    • Who isn’t aware?

    Like half of the world is in denial.

    How would you spread awareness that translates to action?

      Denial is not lack of awareness.

      I don’t know exactly how I would spread awareness, but I know exactly how I wouldn’t: Making people think I damaged a beloved ancient monument during a religious festival… a religious festival, as someone else pointed out, for people who venerate nature.

      How about, as an idea, paint bombing Shell Oil headquarters?

            Like everyone else, I’ll follow you. I’m not a leader, I just sit here and complain. Like everyone else.

              So you asked me for a solution, came up with a different solution, and now you expect me to implement the one that you came up with?

              Because that is not a rational train of thought. I hope you realize that.

                No. I was coming up with my own solution, because yours is like tickling Goliath with a feather. I was not expecting you to do anything.

                That’s how a back and forth conversation works. I hope you realize that.

                  I was not expecting you to do anything.

                  Your words:

                  Like everyone else, I’ll follow you.

                  You literally told everyone else to follow me into the murder spree when I asked why you haven’t started it.

                  What a silly lie.

                  And, again, I said at the beginning that I didn’t know what the solution was, just that this was not a good one. I just came up with something on the fly because you asked.

                  Have you ever pissed someone off into getting your way? Have you ever heard of anyone pissing people off into getting their way? I haven’t. Which is why I said this was a bad idea.
