Yes, yes it is. With all the other shit going on you think plastics is the thing that’s gonna kill us? World war 3 is literally already starting and a pedophile rapist with fucking Alzheimer’s and a narcissism complex has the fucking nuclear football - but don’t worry, the other world war 3 players are fucking worse.
Sit back and have a laugh my friend 50/50 chance the world will be a fucking fireball in the next 2 years
I’m a ship. In front of me is a giant rock, past that there is another ship, finally the beach. I can run into each of them. The rock is more important because I’m gonna hit that first. Can’t make it any more clear
So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.
The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage
When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
This shit is why nothing EVER gets solved, spreading out resources to all the problems instead of solving the most important one first. Just like those in power like it.
You won’t solve microplastics while the people in power won’t do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isn’t going to affect them at all.
But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. I’m sure you’ll feel great about it when you are getting rounded up. Heaven forbid In this cosmic hellhole a few people found a tiny bit of joy with some googly eyes
In criminology, the broken windows theory states that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.[1]
You’ve pretty much exemplified this but with doomerism instead of crime. Just because things are turning to shit doesn’t mean we should encourage other problems that we know need tackled. There’s enough plastic around us, everywhere, all of the time, without encouraging people to go out and buy more to spread around.
Your clothes are likely plastic, your food is in plastic, your phone is plastic, your water bottle is likely plastic, almost every item of the modern world has plastic somewhere. Even if it doesn’t look like plastic, it could be plastic. It’s fucking disgusting.
This isn’t a shitpost, it’s an advert in disguise.
No I don’t. Look micro-plastics are bad, yea we all get that. But fucking read the room. We have way worse shit to worry about, this isn’t broken windows, this is watching billionaires fund far right politicians in every single “free” country so the can become the next queens and kings. This is watching innocent people get executed live on TV, it’s not isolated broken windows, the fucking neighborhood is burning and your the HOA president bitching about the lawn not being mowed.
Yay! Spreading plastic arbitrarily around the environment, what fun!
Just saw this right after this post:

Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.
Microplastics and environmental threats are just as big of a deal as ww3.

I feel really bad about my 6 3d printers now.
