I’m with you that the economic system is the root cause of the problem and I’m fighting that battle too in my own way. I have too much to lose to really fight it, but there’s a lot more direct action and community involvement I could be doing. Ideologically, though, I’m anti-capitalist and believe that the way forward is collectivism in the form of anarcho-communism.

That’s a lot harder to achieve than going vegan, though.

fair enough, no shortage of problems from the wealthy and capitalism at large.

one battle at a time

Maybe they should advocate for better fuel regulations and densification ;)

On the other hand React Native is a JavaScript based development language developed by Facebook to make applications run slower and worse.

ok be the worst version of yourself

I am not the one making excuses about individual climate action. I take individual climate action. I’m vegan, I am electrifying my house, I have consistently reduced my consumption. I aim for a lifestyle that would scale up to the whole world.

If you think we need to eliminate the wealthy or nothing is worth doing, then do the thing you think is worth doing. I’m doing plenty, I’m not the one making excuses.

The question isn’t whether others are doing more harm than you, the question is whether your lifestyle would scale up such that if everyone lived like you, would we be sustainable?

Yours is the small scale version of the Canadian and American excuse that China emits more in absolute numbers despite being much better than us per capita.

Stop making excuses, take personal action.

Shame is a good motivator for people that have it

Post has no point, smoother than your brain

Remember that when your life and the life of your loved ones is shit. Grandpa just couldn’t be fucked to take any action.

thanks for all your climate action 🫡

Ok go ahead, instead you’ll do nothing.

If someone is beating the shit out of you and someone else is pissing on your face, assuming you’re not into it, would you say it’s not worth stopping the guy beating on you because you’ll still be pissed on?

if you think the problem is capitalism and rich people why not put your efforts towards that instead of recycling? Instead, you just want an excuse to do nothing.

Object oriented programming was a mistake

Yeah this thread ended up being more hostile to regular Americans than I intended but US culture and US global hegemony are the things that attract and amplify the shitty people from around the world.

USA is the final boss of capitalist imperialism and the people have completely lost control over the reins. It’s now a matter of when they actually say enough is enough, be it now or after Fascism runs its course and hurts millions of others around the world as well.

Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.

We’re not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.

Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets

These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it’s dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don’t have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don’t feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

Stop your billionaires from funding right wing bullshit in my country then

After all the shit you’re giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He’s a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he’s your creation.
