Everyone. I am very aware of that. But you can't expect the whole world to just change from the individual up - it isn't realistic, because the current state of our civilization requires it. Going around making people feel guilty about using a gas powered car is not helping anything, if anything it hurts the movement because we could come off as assholes, and then no one listens us. People have to like you if you are going to convince anyone of anything.
The only real, substantial thing we can do is get people to elect progressives at this point. That or start disrupting the actions of these companies in any way possible. Telling my parents not to go on vacation though? They'll think I've been brainwashed by AOC and go even further into their trench.
For the record though, I'm not trying to be angry - kudos to you for being conscientious of your impact on the environment and your passion for getting the word out about it.
I'm a white guy with a big nose and a solid beard, and I get "random" TSA security checks just about every time I fly. It's almost as if there is a reason for all this

Its definitely racism

It is pretty depressing, I agree. You can take heart however in knowing that collectively, we as people cannot do very much. The best thing we can do is elect politicians who will put pressure on the real villains here: the 100 or so corporations that make up 70% of the total Co2 emissions.
As part of the game you rescue these people hidden throughout the map that are encased in crystal. Some of them are part of a band. As you find more of them, their respective instruments get added to the soundtrack of the main city.
It all culminates into this beautiful orchestral ensemble that genuinely hits hard. Lol I'm thinking about replaying this again now for probably the 5th time.
All of these comments are completely off the rails. He informed us about one of the largest violations of privacy in the history of mankind. For that, he had to go on the run. He ended up in Russia, but not by choice.
If he wants to retire there and just keep his mouth shut, he should have our fucking blessing. The one thing he did was bigger than anything we could ever hope to accomplish lol.
So, I'm all for discouraging disinformation and propaganda. China is absolutely guilty of that, and there are a lot of shills out there who deny the Uyghur genocide, violence against Hong Kong, etc. Fuck them.
This article is just about technology though, so personally I think it is fine. This kind of tech will inevitably find it's way to other countries.
Anyway. To recap, if they are a CCP shill, ban them. If its just news about China, it should be fine.
Is this not newsworthy? At the very least, it seems pretty damn weird lol
