In “Overshoot,” you write this about the very wealthy: “There is no escaping the conclusion that the worst mass killers in this rapidly warming world are the billionaires, merely by dint of their lifestyles.” That doesn’t feel like a bathetic overstatement when we live in a world of terrorist violence and Putin turning Ukraine into a charnel house? Why is that a useful way of framing the problem? Precisely for the reason I tried to outline previously, which is that spewing CO2 into the atmosphere at an excessive scale — and when it comes to luxury emissions, it is completely excessive — is an act that leads to the death of people. We live in representative democracies where certain liberties are respected. We vote for the policies and the people we want to represent us. And if we don’t get the things we want, it doesn’t give us license to then say, “We’re now engaging in destructive behavior.” Right? Either we’re against political violence or not. We can’t say we’re for it when it’s something we care about and against it when it’s something we think is wrong. Of course we can. Why not? That is moral hypocrisy. I disagree. Why? The idea that if you object to your enemy’s use of a method, you therefore also have to reject your own use of this method would lead to absurd conclusions. The far right is very good at running electoral campaigns. Should we thereby conclude that we shouldn’t run electoral campaigns? This goes for political violence too, unless you’re a pacifist and you reject every form of political violence — that’s a reasonably coherent philosophical position. Slavery was a system of violence. The Haitian revolution was the violent overthrow of that system. It is never the case that you defeat an enemy by renouncing every kind of method that enemy is using.

sabotage chapter 1 part 1 (tell me your thoughts!

masterlist | next

transcript under the cut for clarity

Ladybug and Chat Noir: Pound it!

LB: 10 minutes. I think thats a new record!

CN: All thanks to the AMAZING ladybug.

LB: I couldn't do it without my partner, though!

CN: Speaking of partners...do you remember how you told your best friend that you're ladybug?

LB: You know at first I said it was really risky but it's really helped me out. You can tell someone too, remember? I assumed you already did.

CN: I never did, actually. I always thought the person I fell in love with would know. BUT my civilian identity is hard to date. So I haven't really met anyone who's fully stuck--which is why I had a BRILLIANT idea. I'll date people as my HERO persona.

LB: Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean your civilian identity is "hard to date"? Aren't you a total casanova?

CN: I think you mean...cat-sanova. Heh.

LB: oh my god.

CN: I guess you could say I'm sooort of in the public eye?

LB: Like...famous?

CN: Well...

LB: Chat. On a scale of one to ten, 1 being some averaje joe and ten being darling of Paris, Adrien Agreste.

CN: [nervously] Uh...seven?

LB: Oh, so pretty famous, huh. Well, I trust you, minou. Just don;t do anything stupid and make me look bad. Anyways, it's kind of a good idea.

CN: Really?

LB: Yeah.

Later, at home.

Marinette: Alya. Chat just had the WORST idea I've ever heard. And GUESS WHAT--

OKAY BYE HOPE U ENJOYED :D

thinking about the star trek beastie boys paradox. the use of the hit song sabotage by the beastie boys in star trek (2009) raises many questions that go completely unanswered in the rest of the series. since the song is part of the scene and is being not only heard but intentionally played by captain kirk, this means that sabotage exists in the star trek universe. if this song exists, it implies that the remainder of the band’s discography also exists. but the issue here is that in several beastie boys songs, they directly reference star trek and its characters. examples include in intergalactic, where they mention “a pinch on the neck from mr spock”, or in the brouhaha, where they say “this is bones mccoy on a line to sulu.” the fact that captain kirk himself is listening to the beastie boys in this film and again, to one of their lesser known songs (a REMIX of body movin ON VINYL) in the sequel, gives the viewer an idea that he’s a pretty big fan of their music. does kirk simply not notice the fact that they’re literally talking about his friends and coworkers? they literally say HIS name in b boy bouillabaisse: stop that train. or am i meant to believe that he’s conveniently not heard some of their most popular music? intergalactic is their third top song on spotify. there’s no way he hasn’t heard it. is he just really really oblivious? or are the beastie boys just some sort of prophetic gods in this universe? director jj abrams, i applaud your music choices but by making the beastie boys canon in star trek you have opened up a whole can of worms and i don’t intend on letting you rest until you solve this mystery for me. WHAT IS THE TRUTH!
