Do you know what would impress me a lot more than protesting? Lead by example. If Greenpeace and the rest of their ilk care enough, they should lead by example

If Greenpeace and the rest of their ilk care enough, they should lead by example - announce that they'll no longer use cars, telephones, computers, heaters, air conditioners, or anything that was made by a process that also created pollution. No email, no internet, nothing more than riding on horseback to drop a letter made on hand made paper off. I think that would be good for them as an organization and good for the rest of the world.
- Confusion 17y agoAh yes, the old discussion poisoning fallacy of "drawing a straw man and implying the other party are hypocrites for not following/implementing/adhering to the straw man". And somewhat less abstract: if someone argues in favor of a smaller government, they are not automatically anarchists that think there shouldn't be a government at all. Painting a world without a military and challenging them to go live in that world is not a proper counterargument.
