The ideas are, from what I can tell, to further limit my quality of life while those making the demands are not. Why should that be enough for me?
And why wouldn't e.g. less plane travel help with the problem? Their demands are for people to travel less by plane ... it's just that it should be other people, not them.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoSo these people you know are, for no stated reason, wanting to abitrarily limit your quality of life and that of everyone else who isn't them, and yet you claimed you could be easily won over to their side if they just personally flew less themselves? Those people sound terrible, and you shouldn't let them convince you, I'm confused as to why you would be so open to their arguments, they sound terrible. I mistakenly thought you were talking about real people who actually exist, who know that systemic action is required to deal with climate change and called you out on your obvious concern trolling about their personal choices within the current system. Agreeing with those people would make sense, because they are correct, which is generally a good rule of thumb when deciding who to agree with, hence my assumption that you were talking about them when you said you nearly agreed with them (though still confused about why'd you'd hold back on that agreement based on things unrelated to the actual issue).
