I have a pretty strong suspicion that the average person who holds this discourse does not support political actions against global warming even when they would hamper big corporations and rich people (eg carbon taxes, cap-and-trade policies, closing coal plants, pre-planned ICE vehicle bans in 10 years, etc).
The last person who gave me this spiel said it right after suggesting I take the place from france to canada, and got mad I suggested they install an electric stove instead of a gas one.
- throwawaylinux 3y agoI don't quite understand what you're saying here. Somebody told you to eat bugs and you suggested they get rid of their gas stove for some reason. I don't quite see how it addresses what I or the original poster wrote. For what it's worth, it's perfectly possible to be disillusioned and angry at the ruling class and their policies and their hypocrisy and profiteering at the expense of the environment, while also wishing for real uncorrupted environmental action. Some people are sick of it all and have given up on it. I place a lot more blame on the people who soured their attitudes.
