This is a cop out that capitalism LOVES. It relinquishes the individual of any blame and encourages more consumption.
We need to consume less and vote for climate policy. This begins with the individual.
Those companies only get away with it because of our complacency. Your logic encourages that complacency and corporations LOVE that. They're happy to take the blame because they know people will still buy their product.
It starts with the individual. Nothing changes until the individual cares enough.
There are always excuses and others to blame while we destroy the livable environment.
- andrewflnr 1y agoFunny, the line I hear more often is that blaming consumers instead of corporations is the capitalist copout. The point being, we need political change that regulates the corporations more than we need individual behavior change, and corporations would rather have any other outcome. That version makes more sense to me.
