As for me:
Due to Christmas rapidly approaching my place earns increasing amounts of money.
It would be so easy to just snag a whole day of store income and forever vanish into another country.

I’ve been struggling with the opinion for many years now that blowing up oil infrastructure is not only morally sound, but not doing it is a moral failure.
I’m not the right kind of person to get out there and do it myself, but you aren’t going to catch me condemning someone who does.
buy a drone, it’s a fun hobby
Don’t say that on social media. If you’re gonna do that, just do it. Climate activists have done it before and it’s most certainly more effective than the majority of climate activism I see.
I understand the dangers of climate change and pollution and I fully support moving away from oil as an energy source. But I’m genuinely curious about how you see destroying oil infrastructure playing out.
There have been groups doing this for quite a while in many detrimental industries. There was a documentary a while back about one of them (earth liberation front) that eventually got caught. They did extensive work to ensure workers at those facilities weren’t injured and it was just property destruction.
I have to think if enough property was destroyed the owners would run out of money and investors to build more
Sure, but we are a long way from not being dependent on oil even by the most aggressive timelines. Destroying a significant amount of oil infrastructure while we still use it would cripple supply chains, transportation, etc and we wouldn’t be able to move to renewable sources as quickly because there would be significantly fewer resources available.
Like I said, I’m fully supportive of moving away from oil because I know how damaging it is. But I just don’t see a realistic way to get rid of oil that quickly.
Yeah I mean you are right. I guess I am getting impatient waiting for society to decide this is a big enough problem to need to address it, and crippling the oil industry, while having a LOT of other negative ramifications, would essentially force people to use less oil and find alternatives/do without immediately. Ideally that wouldn’t be a necessary intermediate step to progress but it feels like no progress for so long it starts sounding appealing to force the issue
