00:00:00.000 Greetings, my esteemed subscribers, and greetings to everyone who is perhaps not already subscribed.
00:00:07.920 If you aren't already subscribed, I definitely encourage you to smash the subscribe button with the force of a thousand suns.
00:00:17.260 I will try to not disappoint you.
00:00:20.500 But, that being said, we are talking about Greenpeace today.
00:00:25.700 Whether they are based and green-pilled or not.
00:00:30.020 And I thought we could approach this question by looking at their Instagram.
00:00:35.880 And since I have already encouraged you to subscribe to my YouTube channel, I might as well encourage you to check out my Instagram as well.
00:00:44.600 I do try to impart some motivation and some wisdom on a daily basis.
00:00:51.280 So, you see this highly aesthetic feed before you.
00:00:56.100 And you can see some cool videos every once in a while too.
00:00:59.880 So, yeah, here is from a few months back.
00:01:02.380 Where the scenery here in good old Sweden was still full of Father Frost's influence, so to speak.
00:01:13.400 But, anyway, back to the topic at hand.
00:01:16.940 Greenpeace.
00:01:17.520 So, let's just go through a few of their posts and see what the crack is.
00:01:25.480 So, first, we have no forests, no life.
00:01:30.440 Save the Amazon. 0.99
00:01:32.560 Thousands of indigenous people are gathering in Brasilia this week to demand their rights.
00:01:38.560 Backed by Bolsonaro's government, invasions in indigenous lands have increased dramatically.
00:01:44.480 Let's show them they are not alone.
00:01:47.520 Yeah, absolutely.
00:01:49.400 I totally agree with Greenpeace here.
00:01:51.900 I do believe that the Amazon forest should be protected.
00:01:56.540 And, obviously, I do believe that these natives have the right to live a traditional and good life in tune with Mother Nature.
00:02:08.000 So, definitely, do not buy meat from Brazil.
00:02:12.580 Bolsonaro is good in many ways, but not in this way at all.
00:02:18.180 So, that was the first picture.
00:02:20.360 Let's move on.
00:02:21.780 We have an aesthetic group of stingray and some fish.
00:02:27.620 Beautiful.
00:02:28.140 Let's protect their home.
00:02:29.500 So, yes, hard to argue about with that.
00:02:34.160 Then we have some plastic.
00:02:36.340 The plastic question.
00:02:38.500 Recycling could never handle the amount of plastic waste surrounding our everyday life.
00:02:43.480 And now it's flooding into the global south.
00:02:47.860 Well, it's, to a large extent, coming out from the global south.
00:02:53.240 At least if we're looking at rivers that are polluting the oceans, mainly in China and India.
00:02:59.460 So, but, other than that, I definitely agree that plastic is a problem.
00:03:07.740 Moving on.
00:03:10.020 Some more indigenous peoples.
00:03:13.860 He looks in tune with his ancestors.
00:03:17.340 He takes pride in his heritage.
00:03:19.720 And I definitely respect that.
00:03:23.140 Then here we have two children.
00:03:25.520 Quite cringe, to be honest.
00:03:27.480 I don't really believe these children have come to any particular conclusions of themselves.
00:03:32.840 But they have parents who want to virtue signal.
00:03:35.620 So, I don't really endorse that, to be honest.
00:03:40.660 And we have a meme here.
00:03:43.100 When you disagree on politics, but both want to solve climate change.
00:03:47.620 Okay, though, this was quite fun, actually.
00:03:49.820 Especially the face, the facial expression of Voldemort here.
00:03:54.020 I am not a huge Harry Potter fan.
00:03:56.640 At least not the films.
00:03:58.160 But I did really enjoy reading the books when I was younger.
00:04:02.380 So, yes, this gets a glorious bill approved.
00:04:05.720 And the message is also quite nice there, indeed.
00:04:08.840 That you can agree upon certain things, even though you disagree upon other things.
00:04:14.000 Then we have an anti-Macron protester.
00:04:19.480 And, yeah, great to see.
00:04:22.060 Macron is not a good man.
00:04:25.520 Not a good man at all. 0.99
00:04:26.960 He is quite evil, to be perfectly honest.
00:04:30.740 So, yes, I endorse this message.
00:04:33.820 But perhaps not because he does not put the climate first.
00:04:37.820 But because he doesn't put the French population first.
00:04:41.080 But, anyway, Macron is bad.
00:04:43.860 Macron man bad, is what we can say.
00:04:49.240 Then some more save the Amazon. 0.98
00:04:51.940 And then some more what looks to be plastic.
00:04:56.760 Today Greenpeace Switzerland activists showed up at Nestlé to tell the company to stop their out-of-control production of a single-use plastic.
00:05:05.120 Yeah, I totally agree with that action.
00:05:10.720 Single-use plastic is a scourge on this earth.
00:05:14.180 Obviously, plastic in general can be hard to remove from our world.
00:05:19.840 But single-use plastic can definitely be something that we can manage without.
00:05:25.960 So, yeah, this action.
00:05:27.640 Again, I give it my consent.
00:05:31.460 And also in regards to this particular action, this is where I think Greenpeace can really shine when they put pressure on big companies.
00:05:40.980 So, this picture, for example, you see before you, Coca-Cola, is this yours.
00:05:45.760 Definitely a great way to put pressure on these giant corporations. 0.99
00:05:50.460 Because, as you see, they are very sensitive to watch the customers, basically.
00:05:56.380 And since environmentalism is so popular these days, they can really push the pace, put on the pressure to make these corporations a bit more careful with what they do.
00:06:11.760 So, yes, tips Pickelhauber to Greenpeace in this regard.
00:06:16.940 And here we have another meme.
00:06:19.320 We went out for one coffee. 0.95
00:06:21.720 Then he has dumped me like I was trash. 0.88
00:06:25.000 Break up with single-use plastic.
00:06:27.120 Find yourself a keeper.
00:06:28.800 Going along the same theme there.
00:06:31.560 And, yeah, I agree with that as well.
00:06:37.040 Moving on.
00:06:38.140 We should protect the oceans like our lives depend on it.
00:06:41.880 Because they do.
00:06:43.200 Yes, that is hard to dispute.
00:06:47.320 Then, scrolling down a bit more, blah, blah, Brexit.
00:06:53.880 Stop climate chaos.
00:06:56.020 I don't endorse them if this means that they're counter-signaling Brexit.
00:07:01.720 But I don't know if they are.
00:07:03.720 They're probably thinking that the discussion is too heavily geared towards Brexit and too little against the climate change.
00:07:11.340 But, anyway, there is no planet B.
00:07:16.420 Young, two young women.
00:07:20.060 And, okay, so it's a worldwide strike here.
00:07:25.620 This guy looks a bit like a new male.
00:07:28.860 He should probably hit the gym instead of protesting.
00:07:32.400 But then another child.
00:07:36.020 I think she should be in school instead of protesting here, to be perfectly honest.
00:07:40.680 All right, so I'm just going to scroll through a bit more here to see if we can find anything more fun.
00:07:48.520 But, otherwise, we can head on to the conclusion.
00:07:52.480 Okay, we can look at this horrible thing.
00:07:54.960 40 kg.
00:07:55.960 That's how much plastic was found inside a whale that washed ashore recently in the Philippines.
00:08:01.660 And, yeah, look at that picture.
00:08:04.860 Quite brutal.
00:08:06.460 Quite brutal, indeed.
00:08:08.800 It's urgent for corporations to reduce the production of single-use plastic and redesign packaging and systems to minimize plastic waste.
00:08:17.160 Yeah, definitely.
00:08:18.240 I agree.
00:08:19.760 So, we have looked a bit at their various posts here on Instagram, at least.
00:08:24.600 And they have 1.5 million followers.
00:08:27.760 So, yeah, a good reach.
00:08:29.660 They have a very good reach.
00:08:31.000 And whenever they are posting these sort of messages, obviously, we'll have an impact.
00:08:37.340 So, good stuff.
00:08:40.160 In general, I would say, and this will be for a separate video later on,
00:08:44.560 that there are different things that are threatening Mother Earth, so to speak.
00:08:50.280 And I'd say plastic pollution quite high on that list.
00:08:53.360 But many of the protests that we've seen over the last few months have been geared towards climate change.
00:09:02.120 And, in my humble opinion, we should focus on what we can see before us.
00:09:07.240 And, yeah, as Greenpeace shows quite clearly here, is that plastic pollution is a huge problem.
00:09:13.300 So, yes, Greenpeace's Instagram gets my sign of approval, at least.
00:09:18.860 But, then again, they post some cringe-worthy leftist nonsense every once in a while.
00:09:24.980 And I always comment whenever they do.
00:09:28.580 So, I do use my Instagram for spreading the good word.
00:09:32.920 The good word of the primordial truth.
00:09:36.640 So, anyway, I hope this was a somewhat good video, at least.
00:09:40.780 I will make more environmentalist videos in the coming time.
00:09:45.380 But I just wanted to make this to, yeah, so you know what is up on Instagram.
00:09:50.960 Thank you for watching.
00:09:53.060 XOXO, boo.
