Not everything needs to be written out like you wrote for it to be understood for people who can read into context. It literally says “The government wants us to get this right” that is the crux of the message here. Nowhere in the meme does it say not to recycle or that recycling is bad, the juxtaposition is that no one is telling Meta to do anything but they are telling people to sort trash. At least part of your handle is apt.
I’m well aware. Unfortunately as ineffective as it is I’m not a practitioner of violence. I’m not going to take the life of another human being even if they deserve it
I’m aware. I’m aware violence is more effective as a net result. Yet still stuck with the inability to do it, just like every person on here who espouses violence without action
I was about to say thanks for the free ableism, but you did edit that out, so kudos, I guess.
Anyway, I dont see those two messages as being hypocritical because these are two separate issues. The main benefit of residential waste diversion is to extend the life of landfills – the climate benefits are secondary. Even if someone is a climate change denier, they should want waste sorting because landfills are expensive and their taxes would go up to build new ones.
The government asking you to sort your waste isnt an example of them failing to tackle the main actors of climate change. It’s cities trying to mitigate a separate issue.
Most green bin programs are run by municipal governments. Big polluters are typically regulated by state/provincial governments or federal governments.
I wanted to make that point too, but since the discourse is currently at the “I like pancakes. So you hate waffles?” stage, I didn’t think we were ready to get into separation of responsibilities lol
I interpret the meme as “theres no point doing this right because big corps aren’t expected to do anything right”. Either way i think there was a better way to get the message across.

It absolutely and explicitly implies that recycling isn’t worth bothering with because companies will fuck shit up anyways
Recycling is necessary and putting band aids on your ouchy papercuts doesnt help shit while you have a cannonball exit wound in your chest.
When the billionaire class is dead and gone, it will matter.
Until then its onanistic victim blaming and I take offense.
Being in practice can only help. There is no downside to it
Sure, go nuts. But cardio and marksmanship would do more for the environment, if that’s really what you care about.

Trolley problem, babe. Just with a lot more zeroes on one side.
