I’m not seeing the collective action problem here. All the personal shaming stuff feels like a big grift.
- knodi123 3y agono, it's not ecologically effective to bomb all the oil platforms. That would actually be an ecological disaster.
- sprucevoid 3y agoPhasing out oil and coal production would be great, but that's a task for politics. It is still a collective action problem though since any such agenda needs to gain popular support in a democracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem As individuals we can both take some actions to reduce climate impact in our daily lives and also support movements and campaigns for actions on the political level. No contradiction there.
