Will these bastards ever face accountability?
Let me answer your question with another question.
Will the masses literally having loved ones killed by greed induced climate change ever accept that the toxic social opiates they're fed to remain complacent (social media, fast food, unnecessary plastic crap, literal opiates, etc) aren't worth burning our sole, shared habitat and any future for humanity in the name of short term private profit, and both bring justice to them and accept the necessary reduced quality of life that will come with the necessary destruction of the supply chains destroying the human habitability of the planet for millions of years?
Because incremental change would have been an option... Half a century ago when we were loudly warned. Drastic action is necessary today, the kind that will make a billion including possibly you and I starve. I argue that if there is any decency in our species... At all... we should, otherwise we're telling all potential future generations to go fuck themselves over our Postmates and Pop Figures.
Ok so BP is going to declare bankruptcy and liquidate, and all these cockroaches will scatter into the shadows instead of being held accountable...
Yes.
BP isn't even the biggest rock that needs overturning
