    Remember: The oil industry knew for 70 years what burning oil does to the climate and has been actively undermining that truth for 50 years - that’s the Climate Scam. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/12/exxon-climate-change-global-warming-research

    This kind of propaganda is desperate. I’m surprised they found this many streamers who apparently don’t care where the money comes form.

    Lmao, there is something deeply entertaining about Fortnite being used as a platform for corporate psyops.

    Sounds like the plot to a captain planet episode.

    (Not to downplay how insidious and crappy this is)
