My point is that they are not suffering at the levels I compared it to, yet have the gall to tell everyone else not only what to talk about - but that they shouldn't even be talking about anything else.
I may not be suffering either, but I'm not telling anyone that I know better then them what "the real problem is". I thought this would've been understandable, but maybe the clarification helps.
- wbsss4412 5y agoWhile I don’t agree with the author that climate change is the _only_ thing we should talk about, his premise that there are many issues and crises that compete for our attention is valid, and, further, his point that there needs to be a discussion about what to prioritize is a valid one as well. Saying “oh you don’t suffer therefore you don’t have any right to tell people what to do!” is classic derailing and it is what the opposition has done with climate change for decades. I don’t doubt that you had good intent with your comment, though.
