…I feel like that word doesn’t mean what you think it means
This is why I hate the oversimplification of language and distilling everything into buzzwords.
Sure, it’s easier to have shorthand for the people who know what they’re talking about. But eventually people only learn the shorthand and the context it’s used in.
It’s exactly like trump screaming
Puppet! You’re the puppet!
He didn’t know why people kept calling him a puppet, just that it was bad so he called them that back.
Not to mention the huge PR gain from having to call “ecoterrorists” what they really are “people who put the environment over capitalism”.
Terrorism implies the knowing attempt at causing terror. Pretty sure most people just don’t know they’re bad for the environment. I just looked them up because I was like “isn’t it just cotton? Could easily have been recycled and seems better than plastic decorations” and then I find out it’s bad for birds if put outside. Rather than labeling people ecoterrorists it might be good to assume not everyone has the same information you do and try to educate.
Edit: just got the joke… eco and terror. I need sleep.
I think OP means that if you didn’t remove the real spider webs (thus removing the spiders and damaging the ecosystem), you wouldn’t have to use the fake stuff.
I left cobwebs up for my Halloween party and one of them even caught a hornet in it. Thank you spiders! Very cool!
I think you mean an “eeek-ooh-terrorist”
This pun is too powerful for Lemmy. 😔
