Do you think there's anyone promoting individual action who'd be against collective action? Or could a small individual action be a gateway to participating in collective action?
- oppzixi00 8y ago> Do you think there's anyone promoting individual action who'd be against collective action? Yes. A lobbyist who wants to avoid new legislation to control climate change, but still claim they care about it.
- Vinnl 8y agoAh sorry, it should indeed have said: is there anyone who is in favour of individual action, but against collective action.
- kiliantics 8y agoThere are many people who seem to enjoy the aesthetics of consumerist-oriented environmental action but are horrified by the idea of mass protest, civil disobedience, worker's strikes, etc.
- Vinnl 8y agoSure, you're not going to get them to do any of those things. You would still need to get them to vote in line with these principles. The question is also: how do you convince those who are prepared to take action to do so?
- kiliantics 8y agoMany are prepared to take action and actively do so. They are subsequently vilified by politicians and media for not falling in line and voting or taking other acceptable (and ineffective) actions. Strikes and large protests are not encouraged in mainstream discourse and the principles they represent are not available as an option to vote for.
