"Rather than ceasing our shitf***ery, we tell you your only choice is to adapt to it"
Years on, @thejuicemedia's "Honest Government Ad," made after the Australia fires, remains a brilliant insight into the climate inaction of almost every country.
@luckytran @thejuicemedia Is there a way to save this ad to my phone? I would like to repost it to my Insta followers because it’s so incredibly brilliant. Please let me know!!
@jzed74 you can link to the youtube video https://youtu.be/6BmbvTvFQ3g
@jzed74 @luckytran @thejuicemedia On Firefox (desktop) you can download an add-on to save videos. You could then transfer it to phone, or if you've a network drive save it to and access it there.
@jzed74 @luckytran @thejuicemedia when I double click it to open it up full screen on my iPhone, I can click that arrow next to the title in the top center and it allows me to choose to save it to files or to photos (it saves as the video)
Really worth using up my precious bandwidth to view! Thanks.
@luckytran @thejuicemedia It starts with us. Use cell phones that you can use longer than 1-2 years, buy clothes at the local sewing, just so the shoes from the cobbler made of genuine leather. My first pair cost 1400€, the second 1200€ is worn day after day. Keep forever with good care.

This reminds me *so* much of Jacinda Ardern. If she said *exactly* the same things as a Nat PM, and did *exactly* the same amount of nothing much to back them up, the left would have condemned her just like we did Teflon John. But because she was a Labour PM, so many people just lapped it up and gushed about what a wonderful spokesmodel she was. Ick : /
@luckytran @thejuicemedia I can see where the "NBA" of the Utopia TV series gets its advertising inspiration from :D
@luckytran
Back when the climate broke
The burning and the fires' smoke
Gutted towns in holocaust
Fueled by fossils' burned exhaust
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To save the air
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to all
Let's get it back
How can we dance
With our congress churning
How do we sleep
While our earth is burning
Back when the climate broke
The glaciers melted, the sea awoke
The storms and tides wiped out the shores
And led us to the climate wars
@luckytran thanks for bringing to my attention that @thejuicemedia was on mastodon, hands down my favourite youtube channel
@luckytran @thejuicemedia
If only Australians rioted against bullshttery like the French.
@halcionandon @luckytran @thejuicemedia
If the French riots result in Marie Le Pen taking power will you still advocate for political violence?
Australia has changed its government and taken significant #ClimateAction since their terrible season of #BushFires
@GreenFire @halcionandon @luckytran @thejuicemedia not nearly fast enough, the Labor government is still approving new coal and gas projects.
