I would argue the we won't get anywhere because the real biggest sources of pollution have billion-dollar businesses behind them, that employ armies of lawyers, lobbyists and PR people. And they have been successfully redirecting the public attention into performative, but effectively useless forms that do not pose a threat to their bottom line.
- thejazzman 3y agoPeople have all the power. It's too bad they don't realize it and repeat the other phrase. There's a reason they don't want us to assemble. Ugh now I'm on a list.
- yetihehe 3y agoProblem is, most people do not assemble by themselves. They need some leaders to assemble. That leaders will have better life by not trying to assemble mobs in order to fight people who provide some luxuries in life (like refridgerators etc). This could be of course solved if our current "elites" were not decadent and would listen to people. But because most people got enough luxury to be content, they didn't care about who they vote for and gruadually we've voted in selfish sociopaths to positions of power, which eroded trust in those at power, now no one trusts that anyone voted in will change anything. The result according to historians is strong authoritarian leader (the hero who will change everything), but those are rarely working for public good and people with weak education due to declining societal standards will not know how to choose properly.
