    Yes their goal was to destroy the planet, that was their reason for mining oil or doing business at all. What a shrewd observation you have made.

      They knew what they were doing would destroy the planet.

      They did it anyway to make money.

      Therefore: yes, it was their goal to destroy the planet. For money.

      What aren’t you getting here? Are you too enticed by Sunday Night Football and golf courses to fucking care? Your kids will die, bro. Wake the fuck up.

        Their goal was to make a bajillion dollars, the planet was just the obstacle

        Step down off your high horse son, you have made a lot of strange assumptions about the intent of my statement and who I am, and they are all completely off-base.

        Literally just pointing out that their goal was to make money, and they didn’t care about the results. Their goal was not to destroy the planet like some sort of cartoon villain, the real villain was chasing money. I am not pro-oil or trying to defend these assholes, honestly the fact that killing the planet was incidental damns them even more.

        Seriously though you gotta step the fuck off with this hateful and off-base bullshit, you have totally alienated me so you could go on your “brave” rant, when I am literally on your side and not any of the things you described me as in any way.

        Wake the fuck up and treat people like humans instead of spreading needless hate online.

          They KNEW they were going to destroy the planet, they still did it to make money. How is that not literally Captain Planet villain shit?!?!?!

            Do you literally not see how doing it incidentally is worse?

            They literally burned the planet down just to make more money, it wasn’t even a calculation to them, they had to do this for the sake of money.

            Some evil villain insanely plotting in a mountain lair didn’t destroy the planet, there wasn’t a league of evil wearing flashy costumes, it was a bunch of “normal” people wearing grey suits, sitting in an office soberly making these decisions because the money required them to, their entire business operation depends on it.

            The real villain is money, and my real issue is being screamed and accused at for trying to point this out.

              And the reason you’re getting push back is because that is because yes we get it, capitalism is the arch vampire, but it’s avatars in the boardrooms wearing the suits are still “real villain.”

              If the science was ambiguous they could claim they just did it for money and didn’t care, but they fucking KNEW. Seriously go watch an episode of captain planet and tell me how it’s different than actual cartoon villainy…

                “Pushback”

                You lunatics need to calm the fuck down, you alienate anyone that doesn’t fall into your ridiculous hivemind with personal attacks and toxic behaviour.

                Literally quibbling over semantics and it immediately becomes personal and hateful.

                I am done with all of you, there is no discussion only vile behaviour.
