    If you seriously can’t make your point without ridiculing people who have literally lost everything, in many cases even their lives, maybe don’t make the fucking point.

      I don’t see it as ridiculing anyone. It’s criticising the system that created this mess.

    Man, what a shitty dig to make about a tragedy of death that just happened.

    …Maybe Ho could wait until they’re done clearing the bodies and rubble before using the incident as a platform for his opinions?

    I don’t care if he and I share some agreement on cars and their overuse within our cities, that is in incredibly poor taste.

    I’m all in for FuckCars, but oh man…

    Imagine living your ordinary life, then all of the sudden you lose half if not all that you own… and then you receive a link to a twitter post of some punk making fun of you from the comfort of his apartament, not giving a fuck.

    Gauche caviar.

      I agree that its tasteless, but the cars are most likely directly responsible for the intensity of this disaster. Ofcourse only in part but so far the world has not made any significant progress in getting rid of them.

      This tweet is just the messenger.

        According to statista, cars and vans account for around 10% of global CO2 emissions.

        For comparison, aviation accounts for around 2.5% of emissions, and more than half of it is produced by private jets.

        Putting major responsibility on victims of floods is just absolutely cruel and ignorant.

          The original post doesnt in any way put responsibility for this disaster on individual victims. It just states the fact that actions have consequences and that we cant avoid them for much longer. Just accept reality. Millions will die unless we do something. Its not the time to be mad about a slightly insensitive post.
