Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Pollution Speech Sparks Wild Reactions

Needless to say, Arnold Schwarzenegger laid a motivational assault on Instagram that nearly crushed the internet. The Terminator himself, all the way at USC Annenberg, was tossing around pollution like his old days throwing around cyborgs. Simple and sweet, the message was that “The power is in our communities, our schools, at our local government, and in our personal lives.” But Arnold meant it, and the comments: total mayhem.

First puns: user richaday opened with “Come with me if you want to not litter”-really hammering his most recognized line. Right there: a classic. Then we had luizedgardoficial, really getting into the camaraderie, immediately forgetting about the whole environment thing: “Arnold, you look great man!! Keep pumping!!” Wow. Priorities, people.

Some people were a tad less jocular. Shadows were thrown by dspoons3: “Terrible Governor! RINO! Great Bodybuilder and movie star though ⭐️”-I guess world-saving comes with political opinions that rub some people the wrong way. Aonmgaerl countered with, “The thing here arnold is that you know S about AI :)”. Not very clever for someone who probably couldn’t bench-press a toaster.

But there were some, how should we say, interesting perspectives that emerged. For instance, heitorcardoso868 said, “Sou tão fã desse cara que eu cheiraria a cueca dele” (I love this guy so much I would sniff his underwear). Uh, nice? The conspiracy theory was ramped up, as unidesigns.ireland took a whole rant on “pedophiles” and a whole rant on labrobber voices. Yikes.

Then came some golden moments. Aianthems busted up: “Imagining the Terminator being programmed to destroy pollution is hilarious, but that would actually be an incredibly powerful use case for humanoid robots…”-Somebody get James Cameron on the phone again. And, of course, n_oneks slid into Arnold’s DMs: “Wish you saw my mssgs sexy man! 😈🙈😘 @schwarzenegger” Quite bold.

Anyway, a heartfelt tribute was made by the__fifth__element: “I’ve been someone I would look up to for a long time. Your discipline, your drive, and reinvention over the years are so inspirational.” Awkward but cute. Even deer.603422, who claims to be a Democrat, had to admit: “Im a registered Democrat and even i would vote for him.” That is some high praise.

But the wildest moment? Aurea_figueredo went on with an unintelligible bilingual rant about AI and warfare, finishing with “DEUS sabe q não tô mentindo!🙏Bjos😘💙😘” (GOD knows I’m not lying! Kisses 😘💙😘).Lady, this is a Wendy’s.

Arnold’s post inspired some… creative solutions. Danielraysirvace suggested: “The sun burns Hydrogen….earth is a Hydrogen powered planet…build hydrogen combustion engines that run on HH or H20 like steam powered traines used to do…” We should give this man a grant right now. And yogmudraman announced: “Phycho Synthetic fibre invention will negate pollution, atoms regrouping 🔥😍.” Alright.

Then exoticpopmack threw in an actual prayer: “I pray for a Hedge of Protection against the enemy for you, me, and the next to see… In Jesus Christ name we pray, AMEN AMEN AND AMEN.” Arnold’s probably used to this by now.

So what’s the conclusion? Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger can bring people together, in favor of the air, for clean forests, for weird fanfics, and the most impromptu sermons. And, you know, anything less would really not suit us. Now it’s time to develop an actual movie Terminatotor: Eco-Warrior.
