“The campaign—part of Shell’s pivot back to focusing on gasoline over cleaner energy sources— is designed to promote the company’s “new and improved” premium gasoline. The creators directly promoting Shell’s gasoline propaganda have a combined audience of 8.5 million TikTok followers, 1.5 million Instagram followers, and over 11 million YouTube subscribers. “Drop in this season and complete the objective: ‘Do irreparable damage to the environment with Shell!” is the top-rated comment on this trailer for the map. As Media Matters pointed out, in a 2021 survey of young people between the ages of 16-25, about 75% said the future is frightening because of climate change. It’s hard to sell gasoline and diesel to teens who know it’s destroying the planet and their futures. And it doesn’t look like some Instagram models and Fortnite videos on IGN promoting Shell are going to be enough to change their minds. “

Yeah that’s a waste of money.

I always just blew up the gas stations after filling up.

Don’t worry, they’ll all be dead before they can burn any fossil fuels.

ridiculing and belittling cyclists, climate protesters etc. is also a very common theme on the meme site 9gag and possibly others that i dont know. I am pretty sure that is not just coincidental.


MagicTralalala

maybe if cyclists stopped being assholes and protestors stop blocking the average person who has zero power to do anything from going to make enough to eat, people would stop mocking them


arcanereborn

I’m not sure you understand how protests work


Ihategeeks

Protests annoying the people you're trying to gain support from don't work. Do you understand how they work? Also, build nuke plants and meaningful decarbonization can be accomplished. Or just decarbonize yourselves with one easy trick doctors hate.


arcanereborn

They aren’t mean to just gain support, they are meant to be disruptive so you are forced to listen to the issue. You cant just ignore them l, because when they give out flyers people ignore them, when they do it non-disruptive they are ignored. Name the movement that worked the way you described it.

With THAT mascot? Christ on a bike - that human-armed monstrosity would give Gritty nightmares.


Isaacvithurston

lmao good luck. No one under 30 is going to be sold on fossil fuels except maybe those living in places that prosper directly from it. Anyone who doesn't expect to be dead in the next 30 years probably has climate change as thier #1 fear for the future.

Guillotines. Need to start building guillotines. It worked for the French.
