When was this written, in the 1980's?

I don’t think the just stop oil people are advocating a sudden immediate and 100% stopping of oil use…

Rather an aggressive elimination of our reliance on oil.

Your list is absolute horseshit right from the start.

so oilbrained that you included "no fuel to run the oiltankers" as a downside to not producing oil

There is absolutely no car that runs on anything other than oil. NONE 🙄

Fuck off

Is this a bit? It's so incredibly stupid that you would think anyone would just turn the oil off rather than transition to clean energy. They even call the process Green Transition

The point is to stop expanding oil exploitation and refinement, and gradually reduce our dependency on the existing refining capabilities. But sure, your strawman of stopping all refining at once sounds pretty bad, almost as bad as unchecked climate change...

Shut up nerd

I guess Exxon and BP execs have Lemmy socks now. Death to the settler empire.

Thanks, Petro Bot 9001!

those are all good things you dork

"Ah but you see, we have been made dependent on oil!" Yeah dude, that's the whole point, that's why people are roasting to death in the thousands under heat domes right now for the wealth of a few petroleum corporations. This is on the level of "Don't you realize that if we destroy capitalism, nobody will be able to pay rent??" Just a missing of the point so total and comprehensive that it would actually make me less annoyed if it was on purpose.

for a studied and nuanced take on this subject which addresses the fact that everything in the first world ultimately runs on oil i recommend: https://thehonestsorcerer.medium.com/collapse-too-might-come-sooner-than-expected-eb3f16e8542d

Thank you for taking 30 seconds out of your day to research and write that list.

What happens to the woke agenda if we stop oil? Surely the libs get owned?

Plastics. That's likely the biggest impact most people are unaware of.
