals on the planet. When people advocate personal responsibility, somehow they’re never talking about billionaires and their private jets. They’re creating straw bans that will make life more dangerous for people with disabilities. They’re shaming women for using disposable menstrual products. They’re criticizing the poor and destitute for using “wasteful” products because they’re all they can afford. They’re making vaguely eugenic statements about getting people in “third world countries” to stop ~breeding~ so much. It’s monstrous.
Stop shaming consumers for the sins of corporations and their powerful investors. Stop placing the blame at the feet of the people who already have the hardest time getting through life. Do something, and by “do something” I mean buy a reusable coffee cup on the way to fucking vote. Go to a protest. Call a representative. Demand accountability from the people who got us into this mess.
Vote. Demonstrate that we won’t tolerate climate denialism anymore.
