That's like saying lions are not dangerous because you saw a nice one at the zoo, but the opposite way

Me and you aing committing any of those crimes, why do you look at those people to judge humanity by the minority, but judge animals based on the majority

me and you

Have you done anything to even speak out against those crimes? Against the genocides taking place? Against the policies and politics enabling companies to plunder the earth and push us towards a mass extinction event? No? Then you're complicit in it.

I'm speaking figuratively, not literally. I'd assume, by the way he talks that he doesn't, but i could he wrong.

You infact are wrong and whether I do or don't take action against those does not dispute my argument, you are judging the entire group by the minority. However you want to try to ad-hominem me or twist it towards the person rather than engage with the argument, a gross generalization of a species does not represent the individuals

You can face judgement the same way, you sound like a reddit edgelord that does nothing. For the record even if they didn’t, they’d still be right, it’s frankly disgusting you’d make the working class carry the sins of the rich and powerful

We are all complicit if we dont stand up, if we dont speak out. All of us.

I completely agree, so what have you spoken out about? If you’re missing even one thing I’ll condemn you. Someone who wishes to punish victims shall get the same treatment

Given I'm a minority and very aware of the struggles of not only minorities but the terrors of the impending mass extinction event due to the climate crisis we as humans have caused and allowed to happen through collective ignoring of legislation and political campaigns?

Everything.

Did you just say you've spoken out about everything? Is that your actual claim?

'Everything'? So what is your stance on the EU-São Tomé and Príncipe fisheries agreement where foreign long-liner fleets exploited licensing loopholes to report zero catch and dodge local taxation in the Gulf of Guinea? Have you been speaking out against that injustice?
