I found this to be an interesting point: >“We should also be aware how the forces of denial are exploiting the lifestyle change movement to get their supporters to argue with each other. It takes pressure off attempts to regulate the fossil fuel industry. This approach is a softer form of denial and in many ways it is more pernicious.” ...because yes, that's the conflict I can observe in Germany: the conversation is driven by social psychology, it's all about belonging, about peer confirmation. That's a dangerous path to be on, because professional politicians are playing this very game since democracy is a thing - you can't be pushed to tougher legislation if the conversation is all about individual responsibility. It's only natural for a political party to delegate-away the responsibility/change the tone of the conversation (unless the topic matches their core interests).
