I know a few people who use it/its pronouns. While I agree that treating animals with respect is a good thing, it pronouns are not necessarily a sign of disrespect or objectification.
Everything that you mention here as driving forces of climate change are more the fault of the ruling class at that time than boomers as a generation. What wealth everyday boomers had was more than what we had today, however the ultra-wealthy had significantly more ability to drive policy decisions than most boomers put together and they made the calls that structured the world with the climate-destroying system it has.
Also the ruling elites are the ones who took that generational wealth from this generation by their decisions as rulers. I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to blame boomers for what has happened to the planet.
Your rage is reasonable. We are living on the verge of a planet spiraling into chaos. I would just encourage you to place the blame where it really lies: ultra-wealthy ruling elites who are and have been running the planet into the ground while stealing all our time and money.
Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.
As much as it would be amazing to move everyone over, reddit communities represent years of cultivation and community organizing. Trying to rebuild that again isn’t an easy task, and it shouldn’t have to be done at all. This site should belong to the people who put in all the unpaid volunteer hours, not money-grubbing shareholders and CEOs. I can see why some people are so reluctant to abandon the community efforts they have worked diligently on for years. That being said I hope they all decide to ditch reddit and come over here as well.
